With Great Friends.

When I was a kid, my parents gave me two autographs from Mickey Mouse. I was convinced one of them was a forgery.

I know the above Pete Rose signature is for real. It was given to me by my friend Ted, who I’ve known since I was six. Last year, Ted had dinner with Pete, who I’ve always idolized, and had Pete call me. I almost jumped out of shoes.

Last night, Ted was in town so we had dinner. He held onto the baseball until he saw me in person because he’s such a good guy.

Have heroes. And even better friends.
