Greeting from Albuquerque!
Hi Everyone
I am a live long sports fan. I grew up in the Lafayette Louisiana area, St. Martinville to be exact. Used to listen to LSU football on Saturday nights on a transistor radio with my dad in the early 70s. Became interested in baseball when Ron Guidry burst onto the scene. Started collecting baseball cards as a hobby while in the Marines in the mid 80s. Just picked it back up in the last couple of years on a small scale. I am a big Diamondbacks fan and get to a few games there and also in Coors field a few times a season. I became interested in autographs after catching a Jake Lamb HR at Coors field on August 12th. I collect for fun....only the players I like along with most Diamondbacks present and past. My main collecting now is of Greinke. I just started collecting Hines Ward cards due to the fact he completed an Ironman in Hawaii in 2013. Triathlon is my other current hobby. Great info here...glad to be here and seeing where this autograph journey takes me. I am on instagram (how I found this site) under @tt.shoo
I am self employed living with my wife in Albuquerque, NM. Along the way I attended Louisiana Lafayette and Arizona State...thus my Diamondback connection. I worked summers in Yellowstone NP while in college. I have 3 kids...one in Chandler, AZ and two at home (I recently graduated in Civil Engineering) other is a Jr who runs cross country.
I am too long winded!!
Thanks!
Ron

Isnt't it still surreal? Every time I see someone on TV catch a HR ball I say to myself I know how they feel!!! I consider myself lucky that I caught one for sure. What stadium did you catch yours?
