Old School Pizzeria at 552 Washington St., in Wellesley Square is hosting appearances by Boston Bruins Brad Marchand (April 2, 4-6pm, and shown here) and Gregory Campbell (April 6, 4-6pm). If you’re interested in getting Marchand’s autograph, though, note that he’s only signing his own brand of sports gear, which naturally will be available for purchase on site that day.
Shame on Mr. Marchand for charging $50 for his autograph today in Wellesley and an additional $50 for “extra” words — none of this loot will be donated, but will stay in his own greedy pocket. Isn’t 2.5 million a year enough? My 11 year old granddaughter is a huge fan of his watching all the games and begging me for his jersey for his birthday. She was actually home sick today with strep and sent a friend to obtain an autograph on a photo she had taken with him when she and her parents bumped into him on the Esplanade last summer. Didn’t happen….. what a nice thing to teach kids… I hope she starts cheering for another player.
