Randy Johnson and Roberto Alomar made an appearance at the March Magic show, hosted by MAB Celebrity Services, in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. As I mentioned on my 01/26/13 blog post, I started collecting World Series and All-Star game MVP autographs on each year's Rawlings baseball. These two guys are a must have for my collection. Randy Johnson was the 2001 World Series MVP and Roberto Alomar was the 1998 All-Star MVP.
Randy Johnson was the first to arrive. He is a giant! At 6'10 with a fastball that clocked 100+ mph, he was one of the most dominant pitchers in the game. He's a World Series champion, 10x All-Star, 5x CY Young winner (best pitcher in league), and a first ballot Hall of Famer, once he's eligible in 2015.
He was so intimidating that when I approached him I forgot to take a picture of him signing my baseball. A man of few words, but a good guy. Randy signed my 2001 Official Rawlings World Series game baseball and inscribed it with 01 WS MVP.
My countryman, Roberto Alomar of Puerto Rico, arrived with a couple of his boys. He's considered to be one of the best second baseman in the history of the game. Roberto was a 12x All-Star, 10x Gold Glove, 2x World Series Champion, and 2007 MLB Hall of Fame inductee.
Roberto wasn't as intimidating as Randy, so I remembered to take a picture of him signing my baseball. He signed my 1998 Official Rawlings All-Star game baseball and inscribed it with 1998 A.S. MVP.
It was a pleasure meeting Randy and Roberto. MAB Celebrity Services always brings the best to New Jersey. Can't wait for the next event.
