Tim Raines & Scott Brosius (01/26/13)

I recently started a collection of Official Rawlings World Series and All-Star game baseballs. My goal is to obtain the autographs of each year's Most Valuable Player(s). Rawlings started to produce MLB World Series baseballs in 1978 and All-Star Game baseballs in 1979. This means, I'm going to need a lot of luck to complete this collection.

Tim Raines, Montreal Expos 1987 All-Star MVP, and Scott Brosius, New York Yankees 1998 World Series MVP, were in town. They were signing at the Pinstripe Glory Day baseball autograph event from MAB Celebrity Services in Secaucus, NJ. This was a big event with a lot of New York Yankees greats.

Tim Raines was there early in the morning and very cool with all his fans. He took his time speaking with everyone and even took pictures.

Please don't laugh at me! I literally woke up 25 minutes before this picture was taken. I was lucky I made it on time. Haha

Tim signed my 1987 Official Rawlings All-Star game baseball and inscribed it with 1987 AS MVP.

Scott Brosius arrived later in the afternoon and there was HUGE line for him. It was his first ever public appearance in this area. He was also good with his fans and took pictures as well.

Not a great photo, but I can't complain since I asked a stranger to take it for me.

Scott signed my 1998 Official Rawlings World Series game baseball and inscribed it with 1998 WS MVP.

Overall, it was a good signing day thanks to MAB Celebrity Services for hosting a great event.
