Hulk Hogan

 My son and I met Hulk Hogan at his restaurant, Hogan's Hangout on Clearwater Beach, Monday February 7, 2022. He was hosting Karaoke night along with his guest of honor, Wrestling legend and fellow WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. The Hulkster was kind enough to pose for a picture with my son as well as sign an 8x10 picture for each of us!  

Ric Flair

My son and I were lucky enough to meet wrestling legend and 3-time Hall of Fame inductee and 16 times World Champ, Nature Boy Ric Flair at Hogan's Hangout, a restaurant owned by Hulk Hogan on Clearwater Beach, Monday February 7, 2022. Ric was there as a guest during karaoke night. Ric signed an 8x10 photo each for my son and I and posed for a picture as well. Very excited to have had this opportunity! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  

Pat Mahomes

 Pat Mahomes signed this 1993 Upper Deck baseball card for me while participating in a celebrity golf tournament at TBC Tampa Bay in Lutz on Friday, January 21, 2022. Pat also signed a card for my 10 year old son. My son mentioned to him that he was a big fan of Pat's son, Patrick Mahomes. I added some of my humor to the mix by telling Pat, "I'm a Mets fan. I'm not sure who your son is." Pat laughed at my comment as his son is one of the best and most popular players in the NFL. I'm very grateful to add Pat Mahomes Sr. into my autograph collection!

Marquis Grissom

 I met Marquis Grissom on Friday, January 21, 2022 for my first autograph of the year! Marquis was participating in a golf tournament at TPC, Tampa Bay in Lutz. Marquis signed a 1991 Upper Deck baseball card for me moments after I arrived. He was very friendly and gave my 10 year old son advice on how to be a successful ball player... It all starts by doing well in school! Probably good advice!

Tracy McGrady

 Tracy McGrady was hosting a Buccaneers pre-game meet and greet at his restaurant, HomeCourt By Tracy McGrady in Lakeland, Florida on Sunday, October 24, 2021 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears game. Tracy signed an 8x10 picture for me as well as my son and even posed for a picture with my son! Tracy was inducted into the NBA's Hall of Fame in 2017.

Benito Santiago

 I met Benito Santiago in April, 1995 at Jack Russell Memorial Stadium, when the Cincinnati Reds came to play the Philadelphia Phillies during Spring Training. I was the visiting team bat boy that day and was having quite a day getting autographs from the clubhouse! Benito was one of the last ones I got that day, prior to the game. I was looking for him but didn't recognize him because the Reds had a no facial hair rule. When he walked past me, I turned and saw his name and number on the back of his jersey and then I approached him. Benito signed an 8x10 picture. Benito Santiago won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 1987 and in my opinion, is one of the best defensive catchers I've ever seen!

Gregg Olson

Gregg Olson signed this Barry Colla Photography 8x10 picture for me outside of the visiting team locker room during Spring Training at Jack Russell Memorial Stadium when the Baltimore Orioles came to play the Philadelphia Phillies in the early 1990's. Gregg was the 1989 American League Rookie of the Year winner.
