Is the Gambler adverse to autographs? A review of ebay shows very little material for a modern player.

Hi Steve,
Out of the living members of the perfect game club, Kenny Rogers and Sandy Koufax are by far the toughest to get. Both do not participate in many autograph signings these days. I believe that the last time Kenny Rogers did a mass public signing was perhaps 8-10 years ago and at that time his signing fee was approx. $120.00. At one time, earlier in his career, Rogers was a pretty good signer in person.

Kenny Rogers is friends with pitcher Kevin Brown and sometimes attends a charity fund raiser that Brown hosts that's held at the Bass Pro down in Macon, GA. It isn't widely advertised, but Kenny Rogers and Kevin Brown (another non-signer) will sign for a reasonable donation, say $25.

I hope this helps!

I was in school in San Francisco at the time. A friend and I took the train over to Oakland on a lark to see if we could get into the A's game. With McGwire and Canseco and the rest of that team it was a very hot ticket. It was sold out and the scalpers wanted $20 or more a ticket for crappy seats. We figured why pay big [for a student] bucks for a lousy regular season game from the bleachers so we got back on the train and went bar-hopping in Berkeley instead. Later that night I saw the highlights and was sick--Ryan pitched a no-no. Closest I've ever gotten to being at one.
