How would one get in touch with the right people to attempt to book professional ball players for events such as card shows, charity events, etc?

Thanx for any help.

P.S. How much do they charge? I know it would range depending on who but maybe some of you here have experience with this stuff....

Maybe Todd Jones ( wherever he plays now) at the sporting news. He writes a column. He's an often traded reliever, may need a friend.:biglaugh:
