Atlanta Braves TTM Successes and Failures



ATLANTA, Ga. — Former Atlanta Braves Ron Gant and Mike Bielecki are now additions to my through the mail autograph collection while former Brave Jimmy Kremers is not.
Bielecki returned my card in a short five days while Gant returned my card in 11 days.
I also received what the Braves call a Fan Pack.
My request was honored after 67 days with a letter, sticker and a schedule.
It doesn’t compare to what the Braves used to send. In the “old days” the Braves sent a pack of Turner Field dirt and a Tim Hudson card. 
Those were the days.
An attempt to gain an autograph from Kremers failed as the card came back marked return to sender.
Kremers played for the Braves in 1990 and later was traded to the Montreal Expos for Otis Nixon.
He never played in the big leagues again.

Fred Lynn TTM Success

CARLSBAD, CA . — Former Baltimore Oriole Fred Lynn is quick through the mail signer.
He returned my TTM request in a short 11 days.
What Lynn doesn’t do is sign your card.
Instead he signs a blue index card for you. 
According to the posts on https://www.sportscardforum.com/ there are very few who get their cards signed.
Still a success though in my opinion.

Pokey Reese TTM Success

HOPKINS, S.C. — Former Cincinnati Reds shortstop Pokey Reese returned my signed baseball card in 71 days.
This was my second attempt to obtain a TTM autograph from Reese.
The first attempt was mailed in 2012 to North Carolina.
That card never found its way back home.
But this one did and I’m glad to add it to the growing collection.

St. Louis Cardinals Fan Pack Success






BUSCH STADIUM — A tip of the cap goes to the St. Louis Cardinals who are still providing fans with a great fan pack.
It took the organization 16 days to respond to my request for a Fan Pack.
Unlike other big league clubs who may only offer digital packs or nothing, the Cardinals came through with cards of Carlos Martinez, and Matt Carpenter. Also a 2016 Topps 5x7 Baseball Card of Michael Wacha, a sticker and nice thank you note.
Thank you Cardinals for still appreciating the fans.

Other clubs who have responded to my fan pack requests include the Houston Astros and Oakland A’s.

Juan Samuel TTM Success

Philadelphia, PA — This year got off to a great start with many through the mail autograph request successes. Many of the cards returned had been gone from home for a long time including Ken Howell whose card came back to me after 2,755 days.
http://mlbttmautographs.blogspot.com/2018/04/ken-howell-autograph-arrives-after.html

Dwayne Henry returned my card back to me signed this year after a 689 day wait.

Keith Lockhart returned my signed card after 1,436 days.

Another long time wait came to an end this year as Juan Samuel returned my TTM request after 703 days.

In recent weeks the returns have slowed down. But this year’s successes have proven that sometimes good things come to those who wait.

Former Atlanta Braves Highlight my first MiLB game

Former Atlanta Brave Gregor Blanco bats with former
Brave Christian Bethancourt  behind the plate.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - My first trip to a minor league baseball game occurred on June 9, 2018 in Sacramento, Cailf. as the Colorado Sky Sox defeated the Sacramento River Cats 7-2 at Raley Field.

The trip was unplanned and came as a surprise.
It was my first time visiting the state of California.


I’m not a huge fan of minor league baseball but I do think I have a new appreciation for it now.

The highlights for me was the fact that three former Atlanta Braves were on the field.
Christian Bethancourt was behind the plate for Colorado.
He went 1-for-4 with a double, RBI and a walk.
Playing for the hometown River Cats were former Braves Gregor Blanco and Chase d’Arnaud.

Blanco went 0-for-4 while d’Arnaud mimicked Bethancourt by going 1-for- 4 with a double and RBI.
Milwaukee Brewer Eric Thames was on the field that night for Colorado Springs.
I recognized him as a former Major Leaguer and the next week when I got home, he was back in the big leagues.
That night however he was in the minors and led the12 hit night for the Sky Sox with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored.
Seeing those players were the highlights for me but I’m sure some of the other players will make the big leagues too if they haven't already.

Other highlights of the experience included purchasing a set of River Cats’ baseball cards and a fireworks show that provided an awesome photo opportunity.

The downside, their Cracker Jacks were way over priced.

Houston Astro Fan Pack Success

HOUSTON, Texas — In addition to through the mail autographs, seeking fan packs from teams can also be rewarding.
The Houston Astros is one of handful of teams I have recently received a fan pack from.

I sent a Fanpack Request postcard found at 

to the Astros and 11 days later I received a sticker, schedule, and oversize cards of Jake Marisnick and Roger Clemens.


Not bad and quick response too.
