Mailday – July 22

A pretty cool addition to my signed baseball collection arrived today. Let me preface this entry by noting that I don’t typically collect non-sports figures. Lots of people collect actors, musicians, etc., but for now, it’s mainly athletes in my collection. This signed ball, however, is an exception. Legendary actor James Earl Jones signed this ball for me in about two months, care of his production company. Jones, of course, has a baseball tie — he starred in the classic ball film Field of Dreams.

Needless to say, I’m pretty happy to add this ball to my collection.
