Lets see your old Minor league autographs!

Well the reason why I ask is because I have a game used bat of his. I bought it because of his coaching resume. But come to find out, there were three Jim Dietz that played in the minors. I believe it to be the Jim Dietz that played from 1962-70 in the minors, and then started his coaching career. Anyyyyways, I found a site for you that you might find some interest in. Take care!
