Brent,

I remember the name, because it so unique....he had some issues with failed tests, right?

Pitcher if I remember correctly?

Probably remember the quietly infamous headline "Guardado traded for a Hamburher" lol. Yessir, when he was with the Pads or 'Stros I believe. And yes, a pitcher.

Met Mark Hamburger last year when Rochester was in town playing a series against the local AAA team. Easily one of the nicest players I've met in the last several years.

My best January pick up. My first son Anthony born on January 15th, and his first autograph. The ball with the foot print has already been sent to PSA for authentication : )

I hope that he ends up loving this hobby like me, but I guess he is off to a good start.

Simply awesome, Giovanni! That Ruth signed 3 x 5 is pretty sweet too...

Congrats on the birth of your son Giovanni!! Also love the footprint on the ball idea and that is a really nice Ruth.

Congrats on the Babe Ruth auto and new addition. Love the idea of the footprint Giovanni. You're a good dad.

Glad I didn't have to follow that pickup!!! What a blessing! Congrats my friend. I am so going to steal the footprint on a ball idea, that's brilliant. That'll go perfectly with my signed ball from my girlfriend when we have kids at some point.

Bet that "signed" ball is the most valuable piece in your collection. Congrats!

good idea sending it to PSA...i think their ball cube is UV-protected so the footprint won't fade over time.
