I have a large collection of Yankees Memoriabilia and baseball cards. All that has been packed away for a few years though since I have no where to display it. I will probably end up selling the collection off this year when the weather warms up.

I love working on the car (see avatar)
Guitar (but I suck)
Just hanging with friends, seeing I just moved back to my home town.
Boating, skiing wakeboarding
The Yard, if you can call this a hobbie, or just being cheap
Video games, love Call of Duty on the computer.
My dogs, a Flat coated retreiver, and a black lab
My kids
Music
Now screwing around with facebook and myspace.

Hey MedicCook, I have a baseball signed by the 1977 Yankees, Billy Martin and crew, I think they won the World Series that year, but it is getting faded.. any suggestions on keeping it from fading?

The easiest thing is to put it in something soft and put it away in a dark place. Any light that hits it is going to fade and yellow it. There are some products available that you can use to coat it in to try and preserve it but you have to becareful that they do not cause the signatures to bleed.

I love to play golf and go fishing, but it seems I never have enough time to do it.
I collect cookbooks about seafood and cook a lot of seafood too.
The last few years I've been doing a lot of gardening.

Free time has been limited so it seems my other hobby is working lately but seriously I also enjoy Mountain Biking, Snowboarding and Shoooting.

I would stay away from putting any coating on it. Put it in a ball cube, put it in a dark place such as a closet or a room with no windows.
