Now all you need is Griffey, Jr. and you'll have the 2 greatest left-handed CFers born on November 11 in Donora, PA of all-time!

| I'm still holding out for a Ty Cobb autograph...or more realistically a Sparky Anderson and/or Lou Whitaker 8X10. I haven't found any to my liking so far.

| I'd also like a Steve Yzerman and Barry Sanders 8X10. I want a Verlander autograph but not on an 8X10...he isn't worthy of an 8X10 on my wall (yet) as that's reserved for the greatest of the great. I went ahead and bought a Mickey Lolich 8X10 a while back and that's pushing it.
Lolich is pretty much what I go by - anyone better than him is eligible, anyone worse is not.
With that said, I have no problem with autographs of people worse than Lolich, they just can't be photos. The bar for non-photo autographs is pretty low. I mean, I have Nook Logan, Jordan Tata, and Fernando Rodney's autographs!

I hope so! My wall has plenty more room. Heck, my pictures aren't even touching! They have space between them!

What? Should I get more? Worthy candidates who I don't have yet:
- Ty Cobb
- Sam Crawford
- Hughie Jennings
- Harry Heilmann
- Sparky Anderson
- Lou Whitaker
- Mickey Cochrane
- Hank Greenbeg
- Lem Barney (although I do have his autograph elsewhere)
- Lou Creekmur (although I do have his autograph elsewhere)
- Jack Christiansen
- Dutch Clark
- Dick "Night Train" Lane
- Yale Lary (although I have his autograph elsewhere...numerous times)
- Bobby Layne (only Ty Cobb's autograph is more desired by me than this one)
- Barry Sanders
- Charlie Sanders
- Joe Schmidt (although I do have his autograph elsewhere)
- Doak Walker
- Alex Wojciechowicz
- Jason Hanson (maybe he's deserving, this is a close call...when he's done he'll probably qualify)
- Sid Abel
- Alex Delvecchio
- Gordie Howe (although I do have a 16X20 on my wall...I can't decide if I want to downgrade or not...he's my third favorite athlete behind Cobb and Layne)
- Syd Howe (not related to Gordie)
- Ted Lindsay
- Terry Sawchuck
- Steve Yzerman
- Jack Adams
- Scotty Bowman
- Joe Dumars (maybe...do I care that much about the Pistons?)
- Isiah Thomas (maybe...do I care that much about the Pistons?)
- Bill Laimbeer (maybe...do I care that much about the Pistons?)
The jury is still out on 4+ people with special credentials:
- Gerald Ford (played for UM)
- Mike Illich (he's in the hockey HOF...if he gets into Cooperstown he will be eligible, if he doesn't the jury will remain out)
- All UM Heisman Trophy Winners (would HAVE to be in UM uniforms)
- Tom Brady (again, would require a UM uniform...breaking the passing TD record this season would help his cause).
That's all I can think of at the moment. Thoughts?
Here is who I DO have:
- Ernie Harwell
- Alan Trammell
- Al Kaline
- Geroge Kell
- Hal Newhouser
- Jim Bunning
- Charlie Gehringer
- Gordie Howe (it's a 16X20)
- Mickey Lolich
Here's 3 candidates, that while not yet eligible, are on the right track:
- Justin Verlander
- Curtis Granderson
- Nicklas Lidstrom (he's pretty close right now, the others aren't even close)

| That's a pretty good list. My dad starting to hang up pitchers in the basement. I'm too lazy to go see who he has. I knew, just forgot. I have a couple (Weaver and Ripkin Jr.). Don't really know why I bought a Ripkin one though...

He hangs pitchers on the wall? They don't mind? Go down and check when you're less lazy.....wait, is he an O's fan?

| Quite a list indeed! Too bad there's so many I'll never get! I've NEVER seen a Cobb, Crawford, Heilmann, Hughie Jennings, or a few other 8X10's at ANY price. I've never seen a Hughie Jennings autograph of any type for any price!

 Good thing I'm not an English major! No, I bought the Ripkin picture. I don't know why though...

| Thought so. I should clarify, I HAVE seen 8X10's of those guys, just never SIGNED 8X10s. My avatar picture can be bought as an 8X10 all day long.
