Default My new autograph collecting focus

So after a lot of purchasing this-n-that-n-the other thing, I've decided to truly pursue one focused lot of autographs. And I don't think I could've picked a more difficult lot to go for!

I've decided to try and obtain the signature of every person who spoke at the 1939 Inaugural Hall of Fame Induction. I'm sure most of you have heard the audio recording of it. It's simply wonderful, with short speeches made by many of the people who made our game great. It's something I listen to probably once a week in my car, in my opinion it's the best 30 minutes of baseball audio ever.

Now, for the autos... Again, I couldn't have picked a more popular lot to collect but this will be a long term collecting goal, not one to be completed this year. Plus, it will encompass most of baseballs greats only leaving Lou Gehrig, Christy Mathewson, and Willy Keeler as those missing from that era. Here are the signatures I would need. If any of this is in error, please feel free to correct me.

Charles Doyle (sportswriter, master of ceremonies)
Rowan Spraker (Mayor of Cooperstown, this one will be hard)
John A Heydler
Kennesaw M Landis
Ford Frick
William Harridge
William Bramham (also likely difficult)
Connie Mack
Ty Cobb*
Honus Wagner
Tris Speaker
Napoleon Lajoie
Cy Young
Walter Johnson
George Sisler
Eddie Collins
Grover Cleveland Alexander
Babe Ruth
Mel Allen*
Tom Manning (NBC commentator)

* = Ty Cobb was late arriving so he didn't actually speak during the ceremony. However, he was interviewed later in the broadcast by Mel Allen.

Thoughts on this endeavor?
