Major League (The Movie) Baseball
 
6 Attachment(s)
I thought some of you guys might enjoy seeing this. A few years ago, a friend went to a charity event where Tom Berenger was appearing and had him sign a baseball for me as a gift. Shortly after that, Wesley Snipes was doing a book signing at a Barnes and Nobles near me, so I figured I’d bring the baseball and give it a shot. To my surprise, he was more than happy to sign it. After that, I brought it to a show that Corbin Bersen was appearing at to add him too. I then found an address for Chelcie Ross and sent him a letter asking him to sign the ball, which he was more than happy to do. Finally, last weekend, Charlie Sheen signed the ball.

Pretty cool! Now I just need to track down Dennis Haysbert.

Love it - that's a favorite movie of mine, and probably a unique ball you've got!

Let me know if you are able to track down Haysbert - I've been seeking him out for a bit as well. I have a 'game' used uniform from Major League 2 that I'd love to get signed at some point.....

That is so cool, especially getting Chelcie Ross. I love the scene where he's showing Charlie Sheen all the illegal substances he uses on the ball, but this is my favorite scene.

Good luck on getting Haysbert.

As a huge Major League fan, I have to say this is awesome!

There's signed cards by Haysbert out there:

Such fun! These fictional sports stories are so integral to our fandom it is nice to see them translated into collecting. I'd love to do the same w/my favorite movie as a kid, The Bad News Bears, but I read that the guy who played Tanner Boyle wants nothing to do with it and won't sign anything. At least there are some licensed cards out there:

Another all-time favorite of mine is Slap Shot and there are actual cards for the Hanson Brothers from a later set, signed, so i had to get them:

GREAT STUFF!


I think I have issues though.

Reading this I can't help but think how cool it would be to take a Babe Ruth signed ball and have it signed by James Earl Jones and the guy that played Smalls in The Sandlot. :eek:

Great idea for a ball, I love it! My closest match is an 8x11 signed glossy
signed by the "Hansen Brothers" from Slap Shot. My dad and brother went
to a sports bar in Columbus, Ohio and didn't even know the guys were there
signing... I think they paid $10 because they knew I'd like the idea. It is
signed by the guys with the caption "Old time hockey":) Trent King
