(I have one bat loaded with Yankees auto's)

I was seriously considering jumping the gun and getting the auto on the bat anyway with hopes maybe in the future the Yankees will pick him up. Then I said to myself "NO WAY" "THE YANKEES WILL NEVER PICK HIM UP" "NO WAY WILL HE EVER WANT TO PLAY SECOND FIDDLE TO POSADA" "POSADA AND HIM ARE LIKE THE ARCH RIVALS OF THERE PEAKS IN BASEBALL" "NOT GONNA HAPPEN"

Sure enough about 3 to 4 months later in a late season aquiring the Yankees picked up Pudge as a back up to Posada.

As you can imagine a huge "SMH" to myself lol
Dang thats crazy. I would never consider getting a players auto on a team bat that never played on the team. But im assuming you were able to aquire the autograph later on??
