Feb. 20 Report: Steve Balboni

I guess baseball is back on the minds of fans and former players alike. After enduring quite a lengthy drought of baseball autographs to start the year, I've added two in three days' time.

The second success comes from Steve Balboni, an 11-year veteran of MLB who hit for power and struck out with power. In 1985 he led the AL with 166 strikeouts but also set the Royals' single-season HR mark with 38.

Balboni was the starting first baseman in the 1985 World Series for the champion Royals. He batted .320 in the series win over the Cards.


Day of the Year: 51
Number of Autographs This Year: 88
