November 29, 2010 - MVP

I was out of town from Tuesday through Saturday and so when I came back I had a full mailbox.  Stuffed in between Netflix, 10% off at Bed Bath & Beyond and credit card offers were four more responses!

Davey Johnson (Manager) - November 26, 2010 - Response time: 18 days

Teams (Player): Orioles, Braves, Giants, Phillies, Cubs
Teams (Manager): Mets, Reds, Orioles, Dodgers

Mr. Johnson was a four-time All-Star, three-time WS champion and won three Gold Gloves.  He was also the Manager of the year!  I thank him for signing.


Kent Tekulve (P) - November 26, 2010 - Response time: 9 days

Teams: Pirates, Phillies, Reds

Mr. Tekulve was an All-Star and a WS champion.


Gary Roenicke (OF) - November 26, 2010 - Response time: 14 days

Teams: Expos, Orioles, Yankees, Braves

Mr. Roenicke won the WS in 1983.


Fred Lynn (OF) - November 26, 2010 - Response time: 25 days

Teams: Red Sox, Angels, Orioles, Tigers, Padres

Mr. Lynn is easily my most impressive response so far.  He is my first ROY and my first MVP (both 1975), in addition to being a 9x All-Star and the MVP of both an All-Star game (1983) and an ALCS (1982).  Strangely Mr. Lynn did not sign my card.  I have no idea why but instead he enclosed a signed note card.  I thank him all the same for responding.
