A neat TTM auto with a longwinded story, too!

Hi all,

I have been a fan of Jim Fregosi for about 35 years now. Back in 1979 I met Jim when my mom took me to a public appearance at Anaheim Patio and Fireside. At that time, I was a couple months shy of 12 years old and was absolutely thrilled to meet him. He had just become the new manager of the Angels.

I got my picture taken with him and he signed a baseball for me. The autograph on the baseball has faded to almost nothing, now, but I still have the ball.

I decided to write a note to Jim and ask him to sign a copy of the original photo for me.

The other day he was at FanFest in Anaheim, only 15 minutes from my home, but I didn't know about it until it was too late. Huge bummer!

Felt better today when I opened the mail to find this for me!

Wow, what a great memory! I hope that someday I can give my kids the chance to create memories like the one your Mom was able to give you.

Thanks, guys.

It is weird that I can remember virtually every detail about that day 31 years ago, but often forget my PIN number at the bank... :benson:

Cool story and auto.

Have you thought about sending the ball to get a new auto?
