Until I discovered that the local minor league team brings in players every now and again for signings, my sports photos were few and far between. Aside from some early Mariners photo day shots, I met Bob Feller at a card shop. That was it. Then, I got a bunch of autographs at the 2001 Fan Fest, but was alone so didn't have any photos taken with any of them (Bob Gibson, Enos Slaughter, Orlando Cepeda, Carl Erskine, Rico Carty, Jim Rice, Pedro Guerrero, etc) except one…Garvey!
Me making Dave Stewart look small...  Harlem Globetrotter and Amazing Race star, Flight Time...  Feller in the 80s...  The Garv...  Rollie...  Dan Wilson...  Jeff Nelson...  Gaylord Perry was the first MiLB event and I didn't try to get a photo with him and my boys didn't want to pose with him either. He was kind of a grouch too…  And these are just too good not to share. 1980 Mariners photo night. Sporting a vintage look that night, but love that I have these now all these years later. http://1978theyearitallbegan.blogspo...irca-1980.html

 20230315_084753 by Todd Jenkins, on Flickr[/IMG][IMG]  20230315_085931 by Todd Jenkins, on Flickr[/IMG]Here is a picture with not just a sports figure but my all time favorite sports hero. The first photo was taken when when went to one of Harmon's signings in Sioux Falls, South Dakota some 25 years ago. The kids are my two oldest kids and of course they are all grown up now. The second photo is the photograph I had him sign. He was interested in the photograph and asked me what I did for living? When I told him I was a teacher/coach he asked if we wanted to sit down afterwards at the concession area for a coffee . Who does that, what a great person!! We talked about the photo and he asked me if I knew who he was shaking hands with at the time and I responded, Bobby Allison, I believe. He responded that is correct. He asked me where I got the photo, since has remembered the moment but had never seen the photo. I told him I purchased it online and gave him the info. I offered the photo to him to have but he said, No! hang it up in your wall, so it has been there even since. He asked what I taught and coached and we visited for 15 to 20 minutes. This is certainly the high point of my collecting. He was the most generous, nice man and left and endless impression on both me and my kids. The Killer was not a killer in person but more of a Harmless Harmon who was just a great role model.

At the age of 13, I got to visit Cooperstown for the 1973 inauguration of Harry Hooper, Early Wynn, Sandy Koufax, Buck Leonard and Yogi Berra. The all signed a baseball for me, but I played with it to the point that all of the signatures got super faded. Then I tried to write over them with my Bic ball point pen! Geesh, what a dummy!
