Hanging Out With All-Star Cliff Floyd!!!
Cliff Floyd, former NL All-Star and member of the 1997 World Series champion Florida Marlins, hosts a radio show on one of the local sports radio channels. And today they were doing a meet and great just 20 minutes from my house. I had to go since this was their first time coming North to Broward.
So, since my wife and I already had plans with our kids in the area, we made a quick detour so I could meet Cliff and grab a couple of autographs in the process to.
First, I had him sign the Marlins helmet I have been working on for almost two years.
Cliff’s signature on the helmet brings this baby up to 32 autographs now!!!
When I found out about the signing, I tore through my cards and couldn’t find a single card of Cliff. So on the way we detoured so I could run into the only card shop in the area. The owner of the shop had a 5,000-ct. box full of Marlins. But with limited time, I only rescued 5 cards of Floyd. And they were all the same issue…
Still, Cliff had no problem signing them, and when he obliged I offered one to him to keep – and he said he would give it to his son.
Here are the cards:
All in all, it was a pretty quick and easy event, and I got to see my son high-five a World Series champion!!!
Good times!!!
Lookin’ good homie!! Good times!!
Just the other day I saw one of his cards and was wondering what Cliff Floyd was up to. Cool.
moe.
That’s awesome! Gotta love free autographs. The helmet is fantanstic! It’s funny because I just picked up a Cliff Floyd RC yesterday. It’s a 1992 Bowman card of him dunking a baseball.
Cliff Floyd is an awesome monster of a man! Congrats Brian… Id say this ‘personal signing’ is one to remember always.
