I live in the Tampa area. It's tough for a celebrity, particularly someone like Jeter, to just stop and sign. It has to be calculating on his part, he has to adhere to some kind of personal schedule. If he just came up and started signing, he'd be mobbed. And at some point he would have to cut...

The chances of this card appearing in a box might be slim, but I've always enjoyed watching Koufax pitch. Saw him do it as a kid and he was unbeatable. Can only imagine what would have happened if he had pitched beyond age 30...
