No mail at all over the last week but I made a
feeble attempt at graphing the Mets as they were in town earlier in the
week. The only ones I could get were infielder Alex Cora, pitcher Livan Hernandez, manager Jerry Manuel, catcher Brian Schneider, and outfielder Gary Sheffield. I also got Orioles manager Dave Trembley and former first baseman Boog Powell. Up next are the Nats next weekend.

I had a disappointing day Friday as I went to see
the Braves in Baltimore. I was only able to try for graphs during
batting practice and the Braves were a poor signing team inside the
ballpark. I was able to get outfielder Jeff Francoeur, pitcher Mike Gonzalez, infielder Diory Hernandez, and coach Terry Pendleton.
Also in the mail this week was one return from 1998 AL ROY Ben Grieve.

Ben Grieve - c/o home, 3/4, 129 days

I have been to many O's games
since Opening Day seeing the Yankees, Rays, Twins, White Sox, Blue
Jays, Rangers and Tigers. Here's my team by team successes:
For the Yankees, I got reliever
Brian Bruney, pitcher Joba Chamberlain, catcher Jose Molina, pitcher
Andy Pettite, closer Mariano Rivera, broadcaster Ken Singleton, and
pitcher Chien-Ming Wang.
The Rays weren't quite as good as
I only got outfielder Gabe Kapler, pitcher Scott Kazmir, and pitcher
Jeff Niemann.
The Twins, despite having no
batting practice the day I went due to rain, were a good signing team
as always. I got Scott Baker, pitcher Craig Breslow, pitcher
Jesse Crain, third baseman Joe Crede, infielder Brendan Harris, pitcher
Francisco Liriano, closer Joe Nathan, pitcher Kevin Slowey, and
outfielder Denard Span.
As for the White Sox I was able
to get infielder Wilson Betemit (cards, card), infielder Josh Fields,
reliever Scott Linebrink, and shortstop Alexei Ramirez.
The Rangers were great. I
got shortstop Elvis Andrus, pitcher Kris Benson (card), outfielder
Marlon Byrd, outfielder Josh Hamilton, outfielder Andruw Jones,
outfielder David Murphy, shortstop Omar Vizquel, and closer C.J. Wilson
(cards).
The Blue Jays were also decent as
I got catcher Rod Barajas, second baseman Aaron Hill (card), infielder
Joe Inglett, outfielder Adam Lind, first baseman Kevin Millar, third
baseman Scott Rolen, outfielder Vernon Wells (cards), and pitcher Brian
Wolfe.
The Tigers were the last team to
come through Baltimore and I got pitcher Armando Galarraga, outfielder
Curtis Granderson, manager Jim Leyland, reliever Brandon Lyon, pitcher
Zach Miner, and pitcher Nate Robertson.
I never tried too hard for the
Orioles, but so far this year I have gotten pitcher Brad Bergesen
(Debut ticket), pitcher Adam Eaton (card), pitcher Jeremy Guthrie,
former pitcher Dave Johnson (card), centerfielder Adam Jones, Hall of
Famer Cal Ripken, and second baseman Brian Roberts. They also have been hosting Alumni Autograph sessions at certain games at which I have received Paul Blair, Tim Nordbrook, and Joe Orsulak.

One return and an exciting trade in for me today. Former Padres pitcher Shawn Estes
signed a card for me which was sent to the team last season. Also
in a trade with Dan I received a signed ball of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski.
The Orioles had their Fanfest over the weekend and
while I was not able to stay long enough to get autographs during their
signing, I was able to pick up some former player signed 8x10s for only
$1 each. They were pitcher Danys Baez, pitcher Chad Bradford, pitcher Brian Burres, utilityman Freddie Bynum, pitcher Lance Cormier, utilityman Brandon Fahey, infielder Luis Hernandez, and outfielder Tike Redman.

signed two cards for me through the team's spring training address.
Good thing the team kept his mail while he was playing in the
WBC. Opening day in Baltimore is just a week away!!

Mail continues to be slow with the regular season

consisting of signed cards from Rangers pitcher Kevin Millwood (cards). Thanks, Dave!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3/25/09
Another spring training return in today bringing my
huge total up to 2! Pirates pitcher Craig Hansen nicely signed
two cards for me through the team's spring training address. I
also had a return from former journeyman pitcher Mark Clark.
In a Washington Nationals 50/50
deal, I received signed cards of pitcher Daniel Cabrera, infielder Jose
Castillo, catcher Jesus Flores, outfielder Willie Harris, outfielder
Ryan Langerhans, infielder Pete Orr, and pitchers Josh Towers and Ryan
Wagner.

today from Red Sox reliever Hideki

through
spring training, although I've only sent out about 15 requests.

I have yet to receive any mail in the
month of
March, but am slowly getting more requests out. However, I
have
obtained two new autographs for my collection. My parents
went
to a home show about a week ago and stumbled across former Oriole Paul
Blair
who was signing at a realtor booth. The realtor gave my
parents a
baseball for Blair to sign and it he has a very nice signature.
I
also pulled a certified autograph of Rangers minor leaguer Johnny
Whittleman from a pack of 2008 Bowman Draft.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2/20/09
Finally got something for the week.
Former Nationals closer Chad
Cordero and Dodgers first baseman James
Loney
both signed for me. The Loney is interesting because I
remember
sending it out last spring training, but I did not document it, so it
took roughly a year but I'm not sure about the exact time. My
parents also went to the Baltimore auto show last weekend where Al
Bumbry was signing
so they picked a couple things up for me.

