I am now quite obsessed with signed baseballs and other various Major League Baseball memorabilia. This stuff is quite expensive. I currently own just one signed baseball. It was signed by Justin Morneau, first baseman of the Minnesota Twins and somewhere my dad has a Ticket signed by Torii Hunter, Former Twin; Current Angel.
I've always been enamored with baseball autographs and if I was a millionaire or even a baseball player (aka still a millionaire) I'd have tons of them. Signed Jerseys, Bats, Baseballs, Hats. You name it. Right now the only thing I can afford is signed baseballs and even some of them are expensive. During me and my Dad's latest trip to Baltimore on Thursday night as we were leaving I decided to stop by the stand set up selling all the autographed things. I figured it would just be all current and former Orioles signatures. As I started to look through them I realized it was autographs from players all over Baseball history. I saw a Ted Williams ball (super expensive) along with a Hank Aaron Ball (also pretty pricey). I ended up buying a ball signed by Harmon Killebrew with the number of career homeruns he hit. I gave it to my dad and I also ordered him a signed Duke Snider ball I found from the same people. I'm giving him the Duke Snider ball for Father's day. Snider was he favorite ball player when growing up.
I'd love to get some more signatures as time goes on. Maybe some more current players. I'd like to get a Mauer ball for sure. Probably a Thome one too.
Maybe I'll win the lottery soon and be able to buy all the stupid baseball stuff I want......
