Calling all Baseball Fans!

For all you baseball fans out there gearing up for the start of a new season, here is a celebrity photograph from my collection you'll appreciate.

For those of you that don't recognize the photo, William "Buck" Showalter is an major league baseball manager for the Baltimore Orioles. Showalter previously served in a similar capacity for the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers. He was formerly a professional baseball player himself and a television analyst for ESPN.

A two-timeAmerican Leage Manager of the Year, Showalter Showalter has earned a reputation for building baseball teams into postseason contenders in short periods of time. He helped the Yankees rise from the bottom half of the AL East to first place before a player's strike prematurely ended the 1994 campaign. Under his watch, my favorite team the Arizona Diamondbacks made their first-ever playoff appearance in only its second year of existence. Pretty impressive! He left both franchises just prior to the seasons where they won the World Series.

Make sure that the products that you buy to store your autographs is clearly labeled acid-free. If the package doesn't specify that, don't trust it with your photos. 2. Keep humidity low - Humidity causes moisture which can be devastating to paper products like photographs. To keep your...

Is the selfie the new autograph?

By Brent Briggeman Advertisement Every time a fan pulls out a phone and asks Michael McKenry to pose for a selfie, it makes him laugh. It reminds the Rockies catcher of "The Goonies," where one of the young characters created a device that holds the camera out in front of him. "When you think about it, he's the one who invented the selfie stick," McKenry said of the kid in the 1985 film. "And it took all this time for technology to catch up." Technology has caught up, all right. Roughly 100 million selfies are taken daily according to a study from Google, those making up part of the nearly 900 billion photos snapped in a year according to Agence France-Presse. The Internet is filled with surveys that tell what your...
