TODAY, I ATTENDED A SPORTS CARD SHOW IN LANCASTER, PA! A FRIEND HELPED OUT WITH PROMOTING THE SHOW. THE GUEST LIST INCLUDED FORMER MLB PLAYERS BOBBY SHANTZ (FREE AUTOGRAPH) , DON WERT & DENNY MCLAIN, NHL HOF & PHILADELPHIA FLYER BERNIE PARENT, AND CURRENT BALTIMORE RAVEN KEENAN REYNOLDS (ALL THE OTHER SIGNERS CHARGED A FEE FOR AN AUTOGRAPH/PHOTO)! A SPARSE CROWD ATTENDED THE SHOW WITH AWESOME WEATHER IN LANCASTER COUNTY! SUMMER SPORTS CARD SHOWS CAN BE TOUGH TO DRAW WITH ALL THE ACTIVITIES BEING HELD ON THE WEEKENDS! I MET 90 YEARS YOUNG BOBBY SHANTZ. HE WAS THE AL MVP IN 1952 AND WON A WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK YANKEES IN 1958! AS A SIDE NOTE, I MET FORMER MLB PLAYER DON WERT AS HE WAS EXITING THE SHOW. HE WON A WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE DETROIT TIGERS IN 1968.
