BEST AUTO SIGNER?

I understand getting your favorite TIGERS auto, got much harder this season. My spies in Lakeland said it was a zoo there. Everyone one was pushing and shoving to get autos. And I`m sure most of them show up on E-Bay ,after. But as a TIGERS collector, I appreciate the athletes that take the time and sign. Especially for the kids.

Last Mother`s Day ,Me and my Son went to the Twin Cities to see our TIGERS. Got on ESPN twice!! We were in the second row on the first base side. Before the game some of our Tigers were signing for us fans. Maggs came up to us and I handed Him my Program and my Sharpie. He smiled and while he was signing it I said, Is there anything you would like me to sign for you? He looked up to see if I was somebody important and then we laughed and he handed back my program and Sharpie. There was 5 or 6 kids next to me hoping for an auto. None of them had a Sharpie. Maggs walked back to me and asked for my Sharpie. He signed every kid`s stuff until he signed everbody`s stuff. I figured, well there goes my Sharpie. He walked back to me noded and smiled and gave back my Sharpie!! What a Guy!! He` s one of my new Favorites!! Next To Fats Fothergill

Go TIGERS!!!!!

Maggs on the right of Kevin Rand. Can`t miss Him. Mothers Day 2007 in the Twin Cities. This photo was shot right after Kevin was shagging fly balls in Right with a Catchers mitt.
What a crappy place to see a Ball Game! But We were close. We were sitting right in front of the Owners old Box Seats.
Go TIGERS!
