April 15, 2011

Happy Tax Day!!! 

Okay, I admit.  There's nothing happy about tax day, except that I got two more cards, and contemporary autograph as well!  I'll start with the later first.

Adam Lind (1B/OF/DH) - Toronto Blue Jays


Adam is not a player from the 1988 set but before I started this project I sent out requests to a number of current players.  Very few have responded but Adam Lind did!  Adam has played for Toronto his entire career and has been a solid member of several past fantasy baseball teams for me.  I thank him very much for responding.  A special shout out for James.  Go Jays!


Alan Ashby (P) - April 14, 2011 - Response time: 170 days



Teams: Indians, Blue Jays, Astros

Mr. Ashby breaks the record for the longest response time for the third time in a week.  He is also my first response from another country (Canada).  He is a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame and a member of the Houston Astros All Time Team.  A special shout to my granddad; my favorite Astros fan.  Mr. Ashby is the current radio play-by-play man for the Toronto Blue Jays.  I thank him very much for responding. 


Keith Comstock (P) - April 14, 2011 - Response time: 121 days


Teams: Twins, Yomiuri Giants (Japan), Giants, Padres, Mariners

I would like to thank Mr. Comstock very much for signing.
