   Frodo Baggins to All   
   RIP Baseball Star Pitcher

   I very seldom post but I do read the posts daily and lately things have   
   been very amusing with several trolls ridiculing those that are posting   
   on topic. Which brings me to my subject: Dottie Wiltse Collins star   
   pitcher in women's baseball league in the 1940's died 8/12/08. Dottie   
   was instrumental in building the All-American Girls League exhibit for   
   the baseball hall of fame and was the inspiration for Geena Davis'   
   character for the 1992 film 'A League of Their Own'   
   The LA Times newspaper must of thought she was of some historical   
   significance as they gave her half a page in the Sunday paper.   
      
   One of my favorite autographs in my collection is Brandon Lee son of   
   Bruce Lee.  I had the chance to meet him and get a  8X10 signed shortly   
   before his 'murder' on the set of 'The Crow".
