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!

The Finger in the Cake
Ok. To be honest I had a much, much different title for this post but decided against it. A few weeks ago I noticed Brandon G was selling a couple stat balls for Rollie Fingers with the money going to a foundation that sponsors research for the illness his child is afflicted with. I have a bunch of Rollie Fingers autographs (who doesn’t?) but not a stat ball. I bought it and it arrived today. It has his name and HOF 92 on the sweetspot with three stats on the top panel and three stats on the bottom panel. It looks great displayed!
Louie, Louie!
I saw a posting on Facebook that stated Louie Varland was signing at the Maplewood Mall here in the Twin Cities. It was a free event. I got up to go and Amy asked what I was doing and told her and she wanted to come along so we headed out. I got a baseball signed and Amy got a 2023 Topps and a 2023 Topps Heritage card signed for me. Louie was awesome. He was so friendly and personable. He said he is already excited for next season! It was a very pleasurable experience for us!
Eddie!
FanHQ is a memorabilia/sports apparel shop here in the Twin Cities. They recently had Edouard Julien in for an autograph signing event. Since it is on the other side of the Twin Cities and kind of a long drive, especially with rush hour traffic, for me, I sent in my items to be signed and they did not disappoint! I sent in a baseball as well as a pair of debut tickets. The tickets were signed perfectly with MLB Debut in silver paint pen and the baseball signed perfectly in blue ink on the sweetspot. Shaun and his crew always do a great job on their signings!