Chad Cordero
- c/o home, 1/1, 52 days

James Loney
- c/o Dodgers spring training 2008, 1/1, unknown....
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2/12/09
It has been a great week for mail.
After a
pretty dry week to start the month, I received multiple returns
throughout this week. Former Yankee and Ranger Chad
Curtis, former Brewers pitcher Jeff
D'Amico, 1967 Cy Young award winner Jim
Lonborg, former Braves and Rangers outfielder Oddibe
McDowell, and Indians All-Star centerfielder Grady
Sizemore
all signed for in the past week. It's nice to get a good
amount
of mail back, especially the Sizemore, who has continuously eluded me
at Camden Yards.

Chad Curtis

Just an ebay purchase in today.
I recently bought a signed ball of Frank
Robinson with a Steiner COA for a decent price. I
now have a signed baseball by each Hall of Famer from the Orioles!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1/25/09
One return this weekend from the very
reliable Mike
Mussina.
Moose signed the card I sent to him in less than two weeks.
I have had success with every request I have ever sent to
Mussina
and I think he has one of the nicest signatures around.

Mike Mussina
- c/o home, 1/1, 11 days

returns. Former pitcher Jimmy

I have really been slacking recently
with getting
mail out, and will be trying to pump some out for the new year.
My only return recently has been former pitcher Pete
Harnisch. I sent him 6 cards and told him to keep
any that he wanted. He returned 3 signed and kept the others.
Pete Harnisch
- c/o home, 3/6, 11 days
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
11/28/08
Another surprise today coming from Hall
of Famer Paul
Molitor.
This card was sent during the 2007 season, and was another
long
wait. Very cool that he is catching up on all of his mail.
Paul Molitor
- c/o Minnesota Twins, 1/1, 541 days
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
11/25/08
Mail has still been incredibly slow,
with just a
trade and an old request coming in. Hall of Famer Paul
Molitor signed a card for me through the Minnesota Twins
address in over a year. This was a nice surprise to get back.
In a
trade with Dave I received signed cards of Vince
Coleman and Nelson
Cruz.

Mail has been extremely slow
with only one
return, although it was a good one. Giants shortstop Omar
Vizquel signed a ball for me in a few weeks.

week. First up was the Indians as I was able to get

Hafner, catcher Victor

I have gotten returns from Cardinals outfielder Brian
Barton, White Sox pitcher Mark
Buehrle, Giants pitcher Brad
Hennessey, Nationals prospect Anderson
Hernandez, and former batting champ Bill
Mueller.
I also
did some poor autographing
as the White Sox came to town. During one session of batting
practice I was only able to get coach
Harold Baines and Orioles third baseman Melvin
Mora.
A 50/50
with Dan also brought me signed cards of Paul
Byrd.

Another
decent sized update today. Last week I went to see
Baltimore's
single A team, the Frederick Keys. I haven't been to
Frederick
for a game in over 10 years, so it was nice to go back there.
I
bought a team set and was able to get autographs from second baseman Miguel
Abreu, pitching coach Blaine
Beatty, coach J.J.
Cannon, infielder Todd
Davison, catcher Zach

Time for a giant update. Last
week I took my
one annual trip to Bowie to see the O's AA team and go for some
autographs (Matt Wieters specifically). It was a good time,
as it
was Adam Loewen bobblehead day, my fiance won a contest by being the
first one to the announcer with an Orioles keychain, winning $15 worth
of scratch offs (yielding $7 in winnings), and I won an Orioles
memoribilia raffle giving me an autographed photo of Hayden
Penn. Here's the autograph totals: first baseman Ryan
Finan, pitcher David
Hernandez, coach Moe
Hill, pitcher Ryan
Keefer, third baseman Jeff
Nettles, outfielder Nolan
Reimold (cards),
second baseman Carlos
Rojas, pitcher Felix
Romero, pitcher Chris
Tillman, second baseman Jonathan
Tucker, and catcher and O's top prospect Matt
Wieters (cards).
Over the
weekend I decided, like
every other autograph collector/dealer on the east coast, to graph Josh
Hamilton and the Rangers here in Baltimore. The Rangers were
a
very good signing team despite the crowds, as I only missed a few
players. I was able to get pitcher Joaquin
Benoit (card),
injured third baseman Hank
Blalock, outfielder Brandon
Boggs, DH Milton
Bradley (cards,
cards),
outfielder Marlon
Byrd, outfielder Frank
Catalanotto, first baseman Chris
Davis (card),
outfielder Jason
Ellison (card),
pitcher Frank
Francisco, pitcher Eddie
Guardado (cards),
All Star Josh
Hamilton (ball,
Beckett),
pitcher Matt
Harrison, pitcher Tommy
Hunter, All Star second baseman Ian
Kinsler, catcher Gerald
Laird (cards),
pitcher Warner
Madrigal, pitcher Luis
Mendoza, pitcher Dustin
Nippert, pitcher Josh
Rupe, catcher Jarrod
Saltalamacchia (cards,
card),
infielder Ramon
Vazquez (cards,
card),
and pitcher Jamey
Wright.
For the
Orioles, I got pitcher Fernando
Cabrera, infielder Juan
Castro, former Oriole Boog
Powell, outfielder Luke
Scott, and I finished one of my own 8x10 photos by getting Nick
Markakis.
Finally
for the mail, which hasn't been much. Giants minor leaguer Ronnie
Ray signed for me and I also added a signed card of Corey
Koskie to my 2006 Topps Heritage collection through a
purchase.
THE END!

Defenders, 1/1, 13 days

This is the first time in a long time
that I've
actually had multiple returns in a week. One was almost a two
year wait as former Phillies outfielder Doug
Glanville signed three cards for me. The other came

Reynolds
which was sent out during spring training. Tonight I'm going
to
my annual Bowie Baysox game, and then it's the Rangers here in
Baltimore!
