My name is Jonathan Elias, I am 19 Years old. Baseball has been a huge part of my life, and during the 2004 season I discovered the art of snagging baseballs and collecting autographs. A friend of mine took me to NYC to the hotel for the Pirates and I have been hooked ever since. Its an addiction, and an addiction I love and hope never dies. I have collected over 1500 autographs, most of which are on baseball cards. I have a bad problem wasting all of my money on cards to add to my collection. I have caught over 70 baseballs at major and minor league games, but my real passion has been collecting autographs. In 2008, I totaled 911 autographs in a little under 4 months of the season (silly college.) Anyway, I love my passion, and if I'm not talking about baseball or thinking about it, I'm most likely asleep. My favorite player all-time is Jeff Bagwell, and my favorite active player is Garrett Atkins. Hope you enjoy my blogs and updates, and check back as I will certainly update here often.

Baseball, basketball, hockey. Playing and watching. Food. Taco Bell, KFC, Chili's, 7/11 Baseball Cards. Spending way too much money on them. Music. The Fray, Counting Crows, The National, and much more
