I didn't get to meet Larsen, but the goody bag from the event contained the following signed ball, amongst other things. It's really a great keepsake and one that I'll always treasure.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Signed baseball #2: Don Larsen
My second signed baseball is one of the coolest pieces of Yankees memorabilia that I own. Back in 2006, I had the fortunate chance of attending a charity event honoring the 50th anniversary of Don Larsen's perfect game. There were a ton of past Yankees there I got to meet - Yogi Berra, David Cone, Graig Nettles (who was a jerk), Goose Gossage, Joe Girardi and Jim Leyritz to name a few. It was awesome.

ReplyDeleteBummer hearing that Nettles was a jerk. He was a player I followed when I was younger.
