Steve Trout Success After 897 Days

My latest TTM success is from former MLB pitcher Steve Trout and it took 897 days. Yes, 897 days.
I mailed Trout a 1988 Donruss card on Dec. 16, 2013 and it came back to me June 1, 2016 signed.
Trout also enclosed a flyer promoting a book he has co-authored with Marlene Matthias called Loosey-Goosey Baseball.
According to the flyer the pair will appear at banquets, day care centers, schools and boys and girls clubs.
For more information visit www.troutbaseballacademy.com
You may be shocked that 897 days is not my longest wait to receive a TTM.
Ray Fontenot took 918 days and Glenn Allen Hill took 1,285 days.
Can’t say it enough, never give up. 
I also received my card back from former catcher MLB  catcher Mark Parent.
I mailed Parent on May 16, 2016 at the Lakewood Blueclaws address in New Jersey.
The card came back unsigned with my note and the envelope appears to have suffered some trauma.
I think I’m filing it back in the stack as if it never happened and will try again another day.

Eddie Carnett, Oldest Living former MLB Player responds to TTM Request










(UPDATE)
Carnett died on Nov. 4, 2016, two weeks after turning 100.)

RINGLING, OK. — The oldest living former Major League Baseball player Eddie Carnett and family is responding to fan mail
The 99-year-old Carnett, who will turn 100 on Oct. 21, is a former resident of my home town and wasted no time in responding to my request.
According to Ponca City News archives, Carnett was born on Oct. 21, 1916 in Springfield, Mo.
The family, his parents Jesse and Velma Carnett, a brother, Charles and a sister, Maxine, moved to Ponca City, Oklahoma where Eddie would become prominent in sports at Ponca City High School.
According to The News time line, Carnett pitched in Tulsa in 1937, in Los Angeles in 1938, with the Chicago Cubs in the National League and the Milwaukee Brewers in the American Association in 1939, with the Kansas City Blues in the American Association in 1940, with the Newark Bears of the International League in 1941, with the Seattle Raniers of the Pacific Coast League in 1942 and 1943, and then back to the Big Leagues with the White Sox in 1944 and the Cleveland Indians in 1945.  And according to the time line, he went into the U. S. Navy in 1946.  The time line missed two games that he played with the Boston Braves in 1941.
I sent a note and autograph request to Carnett on May 16.
On May 27 I received a letter from Carnett’s family, a reproduction of the 1941 War Years photo  featuring 1941 Boston Bee rookie pitchers, George Barnicle, Bob Williams, Frank LaManna, Art Johnson, Carnett, and manager Casey Stengel; Carnett’s autograph, and the three items sent were returned autographed.
In the letter, the family explains that the team was known as The Boston Bees until May 12, 1941, when they became The Boston Braves.
The letter states, Carnett doesn’t write many letters, but does still sign a few balls and cards.
A great success and addition to my collection.

Two More TTMs from Spike Owen

I recently received two more autographs from Spike Owen after a 478 day wait.
It is the second success I have recorded from Owen. It seems I had given up on these cards and mailed him another one after seeing success posted.
That card came back in a short seven days. So I figured these were gone, but here they are.
Again, I have to say, never give up.

Brad Komminsk TTM arrives after 677 day wait, Gerald Young and Steve Balboni also respond

In the mailbox this week were autographs from Gerald Young, Steve Balboni and former Atlanta Brave Brad Komminsk.
All three took some time to arrive.
It took Young 71 days to respond and Balbon 30 days.
But Komminsk was an incredible 677 day wait!
Again reminding fans to never give up.
I sent two cards to Komminsk on June 23, 2014 with Atlanta Brave address labels.
The cards returned on April 29, 2016.
It is an incredible wait but not the longest one.
It took a Tim Leary autograph 680 days to arrive, Kevin Appier 826 days, Ray Fontenot, 918 and GlennAllen Hill, 1,285 days to respond.
Again never give up.

Stairs and Meulens Come Through

Matt Stairs and  Hensley Meulens are my latest TTM successes.
Stairs was a 148 day wait.
He was one of my favorite players so glad the card showed up.
Meulens took 22 days.
His signature seems to has life as he adds Sir and Bam Bam to his autograph.
Glad to add these two cards to the growing collection.
