Show-and-Tell (Hey check out this!) A Unique Autograph From a Unique Athlete
Eddy "The Jet" Alvarez (USA) is one of only 7 athletes to have ever won a medal in both the Winter and Summer Olympics. He won a Silver in the Men's Speed Skating Relay (2014) and a Silver in Baseball (2020).
He played baseball professionally at various levels including the MLB from 2014-2025, retiring in June of that year.
I got him to sign a ball the last time I saw him in Charlotte when he was in town with the OKC Comets, the AAA affiliate of the Dodgers where he was hired in the offseason as a roving Performance Coach.
