Rush, this weekend and next: The shop celebrates its10th anniversary on Saturday by hosting Chicago Cubs players MattMurton, Sean Marshall, Scott Eyre, Bobby Howry and Glendon Rusch --all of whom will sign autographs for a suggested donation of $45 from5 to 6:45 p.m., with the proceeds all going toward Ronald McDonaldHouse Charities.

Next Saturday, the 26th, the store will have White Sox playersPaul Konerko, Jermaine Dye, Sandy Alomar Jr., Joe Crede and A.J.Pierzynski sign autographs from 10 a.m.-noon for a suggested donationof $80, which will also go toward Ronald McDonald House Charities.

(A spokeswoman says Sox fans are being asked to pay more than Cubsfans because the Sox won the World Series last year and theirautographs are considered more valuable.)
