It All Started With Jerry Rice
Until the fall of 2004, the football was blank. I had always wanted
to fill it up with signatures, but it really wasn’t high
on my priority list. Then Jerry Rice came to play for the Seahawks.

Some Favorite Stories
There really is a story for every signature. Some are just more
interesting to me than others. If I had to pick out my top 5 memories,
they would be... Story
You Don’t Have To Be Crazy, But It Helps!
It was in May of 2007, and the Yankees came to Seattle to play
the Mariners. I was right behind home plate, and I looked over
and saw some guys getting to their seats. I didn’t think
about it much, but then I realized, that looks like Seneca Wallace
and Lofa Tatupu. Story
Paul Allen
Paul Allen has to be on the list just because he is Paul Allen,
right? Not necessarily! Who he is isn’t why he is on the
list. He is on the list because of the reaction I got when I asked
him to sign the ball. Story |
President Clinton
President Clinton signed the ball when he was in town doing a
book signing for his new book, “Giving”. Because of
what this ball had become, what it was going to be used for, the
fact that he is a former President and his book message was all
about giving, I figured it was perfect. Story
David Hill - FOX Sports Chairman
A few years ago the Fox Game Day crew were in town broadcasting
from Qwest Field. And recruited for duty to obtain an elusive
signature was the Chairman of FOX Sports himself, David Hill.
Story
John Nordstrom
Due to the fact that the Nordstrom family, along with other notable
Seattle figures, made up the original Seahawks ownership group,
I figured the ball would not be complete without some representation
from the original group. Story
And In Closing
The money that this football raises for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®
is going to do a far greater good than if it were sitting on a
shelf in my room or office. Story |
