Doug Keating does an amazing job promoting his shows in MA and taking mail order for his very fairly priced autograph guests. My latest purchase is no different. Joe Castiglione is the recipient of the 2024 Ford Frick Award and showed up to Doug’s show on New Years Day. I bought a pre-signed baseball and received it today. It was signed by Joe along with “Frick Award HOF ’24” and fits perfectly in my collection!

A couple weeks ago I received my April 1961 Baseball Digest signed by Al Spangler and immediately sent it to Tony Kubek to finish the cover. It shows a face shot of both men on the cover and I really do not like having items that I cannot complete or are not complete in my collection. I also sent a Ford Frick Hall of Fame postcard with the magazine. Tony was the Ford Frick recipient in 2009 being recognized for his broadcasting skills. His voice, along with Joe Garagiola, was the sound of my Saturday mornings as a kid watching the “Game of the Week”. Throw in Mel Allen on “This Week in Baseball” before the “Game of the Week” and it was a Ford Frick recipient trifecta!
Today I received both items signed in blue Sharpie for my collection.
Frick’n Awesome! Part III
Today I received a pair of Ford Frick Hall of Fame postcards signed by Denny Matthews. A friend of mine told me I should send Ford Frick postcards to recipients of the Ford Frick award and I thought that was a great idea.
Frick’n Awesome! Part II
Today I received a pair of Ford Frick Hall of Fame postcards signed by Dave Van Horne. A friend of mine told me I should send Ford Frick postcards to recipients of the Ford Frick award and I thought that was a great idea. Mr Van Horne also returned my donation as well as included a signed business card!
