Bobby Abreu

I spotted Bobby Abreu in the food court at Countryside Mall in Clearwater, FL one night in 2003. The mall was just about to close as he was buying ice cream at a Haagen-Dazs. While he was waiting for his order, I approached him (To see if he remembered me from when I worked as a bat boy a few years prior) Unfortunately, he didn't remember me. Without taking too much of his time, I told him I had a Phillies jersey in my car and asked if I could bring it in and have him sign it. The mall was practically empty, so I wasn't drawing any attention. He gave me his permission and signed it a few minutes later. I thanked him and was on my way.

Joe Morgan

In the mid 90's, I mailed this card to ESPN. Joe signed my 1984 Topps card. I still have not had the privilege to meet him. I am however very grateful to Mr. Morgan for taking the time to sign my card.

I met Michel Abreu on July 13, 2017 when the Dunedin Blue Jays came to Tampa to play the Tampa Yankees. Michel was a coach for Dunedin. There were several top prospects on that Blue Jays team, such as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. & Bo Bichette.
