February autograph pickups

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Chris Sale has an ugly autograph.

I was looking at some Joe DiMaggio items and ran across this.

I couldn't resist.

Wow. An autograph that you can actually read. The inscription thing has worked out for me as well. You can't go wrong with having John for a first name.

Here is one I bet nobody else has. Tiger great Denny Mclain had gastric bypass surgery and has lost over 100 pounds. He was signing at a local card show that had a charity auction afterwards. Denny signed and donated his fat clothes to the auction. This included a shirt, pants and underwear. I walked away with the pants, but got outbid on the true gem of the auction.

Haha. That's pretty cool.

Eric,
That's awesome!

Random thought: What the hell do you do with the Denny McLain underwear anyway?
There is no way you would ever display that bad boy, shizzstains and all...

To be honest, if you hadn't told me that that picture was Denny McLain, I never would have guessed. What a change in his appearance!

The last time I saw him was at a paid signing five years ago. Denny was sweating profusely just sitting there, and it wasn't even hot. I remember thinking at the time that his health was in such a bad place that he likely wouldn't live much longer. It's good that he has taken a positive step in turning his weight issue around.
I wonder if he still guzzles pop by the gallon?

I was bidding on the underwear to make them a gag gift for my father-in-law's birthday. I didn't ask him personally, but I read that he has stopped drinking pop.
