My Favorite Autograph

I've been an autograph collector as long as I can remember I guess. I enjoy collecting cards, but autographs are more personal. It captures a moment in time or an encounter with the signer. Then there is the signature, some signed carefully, some scribbled and some just a mess of pen strokes. But with all autographs that you collect yourself, there is always a story. I was looking through my box of cards the other day and came across my all time favorite auto.
My dad seemed to attend a lot games when I was young and he had the great habit of hauling me along. One night he was going to see Ole Miss play LSU for a midweek game. Oxford was two and a half hours from our house so it was going to be a long night. Being a school night, I was not allowed to go and was mad about it. My dad made it home that night with a consolation prize of sorts. Pete Maravich was doing radio for LSU and my dad brought home a Pistol Pete signed program!  It's a huge auto, but fun for me because knowing my dad,I just can't imagine him standing around waiting for an autograph. I'm glad he did!
