I thought I seen mention of this benefit card show somewhere else but cannot find it so here it is again. Detroittigerfan is setting up three tables there and I am going to have a table. Denny McLain with $5 autographs, can't beat that!!

I had been planning on attending when both McLain and Northrup were going to be there. With just McLain, I probably won't. Any word on if they might be adding more signers?

It would be nice to meet you guys in person if I do in fact make it.

It sounds like no one had been added, everyone Coach Ty has contacted has other commitments or is out of town. He is still looking though.

It has been marked on my calendar. Can't beat a $5 auto from McLain at all.

Ty does a great job of making the Lee High School Baseball fundraiser a great day for all involved. If nothing else, it's nice to get out and talk to fellow collector, baseball enthusiasts, and network with old friends and help out many of for former students, friends, and young baseball players in the process! Looking forward to seeing you there!

This is a great cause. I am donating some game used bats that I hope will draw a few more people to the auction. I'm not sure how many I am sending but it will include Ryan Strieby, Brennan Boesch and Carlos Guillen.
