FINALLY WORKED ON IT

             I got a message from a friend of mine at Sportscardforum.com  asking me when I was going to showcase pictures of the People Whom I Have Met as well show pictures of when I was at the Chantilly show when I first started my blog. Well I finally got most of the pictures up on there but here's the story of this man. 

          This is Pedro Sierra he played in the Negro Leagues. He had just returned from Alabama attending Willie Mays's funeral as well taking in the Negro Game that was played there in June.

                   He was very nice to talk to. He was amazed in my knowledge of what all I knew about the Negro Leagues, again who isn't amazed of what I know about baseball these days. I asked him how much he was charging to sign he said free with each purchase of any photo or ball he had on his table as long as I didn't plan to resell it on ebay. I reassured him I wasn't going to resell it instead give the extra autographs to a friend of mine who collects signatures of ex-ballplayers as well mainly that played in Negro Leagues & collecting cut signatures of players who played in the old Federal League (1913-1915). Pedro was honored that I wanted to get his signature & I then proceeded to tell him that he might be featured in my blog when I am not sure so I am hoping come April of next year when the Chantily shows rolls into to the Washington D.C. area again & Pedro is set up someone will show him this blog entry so he knows that I kept my word. 

              One thing I told Pedro while he was signing for me I mentioned a famous quote by Rogers Hornsby "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, he's a Communist" & his remark was "He's right" Thank again Mr. Sierra.
