"Hersh" Goes Logging

Ted Forrest autographs his first baseball
Ted Forrest autographs his first baseball
Former MLB all-star Orel Hershiser has just eliminated a very tough opponent from the field in Ted Forrest.

After the last card was dealt and Hershiser declared the winner, the two opponents stood up to shake hands and a very interesting moment took place; Hershiser asked Forrest to sign his baseball.

According to the tournament’s emcee, Hershiser plans to have each of his opponents autograph the ball, which he himself has also signed, and eventually give it to the player who knocks him out of the tournament. A sixth signature on the ball spells a championship for the former slinger.
