I had my dad sign a ball back in the 90's. He passed in 2010 and my nephew (his grandson) is the only grandson in the family so I gave it to him for Christmas one year and told him to get his dad to sign it also.

I also remember a guy I worked with had a couple softballs that he would have someone who was retiring sign. He had quite a few signatures (took up two balls)

A moving and powerful thread. This is what I would classify as "the best of the Internet."

Thoughts and prayers for all the family members who are fighting health issues.

What a great story and I pray your father gets better and walks out soon and comes home. I never thought of doing this when my father was alive but then I wasn't into collecting back then. I am doing a similar thing with my grandkids. I have a baseball that I have had each of them sign. I need the 4 year old to get old enough to sign and then I will have all of them. I would like to be around another 7 years or so and have my two great grand children be able to sign it as well

Echo everyone sentiments. I don't have a signed ball of my dad but I have a couple of old cards that he sent me someplace. He had a very unique signature and I may do a cut and try to print off an old photo I have on my phone just to have a framed item.

God bless all our father Both living and deceased. ❤️
