Alright, just nailed down the deal on former Giant, Red & Tiger pitcher Frank Williams.

Many know the story of Williams and how he has been on the streets for quite a bit a time due to alcoholism, poor life choices and 4 divorces in which his wives share in most all of his MLB pension.

Crazy story, if you want to read on it visit http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/story.html?id=f59bb2b3-1964-4e2b-b220-f202d75dce57&k=93376&p=1

Items are $10 per flat since I am asuming no one will want anything other then a baseball card signed. Frank is excited to do this signing as the extra money will come in handy and hopefully help him get a place of his own.

Folks, his life is a sad story but I know there are a lot of collectors out there that need Frank Williams to complete a set. I know I am, with 1989 Upperdeck.

So, send the $10 cash, check or money order payable to Alan Moore.

Send items to:

Alan Moore
Attn:Frank Williams Signing
708 Wagner Farm Rd
Millersville MD 21108


I am shooting on having the items sent out on March 15th and back from Canada to ship back within the 1st week of April if all goes smoothly.

Spread the word as this may be the only signing with Frank that we do.

Alan

Yeah, both myself and the card store that Frank stops in each week are doing this 100% to help Frank. Well, I am getting 2 cards signed for free but who is counting? LOL!

The crazy thing is Williams stops in once a week to get more of his cards because he uses them for ID. No lying, he doesn't have a legal ID in Canada because it costs money, he lost his old one years ago and doesn't have any of the legal stuff to get a new one. Like I said, crazy story!

I'll do at least 1, maybe 2

If anyone needs cards on him (or if Allan wants to send them to Frank), I have 31 extras I'll send out for free for SASE's. PM me for my addy.

Not to get off-topic, but WOW $120,000 in pension money/year from MLB! That's pretty incredible!
