Bob Tewksbury Responds to TTM Request after 2,104 Days

Former big league pitcher Bob Tewksbury returned my card signed after 2,104 days.
The success is now the longest wait since my success from GlennAllen Hill that took 1,285 days.
I mailed Tewksbury on March 29, 2011 and had given up on the card coming back. Tewksbury must have just now got around to his stack of mail because others are posting success who sent cards around the same time I did.
One collector notes his wait time was 2,165 days.
Other long wait times I have endured include Ray Fontenot, 918 days; Steve Trout, 897 days and Kevin Appier, 826 days.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Like many I have a collection of cards that I sort through in order to find the next successful TTM autograph.
However some of those players on the cards are no longer with us.
This week I pulled a Rod Beck baseball card.
Beck died on June 23, 2007 at the young age of 48.
The long time relief pitcher played for the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, and the San Diego Padres.
The cause of death was never confirmed but it was reported drugs were found in the home.
It is reported he was buried in his Chicago Cub uniform.
RIP Mr. Beck.
