A friend approached me recently and said he had something to give me. I was not expecting to be handed an aging napkin in a ziplock bag, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Bill Mazeroski's ballpoint pen signature on the stained napkin!
The story goes that many years before his induction into Cooperstown in 1976 (just a few years after he finished his playing career!), Maz had visited my friend's high school. Not having any baseball-related items on hand, he grabbed a napkin and got the Pirate second basemen to sign this memento.
I'm really happy to add this one to my collection - especially with this unique story!
