My grandpa ran into Johnny Bench downtown on July 24th 1984. This planner is the only thing he had for him to sign.

Best catcher of all time
I got his autograph on a baseball at the Auglaize County Fair in 1980-something. It was either a livestock auction or a competition, don’t remember which…but toward the end my mom pulled my friend and I out of the building and sent us to the closest door to where he was sitting. He signed our baseballs as he left the building amidst a throng of people.
I still have the baseball but was less careful with it than I should’ve been. The autograph is smudged, but still legible.
Yes it’s real, and it’s fabulous
