Members MsGuy Posted March 6, 2012 Members Posted March 6, 2012 Absolutely, I'll be glad to accompany you and, coincidentally, by the end of May I anticipate having an extra $500 to put on the trip! Quote
Members Lucky Posted March 6, 2012 Author Members Posted March 6, 2012 We can make a group trip out of it! Let's see...$500 divided by 4..that's you, me, lookin, and Lurkerspeaks....equals...Burger King or In and Out...or maybe we could add another guy and go to Five Guys! Oz, you like burgers? Quote
Members Lucky Posted March 6, 2012 Author Members Posted March 6, 2012 I forgot part of the story. Former Oakland A's pitcher Rollie Fingers was at the stadium, selling his autograph. For $20, you got a cheap ball and his personal autograph, signed right in front of you. For $40, you got an official Major League baseball. Guess which one I picked? So, naturally, I checked Rollie's signature on the web, and it was the exact same, even the notation that he entered the Hall Of Fame in 1992: Not sure if Rollie felt it was a comedown selling his signature for $20 minus the cost of the ball, but I can't say that he seemed too happy. I think his career preceded the big bucks careers the kids have now. But, I am glad that I got it. Quote
