Okay, it's at least as interesting as listing your DVD collection. But over the weekend I managed to get an autograph from Hanley Ramirez on a 2008 All-Star Game ball for my 90th "single/sweet spot" autographed baseball.
Started my collection in 1991 when I got Willie Mays at a card show. Got serious about it around 2002 when I started getting countless (FREE) autographs at actual games. With a few exceptions, most are autographed on the sweet spot. So here's my master list in alphabetical order:

I also have 41 "team balls". Which are baseballs with multiple autographs from annual teams. "2003 Rockies, 2008 Dodgers, 2004 Padres, etc". I use those for when I get the lesser-known guys; although I have a quite a few big names on those, as well. My 2004 Rockies ball even has the team's video coordinator on it.
And yup, my unintentional stalking victim, Brad Lidge, is on my "2004 Houston Astros" ball. When I got his autograph, that might've been the first time I stalked him and told him: "Cherry Creek SUCKS!"
That's a lotta balls. Also, on first glance, I swore that #4 said Buff Bagwell. Who'd want his balls?
