I will be on hand on Friday evening and again on Saturday afternoon. In addition to the Saturday signing, I will be presenting the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum with a uniform from the book for addition to the permanent collection.

Boomer and Justin,

Thanks for the comments. Folks really seem to enjoy the book, and for a surprising number of different reasons. I have done some radio interviews this past week (NY, Seattle, and Milwaukee) and each has highlighted something that was found uniquely enjoyable by the host and the persons they have shared it with.

Wonderful time signing books at Redfest, but the highlight had to be when a kid (maybe nine or ten) asked me to sign a ball for him. I said, "gladly but are you sure?" He replied "yes please." I did and handed him the ball back and he said thank you and I told him he was very welcome. As I was walking away I heard him say to his dad, "who'd I get?" The dad replied, "not sure, but I think he was the bull pen catcher on the 1990 team."

I just up picking up my copy of Game Worn Baseball Treasures yesterday.
Kudos to net54's Dave Grob and Stephen Wong.
After flipping through it, I can honestly say that it's awe inspiring.
If you haven't done so already, do yourself a favor and add this one to your baseball permanent library.
