Oh, that is very cool.
How did you get him to do that? Is he your buddy or something?

Thanks! I bought a 1996 Alex Rodriguez Game Used Rawlings signed HR #15 Bat. Watched video of that game and found that he used a Louisville Slugger Bat, not a Rawlings Bat. Contacted his public relations people and Arod game me this bat as a replacement. Went nuts when I received it.

I own a 1996 Billings Mustangs (Short Season A, Pioneer League, Cincinnati Reds affiliate) team signed baseball. It's pretty much worthless. But as a kid, I loved going to their baseball games. They played ball in this horrible, old wood stadium. The Marlboro Man was beyond the outfield fence. The concessions, gift shop, and sno-cone/cotton candy stand were underneath the bleachers. Whenever a major play happened it became deafening loud with people stomping their feet. There was a parking lot that led to the entrance of the stadium, and cars parked there "at their own risk." Every foul ball was accompanied by the announcer playing the sound of breaking glass, but the irony was that it was actually possible to lose your windshield or window even though it was running joke of the ballpark. It was an atmosphere that can't be replaced with concrete and rebar. The stadium was torn down and replaced nearly a decade ago, and so looking at the ball is just a nice memory of great summer nights in a league that MLB is now considering to be non-essential.

A short time after his death, Bob's family sold some of his personal items in a major auction. I was the under bidder on this. The high bidder is a Net54 member and a couple years later I managede to buy it from him.

Bob was actually signed and pitched for the Indians in his junior year of high school. He probably got this ring right at the same time. Here is a picture of him wearing it at his high school graduation dinner.

I purchased this when I sold my company. I would sell it but, I would have to get a tremendous price for it. I also have a photo of Babe holding one of these movie poster's making it a very cool companion piece
