2017 Spring Training success and discussion thread

[mas]

Kershaw can take up to a year to get back, but will sign. A-Rod signed for me last year. He's worth a shot. Lots of coaches and managers to pick from as well if you have older cards from when they played.

I tried Kershaw last year, even included a donation to Kershaw's Challenge.

No luck.

The check I wrote to his foundation was finally cashed in November. I did receive a donation statement for a tax deduction for my donation from the foundation last week, but still no autographed card.

Think it's worth sending Hendricks a WS ball? I saw all the successes from last year but I'm worried they are just gonna get pounded with fan mail.

I sent to Mr. Kershaw back in 2013 Spring Training and didn't receive a response for close to 18 months, but he came through. I'd feel pretty good about getting something since he cashed your check, but you may have to be patient, which sucks...

Please update if you have any success with Sandy Alomar Jr. or Bob McClure. I have never had TTM success with either of them.

Will do.

Pitchers and catchers around Valentine's Day, while everyone else reports a few days after. I would recommend start sending stuff out probably at least a week before reporting dates.
