I have "connections" to 2 former major league baseball players. One is Mike Kingery, who grew up about an hour (I think) away from where I am. This is also where my grandpa grew up as a kid. When he was an adult, he and his wife (my grandma) owned a small cafe, where Mike would come in from time to time and buy food and chat with my grandparents. I am sure they also knew his parents as it is a very very small town.
I have met him a couple times, and he is a great guy to talk to. The first time I met him, I was only like 8, and he was at TwinsFest, and I walked up to him and asked if he remembered my grandparents ::facepalm:: He said he did, which is cool.
It isn't much but being that we only have had 2 (that I know of) people here to make the major leagues, it is a big deal for me...
Well anyway, I pick his cards up when I get a chance too, and I would like to obtain one of each (not signed, which is hard to do) and I was just goin through ebay and noticed that he has his own certified autograph.

I really like the 1996 Leaf Signatures set, and pick up the cheapos from time to time.
