Fred McGriff

I met him at a celebrity golf tournament at Lansbrook Golf Course in Palm Harbor, Florida.
A couple of years later he returned for another tournament. I decided to see if he would personalize an autograph for me. As a Mets fan it kind of bothered me that he wrote "Go Braves."

Fred signed the front covers of the August 1991 and November 1993 issues of Beckett Baseball Card Monthly.

Maharaji

On May 27, 2000, I went to Wild 98.7's Old School Jam, which featured Tone Loc, Slick Rick, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Run-DMC.
This was my second time seeing Sir Mix-A-Lot perform. The first was my very first concert in 1988 at a club called Moonbeams in Clearwater, Florida.
I didn't collect autographs back then, though I did get to meet Sir Mix-A-Lot that night. I just remember him putting his arm around my shoulder and me staring down at his massive 4-finger ring.
I was hoping to meet him again this night but alas it didn't happen. I did happen to recognize his fellow group member walking outside the arena after the show.

Maharaji signed the front cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot's Swass CD.

Grand Wizard Theodore

On April 1, 2006, Main Street Lounge in Louisville, Kentucky hosted a free turntablist show featuring D.J. QBert, Rob Swift, Grand Wizard Theodore, and D.J. Steve Dee.
After the show I saw Grand Wizard Theodore and Steve Dee waiting outside for a cab. I had the phone number to the taxi company in my phone, so I gave it to Steve so he could call and get them a ride back to their hotel.

Grand Wizard Theodore signed the back cover of the Scratch DVD.

Rich signed a 1993 Classic Best Dunedin Blue Jays Team Set card #4.
