Meeting Johnny Antonelli next week

Zan · Dec 22, 2010

Taking a vacation out to New Mexico where my grandfather is good friends with Johnny Antonelli, a 6 time all star and a World Series champ in 1954 for the New York Giants. Can't wait to meet him, he personalized a baseball for my brother and I, and I want to hear some of the stories he has about the old game, etc. etc.

I will be posting again here in about a week to recap it!

Very cool! One of the forgotten stars from the 50's.

If you hapeen to get a signed 8x10, here's a little something I made for my own collection to spruce up the back. Simply trim off the black border and presto! Instant upgrade.

He had some incredible stories. Too many to type them all, but if someone had a request I could type it out as he said it.

I am also getting some vintage cards signed TTM. I'll post those when they come as well.
