Rex Barney was the PA announcer for the Baltimore Orioles from 1974 until his death in 1997. He was famous for often using the phrase "Give that fan a contract!" when a fan snared a foul ball on the fly. However, if the fan misplayed the ball, Barney would intone, "Give that fan... an error!" This was an expansion on the old radio and TV announcers' comment, "Sign him up!" He would also announce after every game, "Thank youuuuu."

This copy of "Rex Barney's Thank Youuuu" was signed on the inside cover by Barney and inscribed, "Best Wishes" and "Thank Youuuu." This book includes a Great Moments COA.
