A couple weeks ago I received my August, 1966 Baseball Digest signed by Gene Alley back and immediately sent it to Bill Mazeroski to get him to sign it and finish the cover. Today it arrived beautifully signed by Maz. What is even cooler about this is that Cami and I were in Pittsburgh a month ago and went to the Forbes Field wall and the Bill Mazeroski statue at PNC Park. Nice way to tie in a memory to the magazine!

Dandy… just Dandy
Juan Marichal had the nickname of The Dominican Dandy and he was dandy for me today! Juan signed my July, 1966 Baseball Digest and it arrived today. While he did not sign in blue (it was black), he did include “HOF 83”. The cover is cool because it shows him with his trademark high leg kick windup.
Brook-sie
It is always a great day when you can add a Hall of Famer to the collection. It is even cooler when it is a cool image. Brooks Robinson is shown on the cover of the January, 1971 Baseball Digest issue diving to his left and he is showing the glove with the ball in it. Another snare by Brooks! He included HOF 1983 in blue Sharpie! A really cool issue for the collection!
Goose It!
Today’s Baseball Digest is from October, 1981 and features Goose Gossage on the cover. Goose signed it beautifully in blue Sharpie! A nice Hall of Famer to add to the Baseball Digest collection!
