WHEN I TOOK THIS I DOUBT EBAY EXISTED AND I NEVER THOUGHT BACK THEN ABOUT GETTING LARGER PRINTS MADE OR SELLING THEM IN THE FUTURE.
AT AGE 76 IT'S TIME FOR ME TO START SELLING OFF MY COLLECTIONS.
++FOR A FEW YEARS BEGINNING IN THE 70'S AND 80'S, I WENT TO SPRING TRAINING WITH A LOCAL TV SPORTSCASTER FRIEND FROM THE ALBANY, NY AREA WHERE I THEN RESIDED. WITH HIM I HAD AN ON THE FIELD PRESS PASS ENABLING ME TO GET MANY PHOTOS AND AUTOGRAPHS.
++THE ALBANY, NY AREA WAS ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS FROM COOPERSTOWN. I WENT TO CARD SHOWS THERE, AND ALSO TO MANY HALL OF INDUCTION CEREMONIES WHERE I ALSO GOT SEVERAL PHOTOS AND AUTOGRAPHS.
++I STARTED GOING TO SPRING TRAINING IN THE 70'S.
++IN 1989 I MOVED TO PORT CHARLOTTE, FL. THEN THE HOME OF THE TEXAS RANGERS. I WAS ABLE TO GET MANY PHOTOS AND AUTOGRAPHS THERE AND IN OTHER NEARBY SPRING SITES.
++IN THE EARLY 90'S I BEGAN UMPIRING COLLEGE BALL, AND ALSO WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO UMPIRE SOME MAJOR LEAGUE SPRING "B" GAMES (EXTRA OR MAKE UP GAMES,) AAA SPRING GAMES, INTRASQUAD GAMES, FANTASY CAMP GAMES, MAJOR LEAGUE REHAB GAMES, AND I ALSO UMPIRED THE ENTIRE 1994 SPRING TRAINING SCHEDULE THAT STRIKE YEAR WHEN "REPLACEMENT PLAYERS" (AND UMPIRES) WERE USED. I GOT AN OCCASIONAL PHOTO AND AUTOGRAPH DURING THAT PERIOD. IT WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE FOR ME!
++ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF ONE OF MY PRESS PASSES, AN AL UMPIRE ID CARD, A PHOTO OF ME ON THE FIELD DURING SPRING, A PHOTO OF ME UMPING, AND A PHOTO OF ME AT A CARD SHOW (LONG AGO.) TED WILLIAMS AND MANY OTHERS WERE SIGNING AT THIS ONE.
I'LL BE LISTING MORE PHOTOS AND AUTOGRAPHED ITEMS.
