Randall,
Your persistence in doing all the driving to attend The Big Unit's 300th win makeup game the next day payed off big for you. I wish I had been able to have seen this game in person. Congrats!!

This possibly could be the 1st Baseball Tiger Woods signed. Not sure how many he has signed.
This was signed 12/14/1996 in Las Vegas. Several athletes and stars were at the opening of the "All Star Cafe" on Las Vegas Blvd. Ball and picture of Tiger Woods signing the ball. The All Star Cafe has since closed.

I picked up this baseball about a year ago..it's the ball that was won in the "name the team" contest for the 1953 Lincoln minor league club. 16 year old Jim Walters won the contest...I've attached the article from the newspaper too. The ball was signed by Bobby Shantz (former Lincoln player) and the GM Bill Hayes.

Thought I'd chime in on this one, I have a ton of very expensive vintage baseballs, but this one means a lot to me, not just the ball, but the whole piece.

My Mom tells this story of my Dad watching the Angels / Athletics game while my Mom was in labor, Because I took so long to make my way into the world my Dad got a little bored and payed more attention to the Game that was going into extra's. I've been an Angels fan since the day I was born so it means a lot to me to find this.

Its a ticket stub from the game, April 6th, 1982 the day I was born, and the very game my Dad was watching! California Angels @ Athletics! I know its not too old but to find a random ticket like this was amazing to me, and only for $1 on eBay! I would have paid $500 if I needed to. I later added a boxscore and then a 1982 team signed ball to top it off. I think its a one of a kind, and one of my fav's.

A couple of my favorites: a 1939 PCL ball signed by the league champion Sacramento Solons. The signatures are all but faded away.



...and a 1951 Harridge ball stamped for the Western International League
