When Rick Ankiel was just coming up I sent him a copy of the Beckett he was on the cover of. I didn't even have his address, so I just sent it to the Cardinals. To my surprise, he sent it back to me with a nice signature. It's too bad he didn't pan out, but it shows his character even then when he was on top of the world.

A few years ago I also sent Don Mattingly some items from Don Mattingly Day at Yankee Stadium, a ticket and a couple of 8 x 10's the Yankees handed out at the stadium for the event. He signed everything. It made me happy that my favorite player as a kid was a stand up guy too.

Last year I sent David Price tickets from his ML debut against the Yankees. I sent them to the Rays but have never seen them again. Wish I could have those back.
