o report three successes for the third day in a row today, two of them football and the other is my first actress addition of the year.Ladies first I suppose, so here is Catherine Zeta-Jones. The stunning actress from Wales was performing at the Walter Kerr Theater in New York when she signed this program from her performance in "A Little Night Music".
She's an avid golf nut and I was hoping to get her to autograph a golf ball for me, but she instead opted for this program. Still very happy with this success from a beautiful and talented leading lady.
Alongside the Zeta-Jones signature came that of two former football players. One was more successful than the other on the professional level, but a nice add nonetheless.
Chris Hanbu
rger was one of the finest linebackers of his day back in the 1960s and 1970s. Somehow he's managed to be overlooked for Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration to date, but he's certainly got some impressive stats. He was an All-Pro four times and was selected to nine Pro Bowls in his career. He amassed 19 interceptions and was a feared competitor who earned the nickname The Hangman because of his clothesline tackles.Truly one of the greatest Washington Redskins of all time - and there's been some serious quality there over the years.
The third in my trio of successes today came from former Notre Dame quarterback Rick Mirer. He was brilliant in college but a bit of a disappointment in the NFL. My worst mem
ory of Mirer was when he led Notre Dame against Florida in the 1992 Sugar Bowl. My former school (UF) was trounced by Notre Dame and RB Jerome Bettis was a one-man wrecking crew. That game stung a bit as you can still tell.That sour memory aside, I'm still happy to add a great NCAA autograph to my collection.
