Just before I went on my summer baseball trip that included a game at Camden Yards in Baltimore, I looked for some Boog Powell items to bring along as I heard he signed at “Boog’s BBQ Pit” inside the stadium. He was not there when we were but I did have a tasty BBQ sandwich though! I checked and Boog had a signing listed at The Dugout Zone in Baltimore so I sent all the items in. Today they arrived! A friend of mine sent me a couple postcards from Boog’s playing days when he heard I was going to look for Boog at the ballpark. I got those two signed as well as the following magazines:
04.1970 All Star Sports (Jerry Koosman is on the cover so I may need to send it to him to finish it)
06.1971 Sport
1971 Maco Sports Baseball Guidebook
Everything is signed great!

Not Bogged Down
I will admit that I have sent to Wade Boggs too many times. I do, however, send a significant amount of cash in each package. Today I received a couple items that are duplicates but items I acquired only for the reason to get signed for my collection. I received a 3,000th hit commemorative card as well as a February, 1984 Baseball Digest. These are both duplicates but it was either get them signed and save them or toss them. They are still very nice additions to my collection!
Mr Mustache
I had mailed a pair of Baseball Digest magazines to Rollie Fingers and today they arrived signed! Rollie signed my January, 1975 and March, 1982 issues in perfect blue Sharpie!
Fostering My Collection
George Foster was once one of the most feared batters in baseball. He was on the cover of a number of magazines over the years. I had mailed him the December, 1977 Baseball Digest issue and it arrived back signed today!
