If you’re an avid sports fan and baseball enthusiast in particular, you may have fun trying to secure a large portion of your baseball collectibles yourself instead of buying them. If autographed baseballs appeal to you, then you have the chance to try to get your favorite team member to sign off on it if you get to the game early when the players are warming up.
There’s no guarantee he’ll sign it, which can be a bit of a disappointment when you can just picture the keepsake sitting among the rest of your baseball collectibles. You might try to find sports card shows where many current and living ex-players go to sign autographs for the masses. Some fans even write letters to their favorite teams, begging for an autographed ball or card, even phoning in their requests just to make sure they get heard.
If you’re obtaining baseball collectibles as an investment, then you’ll want to try to get autographs from the top players on the team. If you mail a baseball in care of the team and address it to a particular player, you’re more likely to get your request met than if you simply asked them to mail you a baseball of their own.
Some baseball players will sign a baseball or other keepsake with their autograph only if you pay them a fee to do so. You have to decide if this is a worthy investment depending on which memorabilia you feel is going to be a valued addition to your baseball collectibles.
If you want an autograph, don’t just send the memorabilia, but everything they’ll need to get the item returned to you. Send a Bic ballpoint pen with the item. You want to make everything as easy as possible so your request is answered with a positive response.
If you want the item back to shelve with your other baseball collectibles, then it’s a wise idea to include postage with your request. Even better is to have a return envelop with postage already applied and your return mailing address neatly written so that it doesn’t get lost and wind up in someone else’s memorabilia.
Players know that their autograph is valuable – whether it’s as a monetary investment or because you’re a fan of the game. So if you’re asking them to add to your baseball collectibles, make sure you add a compliment and thank them ahead of time.
To send off for your personalized baseball keepsakes, get the players’ addresses from The Baseball Collector’s Handbook, which has many tips on mailing off for your own baseball collectibles. Even though many will accommodate your request, some players won’t respond, so for those, you’ll need to seek out the memorabilia you want and purchase it from a reputable online dealer.

Help answer the question about Baseball
How and where should baseball cards be sold?My dad recently bought a baseball collection from an estate sale. The stuff had never been sorted through, and after doing so, we found some amazing stuff (signed baseballs, augtograhed posters cards, sheets of uncirculated cards). He asked me to try and help sell some of it for him, but the sheer volume that we have is making it ridiculously hard (we had to rent a storage unit to hold his stuff!).
I know a lot of things that we have aren't necessarily valuable. There are cards that we have a thousand of that may not be worth the box that they are in. I did a little research and found a pricing guide at beckett. But unless someone is looking for the card, it's not necessarily as valuable as they say it might be.
Other than ebay/yahoo auctions, is there a place to list the cards/other items we have to sell? Is it better to sell it to a store rather than list each of the cards separately? Or, if selling online, should I try to keep these in sets?

Yes. There have been a few "switch pitchers"
Greg Harris did Sept 28, 1995. He was the last guy to do this in the MLB.
I also remember hearing a story of a minor league pitcher who did this in a game.. against a switch hitter, and the two switched back and forth many times until the umpire had to intervene.
read the bottom of this page for a brief mention of the story:

All broadcasters have endless information in front of them and constantly given to them during the game. So they know what pitches a pitcher throws, as well their tendencies they have to throw certain pitches in certain situations. They know between what speeds their fastball is thrown as well as the rest of a pitcher's pitches. So then by looking at the speed of the pitch, and its movement, they can deduce what pitch was just thrown. Its not quite as easy as looking at what sign the catcher is putting down, since that camera angle isn't usually the one being shown when the signs are flashed.
don't let the easy one get away……. Barry Bonds
I would say that 60 is a reasonable guess, but it might be a little lower than that. I used to play as a kid but i don't play much anymore and I was clocked in the low 60's last summer at a fan day thing. Of the 4 people I knew that were clocked i think the highest ws 67 with average being a little under 60.
the same as we do
Well, these days with all of exercise and weight training they do, many baseball players are strong and big ( taking away the notion that most baseball players aren't athletes ) since most baseball players are athletes anyway. They actually cut their hair to military style because having a full head of hair slows down a player some what. For a "cop attitude" baseball players are the only pro athletes who are allowed to police themselves whenever a fight happens and leave the dugout.
I want to add to Kyle's response. The answer is B. If uniforms are sold to fans, then they are final goods and will be included in GDP. However, since professional baseball players use uniforms as an input in supplying a match to spectators, then the cost of these uniforms is already included in ticket prices and will not be included in GDP.
lmao!!!! thats aint no side effect thats from satan!!!
That’s still a bad thing regardless.
ive watched this a shitload of times and its always funny like the 1rst time saw it
