| Introduction | It all began about 15 years ago, after my wife introduced me to Joe Torre at a holiday event. That was my first autograph experience. I found that while I loved owning the piece of memorabilia, I enjoyed being able to tell the story that went with the item even more. Over the years, I chose to pay for some signings, while others were planned. Then there were the ones that were a factor of chance. But each interaction had a unique story and flavor to it. This blog is a collection of those stories. |
