Babe Ruth's autograph! It proudly hangs on the wall of my office along with a photograph taken on a glass plate during his rookie year with the Red Sox. Next to it is a Life magazine from the 60's when Maris & Mantle were trying to break the Bambino's 60 home run mark. Both signed a 3 x 5 index card at a golf tournament, along with a few baseballs & some other stuff. I had the magazine framed & mounted the 2 autographs underneath. Those are some of my special pieces along with a picture I took of Ali while he was training in Miami for a world tour. I had that picture signed by the "Champ" & gave him 1 which Angelo Dundee told me is hanging on his wall at home. Believe it or not, I have a set of 3 underwear labels from shorts that Ruth endorsed in the 30's. I also had Jim Palmer sign a pair of Jockey shorts in the crotch area. When he signed the shorts he said that I must be some kind of sick puppy. HOW RIGHT HE WAS!
