April 4, 2011

GOOOO BUTLER!!!!  After knocking off VCU Saturday night (which I admit was a little sad), my Butler Bulldogs are playing for the National Championship (again!) tonight!!!!  They're playing the evil UConn.  Go Dawgs!!!!

Lou Piniella (Manager) - April 1, 2011 - Response time: 11 days


Teams (Player): Orioles, Indians, Royals, Yankees
Teams (Manager): Yankees, Reds, Mariners, Devil Rays, Cubs

Sweet Lou!  Mr. Piniella was a terrific player in his own right.  Winner of the ROY, two World Series and an All-Star as a player, he also won a World Series as a Manager as well.  He is also one of the few people to win Manager of the Year in both leagues.  He really is one of the iconic managers of our generation.  I thank him very much for signing and wish him luck in his retirement.  As a Yankee, Evan and Mark get shout outs on this one!


Joe Johnson (P) - April 1, 2011 - Response time: 8 days


Teams: Braves, Blue Jays

Mr. Johnson had a short playing career but that doesn't diminish how much I appreciate him taking the time to sign.  I would like to recognize James.  Go Jays!


Ron Roenicke (OF) - April 1, 2011 - Response time: 147 days


Teams (Player): Dodgers, Mariners, Padres, Giants, Phillies, Reds
Teams (Manager): Brewers

Mr. Roenicke is the new manager of the Brewers so he took time out of his spring training schedule to sign.  I really appreciate it.  I sent his card out way back at the beginning of November, just three days after he was announced as the Brewers manager.  Thanks Mr. Roenicke.  Hello to Rosemary and Kristen.


Bruce Benedict (C) - April 2, 2011 - Response time: 26 days


Aside from bearing a striking resemblance to Frasier, Mr. Benedict was a two time All-Star for the Braves in 1981 and 1983.  I thank him very much for signing.
