My return to the hobby is off to a slow start with only one autograph and one fan pack received so far.
But I keep putting more cards in the mail.
First into the mailbox was a card to former Yankee Dale Berra. Included is a $5 donation.
Next in the mailbox is card and $5 donation to former Red Sox Mike Boddicker.
Also in the mail is my third attempt to former Yankee Tom Brookens.
I mailed Brookens on Sept. 23, 2013 and on July 21, 2015. Neither card ever came back. They say the third time is the charm.
Next in the mail is a card to former San Francisco Giant Jay Canizaro. He has 100 percent return rate listed, so hopefully my request won’t change that.
I then sent two cards to former Milwaukee Brewer Jaime Cocanower. He has a 99 percent return rate. Again I hope my request doesn't send that number plunging.
Hopefully some of these requests will be successful and help my rate of success improve.
• On the give up list, I’m adding a Dave Anderson. I mailed Anderson on Jan. 4, 2016.
• Julian Tavarez. I mailed him on Jan. 14, 2016.
• Bruce Fields. I mailed him on Feb. 15, 2016. He has a 98 percent success rate and is still signing from the same Detroit address. So maybe this one is lost in the mail.
Jose DeJesus. I mailed him on March 28, 2016. I sent the note all the way to Puerto Rico. My guess is, it didn’t make it.
Storm Davis. I mailed him on March 28, 2016. He also has a high rate of success. Will have to give him another sho
