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

Randall,
I had to laugh when I realized that your birthday was yesterday (May 14th). Happy birthday, buddy! My wife Mary's birthday is today, May 15th.
BTW, since I was born in November and can't collect baseball tickets to games (past the baseball season), I have collected tickets to her birthday, May 15th, 1963.

Very cool Randall, I always wondered if anyone else had their birthday ticket as well. Yours was probably harder to find, and I always wondered who would keep a ticket from and A's/Angels game from the 80's lol. I made that box score myself printing it on newspaper paper from target, and getting the box score info from baseball almanac, then a little Aaron Bros. for the matting. Believe it or not the seller of the 82' team ball originally had it posted for $4k! - I laughed and talked him down to $250, probably still a lot for an 82' Angels but I wasn't going to go out and get them 1 by 1.

I'm halfway there...if anyone can help me along, I would appreciate it! I'm missing home games for the Yankees, Senators, Braves and Cardinals.

And here's an odd fact: seven of the eight matchups that day were double-headers, so 15 games were played on my birthday!
