What's your most prized autograph and why?

Great topic with awesome responses. I've enjoyed reading each and every one of them, thanks for sharing.

This was a tough one for me, because I have several "favorite" autographs for different reasons. But this one has a special place in my collection just because he took the time to write me back.

Back in '03 some friends and I were talking Red Sox during our morning break. One of the guys asked me if I knew why they called it the "Pesky Pole", which I had no idea. I figured who better to ask than the man himself, Mr. Johnny Pesky. I NEVER thought he would write me back, but I had to at least try.

When I got a reply back, I was pretty excited. The Pesky Pole is such a big part of Fenway and to have the story behind it told to me from Mr. Pesky himself, well, that's pretty special to me.
