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.

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!

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!

I received a pair of Baseball Digest magazines today! Joey Jay signed by February, 1962 issue and Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda signed my April, 1962 issue. Both were signed in blue Sharpie. Joey sent a quick note of thanks as well.
