Late nights, the Internet, ShopMLB.com, and a credit card. A few nights ago those elements conspired together to fuel my impulse to buy something that I really didn't need but that I'm now glad I have: baseballs autographed by young Dodger first baseman James Loney and All-Star Dodger catcher Russel Martin.
Both of these future hall-of-famers embody what baseball can and should be. They show a drive that is equally matched by their talent, and while I don't consider my purchases an investment in the traditional sense, I am thrilled to hold a piece of what will surely become a part of baseballs long and rich history.
Now if I could only find an authentic Takashi Saito baseball...
