My 1986 World Series Game 6 project is my favorite piece of memorabilia. I've been getting autographs on it for a while and last weekend I added another (and maybe the last) big name to it.
Rich Gedman was the behind the plate for the Red Sox during that 1986 World Series Game 6 moment. On November 14, Gedman was signing at the MAB show where I asked him to sign his name on the photo (bottom right corner).
He laughed and took a few moments to look at the autographs on it and asked some questions on where I found Dale Ford (home plate umpire).
My 1986 World Series Game 6 project is probably complete. It's doubtful that I'll find the other two umpires in the photo. If I don't end up getting their signatures, I'm happy with the autographs I have on it from:
- Mookie Wilson
- Bill Buckner
- Bob Stanley
- Bill Robinson
- Dale Ford
- Rich Gedman

That's awesome. Congrats!
Nice piece.
So where did you find Dale Ford?
@Zman40 - Thank you.
@Paul - I tracked him down in the Tenn. State Legislature. He is a representative. I called and emailed his office. He even called me back personally. We talked about that play and umpiring. He was really nice.
