Thanks!

A few from RDS today:
First the Marlins side
Tony Perez, starting a new card since the one I sent to Luis Tiant last year appears to have become his now. It had been signed by Perez, Minoso & Rojas - hope Luis liked it...
Andre Dawson, with any luck I will get Ozzie Smith to sign it - just missed him today ; (
****Updated
Tino Martinez
Jeff Conine, Mr. Marlin
Casey Kotchman, when I thanked him he said, "it's my pleasure, any time." You won't hear that from players very often!
***Henderson Alvarez, ROMLB on SS.
From the Cardinals
Jim Edmonds, an 8 x Gold Glover & a super nice guy.
Jon Jay, signed the pic below & my 2011 WS Celebration pic.
Oscar Taveras, this prospect is getting better every day.

Oh yeah, TTM today:
David Akers, signed 2 CICs.
Tyrann Mathieu, signed a CIC & kept his.
Austin Carr, signed 2 CICs & an IC. What a great scorer & shooter! Needs a new sharpie ; )
Billy Casper, a great golf champion & nice guy.
Lee Trevino, signed my 1981 Ryder Cup Team pic previously signed by Kite, Crenshaw, Irwin & Nelson.

Rick, thank you. My buddy had the same pic that had already been signed by Ozzie (except it was a 16x20) and the Hawk didn't sign it... I sent the Akers to 49ers camp but the PM was from South Jersey(?).

Thanks guys. I think Jimmy Edmonds has to be one of the nicest major league players I have ever met.

Decided to go by RDS but today was the latest I have ever gotten there - I may do this again!
Stopped at Marlins to get just one, Jack McKeon. Had him sign the 8x10 in silver & it looks amazing!
Cardinals
Carlos Beltran, signed 8x10. This is the first time anyone has ever seen him stop at the parking lot gate as he was leaving. The guards were in shock and didn't know what to do when he stopped, rolled the window down & started signing.
Willie McGee, signed 8x10.
Daniel Descalso, signed 8x10.
Matt Adams, signed 8x10.
Michael Wacha, signed 8x10.
Randy Choate, signed 8x10 of pic I took of him in SF when the Marlins played the Giants. I reminded him that he was goofing around by throwing the ball over the stadium roof. He remebered that it was a cold & rainy miserable day. He's glad that he is playing with the Cards now!
Didn't have anything but a few ICs but I got Ron Wolf (ex-Packers GM) & Todd Worrell. LOL - Worrell was just walking along & I was the only person who recognized him...

That McKeon looks great, also interesting about Kotchman being so nice, when he was with Cleveland last year, he was a weird guy saying that the manager said he couldn't sign during batting practice (as Manny Acta was signing for us).

Wow Beltran signed.. maybe Pujols being away is showing the true colors of the Cardinals? He was sort of an ™™™ lol

He was super nice to me. Maybe he knows this is his last team...
Just because Beltran signed today doesn't change how he really is. IMO, Pujols & Beltran are both equally egotistical players, who feel that fans are beneath them type of guys. I can only tell by previous years of ST but since Pujols left, I can see the change in the team being more friendly towards the fans. Pujol was starting to affect Yadier & other players. This is now Yadi's Team & even Beltran can not influence how the players are all much more engaging with the fans during ST.
