Todd Gurley admits autograph fiasco was a ‘dumb mistake’

The Harmon Killebrew Autograph School Is Desperately Needed

It’s one of those novelty stories that have been run into the ground and into the core of the Earth, but the story of Harmon Killebrew’s autograph always sticks with me. You can read Harmon Killebrew’s autograph as if it was in huge lettering the size of a billboard. The only way you couldn’t read it was if you were blind and even then I’m not so sure that Harmon wouldn’t try to get it in brail for you.

This guy is so, so happy to get Buck Showalter’s autograph

The job of a baseball manager is a largely unglamorous one. You sit in a dusty dugout every day. You don’t really make the major decisions–there are no plays to call in baseball. No one ever calls the manager a “genius,” like you’d hear about Bill Belichick or Pat Riley. The job practically requires that you chew tobacco. And, as Brad Pitt showed us all in Moneyball, if the GM says you don’t matter, you really don’t matter.

60 seasons later, Luther lands autograph from favorite player

Michael Jordan misspelled the President’s name on an autograph

There’s also a napkin signed by JFK, a letter from the newly elected Abraham Lincoln to the Chicago mayor’s son, and a signed poster of Michael Jordan. “When the president turned 50, I wanted to get him something special … so I sent it to Jordan to have him sign it for me.” In black Sharpie, Jordan scrawled, “To Barrack: you still owe me dinner. Wishing you well, Michael Jordan.”

“I gave it to the president, and he said, ‘I can’t put this up, he misspelled my name!’ So I said, ‘Fine, I’ll take it.'”
