The McFarlane Collection - 10 home run baseballs from the historic 1998 race between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, featuring McGwire's $3 million 70th - is gearing up for its 2001 tour. This is the Collection's third year of touring and raising money for ALS, a charity fighting Lou Gehrig's disease.

    The Collection is housed in a striking 28-foot display case complete with multimedia presentations and other home run memorabilia. The Collection also features display cases housing plenty of McFarlane Toys action figures, including some things not even in stores yet.

    And don't forget Collection spokesman Al Simmons and tour dogs Drew and Matt, who are always happy to talk sports, toys and comics.

    Check the Events page to see when the Collection is coming to your town. See you then.
