Anybody else pick this up?  I got a copy in the mail last week from amazon.com.  It's pretty sweet.  They also have a hard cover copy for $29.99 i believe.  I framed my soft cover copy.  Here's the link if anybody is interested:

My wife bought this for me as a gift a few weeks ago.  I got the cover signed by Big Baby when he came to my town on July 19th.  Now I need to get a frame for it.  ;D

That's awsome!  It would be classic to have an autograph framed of big baby with the trophy!  This pic is just priceless.  It would definately go on my wall.

Big Baby was cool.  He signed my SI cover and then I gave him a pound.  On my way out I said "Make sure you get Posey's minutes next year."  He stopped signing the next person's object, looked up with a big grin and said, "I will!"  My two boys both got his autograph too.  It is their first professional athlete autograph.  I just wish I did not have to pay $25 per item that we got signed.  What happened to the days of free autographs ???

Here is a picture of my two boys waiting for Big Baby's autograph.

I think you're referring to the article in S.I. that had K.G. & Russell on the cover with the trophy.
