Waiting for a Sign
Sep 11th 2024What a wonderful, intimate and heartwarming collection of stories about the baseball heroes that I revered in my youth. I have always cherished the few baseball autographs that I was able to collect, and I marvel how Kevin Keating turned a boyhood passion into friendships with some of baseball's great players. I enjoyed every story and loved how Kevin Keating brought a unique insight into the personalities of each player. He made me feel like I knew each one better. This is a must read for all baseball fans!

Unbelievable book, can’t put it down
Sep 3rd 2024I just want to say it takes a lot for me to read a book! However since I’ve received this book in the mail I can’t put it down !! It brings back so many childhood memories collecting autographs just like the Author Kevin is describing all his collecting autographs when he was growing up! I love all his stories how he got a lot of his autographs. I highly recommend this book to any autograph collectors. I will pass this book down to my Nephew. Great job Kevin Keating on this one and your next one I know will be just as great !!
