John Grubb TTM Success

Former Detroit Tiger John Grubb returned my 1988 Score card signed in a short 13 days.
Grubb is batting a 100 percent on returning autographs according to 
However the news isn’t as good on Dave Righetti as I’m now 0 for 2.
I mailed Righetti a few years back and the card never came back.
I tried again this year and the mail came back return to sender.
He seems to be hit and miss, so maybe a third time will be the charm.

Throwing in the Towel on Some TTM Requests








Some TTM successes take time such as Bob Tewksbury who took 2,104 days to return my request and Keith Lockhart who took 1,436 days just to name a couple.
But some cards just never come back and the following cards are still gone.

Don Schulze
Like other fans I sent a request to Schulze at the Midland Rock Hounds address in 2013 after seeing recorded TTM success.
No success for Schulze has been recorded since 2014.

Steve Wilson
I sent a card to the former Chicago Cub pitcher in 2013 and the card seems to be long gone.
No success has been recorded for Wilson since 2013.

Tim Teufel
I sent a card to the former New York Met in 2014 to Jupiter Florida and it seems it became of victim of postage shuffle.
Teufel has success recorded from many addresses including minor league teams. The most recent success recorded is from Citi-Field. He will go on he retry list.

Davey Johnson
I mailed Johnson at the Washington National’s address in 2014 after seeing success recorded. My card did not fall into that category.
However there are many successes recorded for Johnson already in 2018 from a  Florida address so he too is on the retry list.

Willis Otanez
I mailed the former Baltimore Oriole/Toronto Blue Jay at the Long Island Duck address in 2014. There were no and still are no success recorded for him. I took a chance and so far it has not panned out.

Keith Lockhart Responds to TTM Request

It was a long wait, a 1,436 day wait to be exact but it was worth it. That is how long it took former Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals infielder  Keith Lockhart to return my TTM autograph request.

I mailed Lockhart on Feb. 1, 2014 and the card came back on Jan. 16, 2018. Considering the ups and downs his family has faced in that time span, I’m shocked the card came back, but absolutely thrilled that it did.
Thank You Mr. Lockhart.

Loretta, Prince, and Williamson Round Out 2017 TTM Successes

I fell behind this year on requesting autographs through the mail, but that didn’t stop the flow of autographs that arrived. The last three received this year wrapped up some lengthy waits. 

Former San Diego Padre Mark Loretta took 691 days to return my signed card. 

Coming in after 412 days is former Pittsburgh Pirate Tom Prince and former Baltimore Oriole Mark Williamson who took 453 days.

Sadly I must remove former Baltimore Oriole and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Todd Frohwirth from the no response list as he lost his battle with cancer this year. RIP in Todd.

A goal for 2018, mail more autograph requests.
