I've got some memorabilia, his rookie card and some autos, but none that are scanned. I do have this shot though...

It was taken about a year ago while I was in Chicago on business. He was eating dinner with a group a few tables from our group. I really didn't want to bother him, but felt like I had to at least shake his hand before leaving, so walked over as we were closing our tab. I introduced myself and he immediately starting asking about me, where I was from, what I did for a living, did I play ball. He then politely said "excuse me" to his group, walked over to our table and sat down for 15-20 minutes! The highlight was when he asked us "you know where it comes from?", then rolled his wrists over as if swinging a bat.. still very quick and smooth, and then said "you see that, you see that? That's where it comes from". It was awesome. Happy Birthday Mr Cub.
