Re: How many of you have met the athlete you collect?

hey sorry about the cleats. i should have gotten back sooner. I ended up putting all my funds toward a longoria bat. I ended meeting McGwire through a Steiner Meet and greet. costed alot of money. But you got 1 autograph and a chance to take a picture with him and be a part of Q & A with him. He remembered me from all the years of going to see him in NY etc. Here's my McGwire album. Check it out.

I have met maybe 150 MLB and NFL players, and shook hands with all of them, but my favorite for many years has been Jim Eisenreich. Took my family to meet him at HoF in 2004 where he gave a talk about Tourette's. I consider him to be an exemplary role model while on and off the field. He is the only one I collect and I treasure my collection of gw jerseys, bats and many other things I have been able to hoard. Jim pictured with my boys on 8/14/04.

I was an equipment room intern for the Falcons during training camp in 2007. The player that I was around the most was Allen Rossum. My main duty (since I was not going to be there through the end of camp due to me coming back to school) was just to make sure that his eyeshield was clean during practice. He is a very nice, down to earth guy.

At the end of camp, I was given his back-up road jersey from 2006. It was expendable because the team already got a new set of jerseys the week before in time for the first preseason game.

Here is a pic of me and Junior at RedsFest '07. He signed OML baseballs and handed them out to the first 200 people.

At a show in Lousiana in the late 80's the weather was terrible thunderstorms and no body showed up to get Stan Musial, or Enos Slaughter, I was 12 or 13 at the time and had the pleasure of sitting there for several hours listing to these guys talk about baseball and about the the things they had done and people they had played aganist. Those two gentelman defined class and should be an example for todays players to try to live up to

Have met several current and former Gators over the years with mostly positive results. Alex Brown was great with my son a few years ago after a summer workout in Gainesville (pic below). Former Gator receiver Chris Doering said he was "honored" to sign the jersey I brought to a Gator Club meeting a couple of months ago. Even told me to call him if I needed help getting the university to provide a nameplate for the back. Steve Spurrier is all business and most times doesn't even look up at you as he's signing your item.

I have a nice #77 Tennessee jersey of Josh Tucker, if you want to forever remember the 1999 game that made Alex Brown look like a legend.

*DAVE KINGMAN* 14 times in the past 16 years - mostly at shows where photos opportunities abound. Dave has been very friendly & gracious on most every occasion. Making a 5 hour trip into a 8 hour trip to Vanmeter Iowa in June was an stressful event to say the least, however if anyone has a chance to visit the Bob Feller museum, I recommend it. You still get a consistant autograph from Big Dave for around 20 bucks, unlike some others you can't read. ie: Mays, Thome, Thomas.
