"All season long in 2007, Yankees fans waited and waited and waited for the Bombers to call up Joba Chamberlain, the 21-year-old pitching sensation who had been destroying the competition down on the farm, first with the Tampa Yankees of the Florida State League, next with the AA-level Trenton Thunder and then with the team's AAA affiliate in Wilkes-Barre. Finally, on August 7, 2007, with their bullpen struggling, the Yankees tapped Chamberlain to make his MLB debut. That night, in a game against the Blue Jays, he struck out his first batter, Ray Olmedo, and pitched two perfect innings of relief. Relying on a devastating slider and a fastball that clocks in at up to 100 miles per hour, Chamberlain had not given up a run in his first eight appearances and he has quickly emerged as a Yankee Stadium favorite. It remains to be seen whether Chamberlain will stay in the bullpen or, as is planned, assume a spot in the starting rotation, but whatever happens he looks likely to be a very big piece of the Yankees' puzzle for years to come. Joba Chamberlain has hand signed this official MLB baseball, which comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity. "

"Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera are not only New York Yankees superstars, but also best friends who bring tremendous youth and energy to the Bombers' dugout. Drafted by the New York Yankees out of the Dominican Republic in 2001, Cano quickly ascended through the Yankees' farm system. And when the second base slot on the big-league team came up for grabs in 2005, Cano stepped up to the plate, exciting fans and teammates and the Yankees' brass with his bat, glove and speed. Now, Cano looks primed to anchor second base for years to come. Meanwhile, Cabrera was recalled from the Bombers' Triple-A affiliate Columbus in May, 2006, to replace an injured Hideki Matsui in left field. Today, with his sweet swing, ability to chase down fly balls and great arm, Cabrera is the Yankees' starting center fielder. Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera have each hand signed this 16x20 collage photograph. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included. "

Humorous poetry from the television program hosted by a beloved Minnesota news anchor.In the 1950s, Dave Moore, a young actor born and raised in Minneapolis, accepted a newscaster position with the local CBS affiliate, WCCO-TV—a job Walter Cronkite turned down. For the next three decades, until his death in 1998, he delivered the evening news with integrity, conviction, humor, and flair, making him a fixture in Minnesota living rooms.At the end of his weekly news-in-review program, Moore on Sunday (or, as he liked to call it, “Moron Sunday”), Moore often signed off by reciting a poem. These poems, composed by Moore’s son Peter and collected here for the first time, offer a fresh and funny take on the common and not-so-common stuff of our everyday lives. Reminiscent of Ogden Nash and Tom Lehrer, with a dash of Dr. Seuss, Peter Moore’s verse captures the essence of his father’s wit, common sense, honesty, and warmth.
