    We did... Thanks. He's a good guy. I still have his college yearbook. Maybe that one will be just a plain HOF signature. Go Sox

    I like the inscription idea and support any addition to ones collection that makes them smile. With respect to the above-poster's opinion, I think tha Frank's yearbook is prob in some abundance and is hardly destined for the smitsonian.

    His high school yearbook is a tough find because he came from a very small school and I'm sure he is the most famous student, so they probably keep their yearbooks for that reason. Mine belonged to a office staff member.. Still has her name in the book. It's cool I think. Yep.. Won't make it into any museum.. Just cool and unique if your a Frank fan.

    Glad you liked the suggestion; I think it came out great and it was very cool that Frank got a chuckle out of that inscription.

    It isn't like this is his high school jersey or anything and I think the shared memory behind it would add to your personal Frank Thomas collection overall.

    When it comes to signing just about anything in this hobby you will get folks on both sides of the fence. I think it looks awesome, stasman!
