I got the Pete Rose autograph via web 2.0 Saturday night.
Date?
The email to me from FansEdge says the autograph is 3/23, but the web page said 3/22 in some spots and 3/23 in others.
7:30 - ish
I was supposed to get a call from Pete shortly after 7:30. He finally called @ 9:10. At that point, I thought the autograph was going to be tomorrow.
I think there's plenty of room for improvement on this and it is a big gimmicky, but I still enjoyed it. I should get the baseball in a few weeks, I'll post a follow-up with a picture when I receive it. When on the phone, I asked for a signature on the sweet spot with "Fort Knox" and his company number under it... just wanted to have a different kind of autograph.
How it worked
I signed up on the web site and bought a baseball.
- Someone for Pete Rose called me at 9:00 pm ET and asked me to go to the URL they provided.
- Then she said there would be a 25 second delay from Pete talking on the phone to me and what goes on the internet.
- She handed the phone to Pete and I talked to him for about a minute regarding his Fort Knox Ohio Reserve days after his '63 season and he personalized a baseball for me.
- He was really cool, but a little rushed on the phone.

Keep us updated if any other player decide to do this. I have Pete's auto so I didn't get involved, but this is facinating!
