Received one back from Pirates pitching prospect Mitch Keller in one month from the West Virginia Power:
Also attended an in-person signing with Indians legends (yes, legends!) Omar Vizquel and Carlos Baerga on Saturday, and came away with a signed baseball from both. Not going to post the pics here since they're IP successes, but photos are in the bucket for those interested in checking them out!

Congrats on getting Omar and Carlos!!! I have never got to see Omar in person, but Carlos was always great to fans! Class acts and great players!

Thanks! That was the first time I met Carlos, and he seemed like a good guy. He took some time to talk with everyone who came through the line and seemed genuinely interested. I had only met Omar once before when he was playing a couple games at the Indians' local Class A affiliate. He barely acknowledged the people he was signing for that day, but he signed what must have been several hundred autographs. Yesterday, he took some more time to talk with everyone and also seemed pleasant.
This crossed two big Tribe names off my list. Baerga was my favorite player as a kid, so that ball will have a nice spot on my shelf. Now I've just gotta chase down Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle (and not have him run me over with a car).

8x10s:
Dan Otero in 11 days c/o Cleveland Indians (Personalized without request...Go Tribe!)
Colby Lewis in four weeks c/o Texas Rangers (Included a cardboard backer which I did not send. USPS still bent the photo, but the effort was greatly appreciated!)

Mike Cameron in 11 days c/o Home
Also got an RTS from Jim Bouton's PO Box 188 address. Going to try the other address next week. Updates to follow!

Really cool success from yesterday. I sent Giants' SS prospect Christian Arroyo an Official Eastern League All Star Game baseball, and I mentioned in my letter I'm going to try to get it signed by several members of both All Star teams. Without my asking, Christian returned the ball signed by himself and Richmond teammates Ryder Jones and Tyler Beede, who also made the All Star game. Very excited about this one!

Thanks! I was really exited to get that back, especially since Ryder Jones doesn't appear to sign TTM if you look in the database.
