Doug Flutie
Many Times I always refer to the old adage its people you
know to find out information. A Very Good friend of mine was playing in a
tournament consisting of 40 and older baseball players at Disney and knowing my
passion he gave me some inside information that his team had just played DOUG
FLUTIE representing Boston. (Flutie won the Heisman Trophy playing for Boston
University as the top College Player). A friend and I decided to take a trip down
to the fields in hopes of getting a chance to meet him. As we were figuring out
where to go we saw him pull in the VIP parking lot with his sports car. Also
like 2 cats waiting to jump into action we waited until he came around the bend
and approached him. Whoa was his first words and we politely asked if he would
sign our items. I had 4 footballs that I have been collecting for 20 years all
with Heisman winners and though he has a reputation of being a hard signer he
went along and signed all but not before a few comments. You are selling these
he said, and I responded not at this time as I am collecting these. He
responded " Oh Yeah, do you think I fell off the turnip truck . So no
matter what I said it did not matter but he did with some hesitation took a
picture with us. As he picked up his bag he looked at us and said" Oh the
Picture is for showing that I really signed it" . Well it doesn’t
hurt I smiled at him but truly we are big fans. Which I can tell everyone
we still are.
