Catch Ya Later!

Today I received a couple items signed by Charlie O’Brien.  Charlie is friends with my friend Robert T (lutherlafy on SCN) and when Charlie released a new book, Robert hooked me up with a signed copy and a really neat baseball.  The book is titled “The Cy Young Catcher”.  I did not realize this until the book came out but Charlie caught 13, yes THIRTEEN, pitchers who won the Cy Young Award!  That is pretty impressive!  Charlie signed the book “To Kevin, Catch ya later, Charlie O’Brien”.  The baseball he signed with his name and Cy Young Catcher on the sweetspot and around the whole baseball he listed all 13 pitchers.  They were:
Pete Vuckovich
David Cone
Frank Viola
Dwight Gooden
Bret Saberhagen
John Smoltz
Steve Bedrosian
Greg Maddux
Tom Glavine
Pat Hentgen
Roger Clemens
Chris Carpenter
Jack McDowell
Pretty impressive list!  The ball looks awesome!  Thanks Charlie and Robert!
