My Recent Successes!

Another amazing WWII return from 101 year old Louis Graziano, who was 3rd wave at Normandy, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and was present when the surrender was signed in 1945!

An awesome past week saw great successes from the last 2 living ***** Leagues players from the classic era (1920-1948), now recognized in official stats as part of MLB record keeping!

Rev. Bill Greason will turn 100 next month, and he signed this great photo. He played 1948-51 for the Birmingham Black Barons, and is also a WWII vet, serving on Iwo Jima with the Montford Point Marines!

Ron Teasley is the other living legend, playing for the NY Cubans in 1948, following service in the Pacific Theatre of operations during WWII. He also had a brief stint in the Brooklyn Dodgers farm system!

Got a fantastic return today from my favorite Illini basketball player, Roger Powell Jr. My friend gave me this magazine, and Rev signed with an orange paint pen, looks awesome!

He included 3 signed cards too, one for each of our kids!

We went to our alma mater a few weeks ago for the Homecoming game, the 100th Homecoming in Illinois Football history! We had a blast!

Tons of cool mementos, game programs, pins, and an amazing display in Memorial Stadium featuring Red Grange's jersey!

This is really awesome. How many to go?
@LarryG

Thanks so much my friend! I have 2 more who are reliable ttm signers, Buzz Schneider and Steve Janaszak. Those will be signatures #9 and #10. Then I will put up for sale, as I am using this item to help my sons raise funds for the kids cancer charity they support every year!

Cheers!

Kevin
