Marc LaMacchia

I met him at Fossil Park Sports Complex in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2021. I was there to watch my nephew play and Marc ended up being at the adjacent field watching his own kid play.

I live 2 miles away, so I quickly went home and grabbed my card of him.

I grew up in the same neighborhood as Marc. He and my brother are the same age and played Little League together, and my dad coached him. He would come over to my house and look at my autograph collection when he was a kid. One day he told me that he would be a part of it.

Marc signed a 2005 Clinton LumberKings Team Set card.
