I came back from another weekend away to three more cards, including my first Blue Jay and Red!

Jimmy Key (P) - January 24, 2011 - Response time: 12 days

Teams: Blue Jays, Yankees, Orioles

Mr. Key is a personal favorite of my friend James so I am very happy to have gotten a response from him.  He was a 4x All-Star and twice World Series Champion (1992, 1996).  He was also named TSN's pitcher of the year twice as well.  I thank him very much for signing.  He is the first Blue Jay I have received.


Ron Oester (2B) - January 24, 2011 - Response time: 47 days

Teams: Reds

Mr. Oester was a member of the 1990 Cincinnati Reds team the upset and swept the defending WS champion Oakland A's.  It was his last season and he got his ring.  I thank him for signing.


Jeff Ballard (P) - January 24, 2011 - Response time: 32 days

Teams: Orioles, Pirates

Mr. Ballard is from Billings, MT (one of my favorite places). The high point in his career came in 1989, when he finished 6th in the voting for the Cy Young Award.  I thank him for signing.
