This was a great suprise! Max is one of my favorite Radio Voices of all time.. he is the radio man for ESPN's coverage of Kansas Jayhawks basketball, the team that was #1 for a while last season and had folks in the midwest dreaming up a Oklahoma v. KU rematch of the 1989 Final Four Championship.. I sent this request out last year so that probably explains why I was suprised to get it! Thanks a Million Max!
I had already given up on this one and was getting another request ready.. even thought it had only been a little over two weeks... Jerry was a legend in his day and continues as a different sort of legend as he continues to improve his Memphis Grizzlies, c/o Team address.
This Second Round steal by the Pittsburgh Steelers is sure to be a goldmine, already compared to the skills and knowledge of the game possessed by current Steeler QB Kordell Stewart. He signed both of my cards in a little over a month c/o Steelers Training Camp.
Buccaneers Training Camp c/o Joe's Knee
My Friend Joe went to the Bucc's Training Camp in Florida to try and get some autographs.. He did have a little trouble.. He was standing by a roped off area when Rob Johnson was running past and his cleats caught in the turf and he flew into Joe's knee. (So Joe in essence got sacked by a NFL QB'S!) He had a whole bunch of trouble getting other autographs, and honestly he shouldn't have since the doc says he has a torn ligament. But he did get me four autographs! Thanks a Million Joe!
Jon Gruden Coach Markese Fitzgerald (Rookie) Tracey Wistrom (Rookie)
This is the kind of things I dreamt of but never thought would happen.. I was at the NBC World Series getting autographs and already had 73 different ones when I spotted Mr. Boyd.. Its pretty easy to spot a Former Negro Leaguer.. especially when they are selling signed pictures of themselves. He signed a Ball, a Card and a Cracked bat I found at the Tourney, (He was NBC MVP in 1965.) and just for fun I had his grandson who was with him sign a card for me. I probably wont add most of the autographs I got since I can only read a extremely limited amount of them.
Gale Sayers - In Person... Wow!!
I'm still suprised it was so easy... He was here in town for an adoption program and I was able to get four sigs from one of the greatest of all time. And no doubt the second best Chicago Bear of all time behind the late Walter "Sweetness" Payton. This was an awesome event.. I'll never forget it.
I went to another signing today and got two KU Jayhawks players...
Former Jayhawk.. probably will get picked up by a NBA team later this year.. wore the same number at KU that Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain did.Brett Ballard

I went to a auto signing for Four Kansas State former athletes... Here they are...
Major Falcons Star... His signing helper was'nt to nice though.. Falcons Star... asked for one of my cards Halfway Ripped Eric Crouch's head of in a Wildcats-Huskers game a couple years back Jets #2 Draft pick this year..
