He's a swimmer, not a baseball player.

[froggig23]

he is?

[DrWhoAutographs]

Yes, why get a baseball signed by a swimmer of all people? It's like getting Daniel Craig to sign Spiderman

You're missing the whole point. People get any kind of celebrity to sign baseballs. I'm not sure why, but it happens. If you meet a celebrity in a restaurant, why would you get them to sign a menu or a napkin? They aren't employed by the restaurant. It's because you have it, and it's a cool way to display an autograph.

Congrats! That baseball looks great signed.

[froggig23]

yes I KNOW HE ISNT....but if u look at a photo (WHICH I DIDNT HAVE) or a swim cap that gets sighned by him w/ a sharpie, the auto is fat and unreadable....w/ a ball point itsa a clean auto....ALOT of people wont sighn index cards (hence the white bringing the auto out) the white background w/ his auto is very nice! alot better than a quick scribble w/ a sharpie. and he took his time w/ mine where as a photo he just scribbled. i have a bunch of baseballs auto by celebs. thats what I collect.have about 3 dozen and 1 dozen blank waiting to be autoed ;)

I have a McDonalds napkin signed by Kid Rock - met him at a baseball game and it was all I had.

I say go for odd objects and If you got a whatever get it signed. I would rather get something then nothing and many stars sign baseballs and so do wrestlers.

Looks great

That's the point I'm making. Not everything has to be a pair of swim trunks for a swimmer, a baseball for a baseball player, or a condom for a porn star. It's good to mix it up. It adds variety!
