Hey Superstarers, welcome back to one of my autograph videos. For some reason there just hasn't been a whole lot of in-person signings. I don't know why, but I found one and it was super special and you can tell it was super special because you're looking at my ugly face and not one of my drawings. So let's remedy that. So like I said, this video is special. Not only are we doing a very special in-person signing, but I was commissioned to do this one. Let's talk about Super Joe first though. Joe Sharbinot was the 1980 American Lee working of the year from my beloved Cleveland Indians and Cleveland loved him. We adored him. We wrote a song about him. And Joe was an absolute goofball. He's been described as Dennis Rodman before Dennis Rodman. Imagine has it that he could open beer bottles with his eye sockets and drinks said beer through his nose. I'm not making this up. He dyed his hair wacky colors. He was an extra in the film The Natural and kind of like Roy Hobbs, he got stabbed outside of the team hotel during spring training before his major lake debut. I know Roy Hobbs was shot, but it's still kind of similar. Fortunately for Joe, we still made the opening day roster and he responded with a fantastic season, adding 289 with 23 homeruns, including a homer in his first MLB game. And 87 runs batted in. Like I said, winning the AL rookie of the year and living up to his awesome nick name Super Joe Sharbinot. Cut to spring training 1981. Joe slides headfirst into second and messes up his back in his career. He kept trying to come back, but he was never the same player. Since baseball, Joe has taken up coaching. He coached his fellow extras into actors in The Natural. He coached in the frontier league. And now he's a bad and coach for the Notre Dame College baseball team. Go Falcons! . Just so happens to be the 40th anniversary of his rookie year campaign. And I was asked by my friend Rod of R&J Promotions to do a commemorative piece for Joe that he could sell at signings this year. We had Joe's blessing, so I jumped at the opportunity. We did a numbered edition of 134. Joe's number was 34. I think that came out pretty cool. . Well, this is a great honor to sign this. Well, thank you, Harry. It really is. Awesome. I love it. Thanks. And you? I headed down to Columbus to meet Joe and get my artist boost sign. Awesome job. Look at that. Very nice. If you can't tell, but under that mask, I've got the biggest smile in my face. I'm totally geeking out about this one. No, I'm not sure. I'm going to fix it. I'm going to stand up. Was that stand up? Yeah. You were in the morning. Joe was quite possibly the nicest athlete I've ever met. He's such a good dude and that just makes this project all the more special for me. All right, thanks. We do a fake dance shake to the glass. I love it. You got improvise now. Improvise. Now, Joe is signing these in Cleveland in early August. If you'd like to buy one for the in-person signing or if you're out of town and you'd like to have R&J promotion send you a signed copy, go visit their Facebook page. Link for that is below. Also, if you'd like to buy my artist boost that I used in this video and support cancer research, I've sent that to autographs for a cure. And that is now up for sale. Link for that is below as well.
