With the baseball season officially over it is now time to start the planning for the 2013 autograph season. Autographers can either approach each season with a wait and see attitude or they can get down to business and find ways to maximize all of their opportunities for obtaining autographs. This post will hopefully help…
Just about a month ago I was so excited to have reached 30,000 views on my blog, and today I reach another milestone that is exciting for me. This is the 100th post on this blog. Baseball has always been a passion of mine and being given the opportunity to share something I love with…
