In 1996, I was a bat boy for the Clearwater Phillies. I traveled with the team to Al Lang Stadium to play the St. Petersburg Cardinals, both Class A teams in the Florida State League. I bought this 8x10 picture prior to the game with the intention of getting it signed the following Spring. During Spring Training of 1997, I was able to get Mr. La Russa to sign it at Dunedin Stadium, when the St. Louis Cardinals came to play the Toronto Blue Jays. Tony was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.
