Having the chance to meet my favorite baseball player was an amazing experience for me. Being able to talk to him in a social setting that was not rushed allowed our conversation to linger over several topics. After I got my picture taken with ‘The Hawk’ I asked Andre if it would be OK if I sent it to him for his autograph. He said that was fine so here I go.
This package will be shipped to Andre tomorrow.
Along with the photo, I am including a few more cards and a donation to his foundation. He does a lot of great charity work in South Florida and I am happy to offer a donation to see that this work continues.
I am on a new quest for 2009 and that is to build ‘The Ultimate Andre Dawson Collection’. Of course this could mean several things to several people, but my collection has more of a personal meaning. I don’t have deep pockets and cannot win everything I desire on Ebay so I have to be selective. The cards I am sending are a starting point for me and if all goes well this will be the beginning of this special collection.
I’ll be sure to share the results with you as soon as they arrive back home to me safely.
Wish me luck!!!
