December 31, 201411 yr Are we really worried about what his autograph looks like? If he hits .275 with 30 Hr's every year I wouldn't care if he used a stamp.
December 31, 201411 yr I was trying to recall whether it was Harmon or Jim Thome that made it a point to make sure that the signature was very legible. I watched Thome take a great deal of time to sign a ball for us at a breakfast benefit one morning. He just had to make it right.
December 31, 201411 yr Are we really worried about what his autograph looks like? If you are a fan or a collector then it would be a good idea to be able to tell who's autograph is who's.
December 31, 201411 yr Yup. I haven't been able to find a single other autograph of Sano's that looks like the one I got with the help of Tommy Watkins at ST three years ago. Kinda frustrating actually, especially if one is a collector!
January 1, 201511 yr The only thing being compared here is signatures. Fun article. Fun. Lighten up, guys. Happy New Year.
January 1, 201511 yr I agree Jeremy, this is irritating. One of my prized possessions is a Torii Hunter autographed baseball card from when he first came up and his name is perfectly spelled out. Sometimes I forget to write down who signed something and then it's useless to me because I can't remember who it is! Any baseball player who takes the time to spell his name legibly so that it's a great keepsake for that fan definitely gets his gold star in my book.
January 4, 201511 yr An article I've been waiting all off-season to write: (Insert Twins player/prospect name) aint Harmon. fin. More than anything, I think this post just makes me wish that I would have gotten a chance to see Harmon play at the Met. My dad was lucky enough to catch a game or two there when he was a wee lad. Pretty neat.
January 7, 201511 yr Someone mentioned Cuddyer's nice signature earlier and it reminded me of this Killebrew-inspired story that he started signing that way because of a Killebrew scolding:http://minnesota.sbnation.com/minnesota-twins/2011/5/17/2176192/michael-cuddyer-reminisces-about-harmon-killebrew I also learned in a different article about the signature story that Cuddyer wore #3 with the Rockies to honor Harmon. Neat. As a third, semi-related point... I've always man-crushed on that Cuddy-Buddy Mikey Baseball.
