Re: WHO WAS YOUR FIRST AUTOGRAPH?:
I got Bob Stanley and Ellis Burks on the same night - and the next day it was Jody Reed and Carlton Fisk (though Fisk was not with us at the time). My friend and I went to spring training a few years back...a few, few years back... a few few few years back....cough... We'd go to the games during the day and hang out at the hotel bar at night waiting for a few of the players to show up. Wow. I totally sound like a Baseball Annie. I'm just not even going to change that so you guys will think I'm cute.

Cannot remember, but in general I was gleaning over one of my prized autographed ball from a Sports Dinner in Boston and the first name I saw was Dick Williams. Also on the ball was Clemens, Eck, Lee Smith, Glavine, Rico

Jim Frey - 1970 -at the time he was bullpen coach of the Orioles. I was sitting out near the visitors bullpen at the time. He was signing autographs -balls, programs, anything. Jim Palmer was standing right next to him, refusing to give out autographs. Lost Frey's autograph, but he went on to have a decent career as a coach and manager.

Dick Williams -- December of 1967. My mom was on the same bowling team as his wife Norma. He came to the alley to pick her up. I gave him a napkin to sign. I still have it.

In Response to Re: WHO WAS YOUR FIRST AUTOGRAPH? : This is all good stuff. Reading it all, I was oddly reminded of being REFUSED an autograph, outside Fenway Park in '70, I think it was , by Jerry Kenney of the Yanks. "No, man, I gotta catch a bus." he said.

I don't ask for aoutographs. I just thank them for the memories. There are few current players I would ever ask for their autograph. The only one I would probably ask for an autograph would be Derek Jeter. He has been a class act his whole career.
Others are all retired Yaz, Mays, and a few other older guys.

I went to my first game in 1959 with my grandfather. We sat several rows behind the Sox dugout along 1st base. My grandfather saw Johnny Pesky in front of the dugout and gave me a program and told me to run down and get his autograph. By the time I reached the bottom of the steps, Pesky had gone inside to the locker room. Curt Gowdy was near the dugout and saw me. He asked if I was trying to get Pesky's autograph and I told him I was. He took the program and went into the dugout after telling me to wait. A few minutes later he emerged with Pesky's autograph and gave it to me. That was my first game and my first autograph. It is also the reason I believe that Curt Gowdy was the finest announcer who ever lived.

Steve Grogan, 1977 I was in Junior hs and they toured around playing basketball games for charity. They stopped and played a game with our schools teachers. I played basketball for our school so I got to shake hands with a couple but I only got the one autograph.
