Distance doesn't matter, I guess

Here we are, exactly 1,398 miles away from Fenway Park, but that distance doesn't keep us from adding to our autographed baseball memorabilia.

Boston's David Ortiz signed this Dominican Republic replica jersey from last year's World Baseball Classic for Colin. That's Big Papi's signature on the number 4.

As an added bonus, Ortiz also signed a base similar to the McFarlane sculpture shown at left. That, too, belongs to Colin. I'll tell you what. Colin is pretty darn fortunate to have such friends in the right places.

Rumor has it, too, that there will soon be a gathering of members of the Red Sox's 1967 Impossible Dream team. I wonder what will come of that. Nothing, probably.
