Gentili also covered the nation’s leading sports collectibles shows and events such as the NFL Experience/Super Bowl, MLB FanFest/All-Star Game, and the National Sports Collectors Convention. He conducted exclusive interviews with athletes ranging from Bill Russell and Kobe Bryant to Nolan Ryan and Jerry Rice. During the home-run chase of 1998, he was one of USA Today’s leading sources on Mark McGwire’s and Sammy Sosa’s impact on the sports collectibles business. Gentili also worked closely with Tuff Stuff’s show department; quarterbacking/hosting sports collectibles seminars and assisting autograph guests from Alex Rodriguez and Chipper Jones to Peyton Manning and Jim Kelley.

Gentili’s publishing career includes two years on the island of Nantucket, Ma., as sports editor for the Nantucket Beacon. His section was twice named “Sports Pages of the Year” by the Massachusetts Press Association and it was honored by the New England Press Association. Gentili’s work as a sports columnist also won awards from both organizations.
