Lizard-JD IP & TTM Requests

Of all the stadiums in Major League Baseball, but I have to put the new Marlins stadium at the top of my list ones places I'd like to visit. That says something, as Progressive Field in Cleveland is the only MLB park I've been too.

You would not be disappointed. I have watched on TV the few home games they have played so far but being there IP was incredible! What they show on TV does not do it justice. Not a bad view from anywhere around the entire ballpark. I think I took at least 100 pics (some will be getting signed - LOL!). I already have tickets for the Pirates & Braves games that are coming up...

Maybe someday I can make it down there...at least I hope so! Do we get to see some new Mujica pics that are going to be signed? You've got some awfully sweet stuff of his done.

LOL - Yeah, I have one of him and Carlos Marmol talking that I think looks pretty cool...

Figured I would post a few pics from the Marlins new ballpark. If this is wrong, let me know & I will delete the pics:

Looking towards CF

The HR Sculpture

Soriano warming up

Garza shooting the breeze

Carlos Marmol & Eddie Mujica talking

Nolasco getting ready for 1st pitch

Nolasco pitching (pic from CF)

LoMo with a swing & miss (that's the aquarium behind him!)

Giancarlo Stanton aka "The Beast" in RF

Heath Bell getting his 2nd save

Thanks! I'll be surprised if you don't get your items back from Heath Bell soon. He & LoMo are without a doubt the best signers on the Marlins.

Another good TTM Monday but first the bad.

Uwe Von Schamann, failure. Sent him a custom 8x10; he sent it back with my letter in my SASE unsigned. That's exactly what Oscar Robertson did to me a couple of times but at least the Big O is a HOF'er and a historic NBA player. But Uwe, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Lawrence Taylor, previously signed by Bill Parcells (IP). Sent to HOF.


Bob Kuzava, personalized. Happy to get this back so quickly from a WS Champ.


Bobby Shantz, included all the inscriptions I asked him to include. Mr. Shantz has been one of my all-time favorite TTM'ers for a long time!


Carl Scheib, signed both of my CICs plus an IC I had used to separate them.


Bobby "Hooks" Wanzer, signed it but it took 8 months. I thought it was a goner but I was very pleased when I opened the folder and saw it!

Had to dig to find my thread - just got back from a two week vacation in CA. Caught the Marlins vs. Giants on May 3rd at ATT Park in SF (no graphing, just pics!). Found these TTMs waiting for me when I returned last night.

First the most weird failure I have ever had. Mel Renfro (after 3 years & 4 months!!!!), received my cards back & a letter from Liz Renfro that he requires $20 per sig - ™™™? You can find his sig for less than $5...

Johnny Depp, signed my pic; very pleasant surprise from one of my favorite actors. He plays the most diverse roles of any modern day actor!


Hector Lopez, signed my ROMLB - another participant in the 1960 WS ( I now have 18 Yankees sigs on ROMLBs from that WS).


Del Crandall, signed my pic (+$5).


Bud Harrelson (rookie pic), personalized my pic with requested inscriptions.


Adam Jones, signed my pic - Orioles are not my team but I love the way this dude plays!


"Concrete Charlie" Bednarik, signed my pic of him looking at a pic of Frank Gifford in the hospital with requested inscription (+$5). One of my all-time favorite TTM'ers & NFL HOF'er!


John Bucyk, signed my pic - a great HOF'er.


Emile "Cat" Francis, signed my pic & added a nice TY note on my letter.


George Foreman, signed a better pic that I found of him (+$5).

Nice stuff! Even though as a Giants fan there's nothing worse than thinking about that hit on Gifford... :(
