100th Entry!

To mark my 100th entry in this blog, I’ve got a cool addition to my collection to share.

This week, I added another Hall of Famer to my collection. Here it is:

Doug Harvey, a former MLB umpire who was inducted to the Hall in July 2010, signed this ball for me, care of his home, in about two and a half months. Harvey, who’s now 80 years old, is regarded as one of the game’s best umpires. He worked the National League from 1962 to 1992, and was nicknamed “God” by players for his encyclopedic knowledge of the game’s rules. He umpired in five World Series, and was crew chief for two.

Harvey is the seventh current Hall of Famer I’ve added to my collection, and I’m glad to get this ball back.

Thanks for reading!
