August Autograph Pickups

So I went to the Tigers game yesterday to get potential HOFer Joe West's autograph (will not get into debate of whether Umpires deserve induction). Anyways, after the game he signed the below baseball and inscription. Turns out since 5000 games umpired, he inscribes every baseball with total number of games umpired. The inscription will never be used again after Today's game. Thought that was kind of different and very Joe West of him.

Wow, he actually has a beautiful autograph! Based on that odd frickin chin of his, I would not have guessed!

Say what you will, the guy has seen his share of games!

#270-And it is Biggie (in terms of difficulty, not size).

Wow, some amazing National pickups and I love the Chief Meyers that started the thread.
Picked up this 1963 Red Sox autographed team ball at a sale this weekend -- it has a couple of marks on it, but still pretty cool.
