Earl Averill (1902 - 1983)



I recently purchased another autograph from eBay - this one from legendary centerfielder, Earl Averill. Averill played for three teams, and was a six-time All Star. His number has been retired by the Cleveland organization. Averill passed away back in 1983, when I was only 1 year old. I'm happy to add another to my collection.

Fred McGriff



I recently purchased another autograph from eBay - this one from the newly inducted Fred McGriff! McGriff is one of the earliest players in my fandom memory as a Toronto Blue Jay from the late 80s.

McGriff will be inducted this summer into the Hall of Fame, elected by the newly formed Contemporary Baseball Era Committee

This is a fun one for me, as someone who grew up in Canada, to add one of the growing list of Hall of Fame Blue Jays to my collection.
