St. Petersburg Museum of History

Collector Dennis Schrader spent over 60 years amassing the world's largest collection of autographed baseballs, certified by Guinness World Records. The exhibit houses over 5,000 signed balls, featuring legends like Babe Ruth alongside curveballs signed by Neil Armstrong, Fidel Castro, and Marilyn Monroe.

The move: Challenge each other to locate the most absurd non-athlete signatures in the glass cases—from US presidents to pop culture icons.
