The Sports Gallery, a memorabilia shop off Cincinnati-Dayton Road in West Chester, is scheduled to host autograph sessions with four members of the Big Red Machine in August and September.
First up is a member of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Joe Morgan, who will be hosting an autograph session from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday.
Next Tuesday, Aug. 7, the shop will then host Dave Concepcion and George Foster in a joint autograph session that will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Then, on Sept. 20, Johnny Bench, another member of the MLB Hall of Fame, will visit the Sports Gallery from 6 to 8 p.m.
“We have been blessed to be able to get these Hall of Famers to visit our shop in West Chester,” Sports Gallery co-owner Mark Fugate said. “We simply could not be more excited for ourselves and for the fans, who have been asking us to get these guys in to do a signing.”
Tickets (one autograph per ticket) for the Morgan and Bench signing sessions range from $85 to $100 each. Meanwhile, tickets for Concepcion and Foster range from $30 to $45 each, or are $65 for both autographs together.
Prior to the signing events or on the day of the event, the Sports Gallery will also have baseballs, bats, photos, cards, helmets and other Reds collectibles available for purchase.
Furthermore, items can also be dropped off or mailed in to be signed.
