TTM #15- A Big Surprise!!

Hey guys, Drew back here. On a sad day in baseball, I got a nice TTM back. That side day is because big name prospect Stephen Strasburg will undergo Tommy John surgery, and will be out for at least 12 months, which means no pitching next year most likely. Many pitchers have had the surgery before, and there is an 85% recovery rate. 10 2010 All Stars have had the surgery before, and many other pitchers have came out better than ever. Maybe this guy will too:

JOE NATHAN

I've had a knack of sending cards to players at the worst times. I sent to Pat Neshek to the Twins, but he was actually hurt rehabbing in the minors at the time, and I didn't get back for a long while. I just recently sent to Jeremy Hellickson to the Rays, and he got sent down immediately after, but will be back up soon. Now there's Joe Nathan, who I sent to just before he underwent Tommy John surgery. Way to go Drew! I'm pretty sure it was sent late last season but it could've been spring training, I don't remember offhand, but let's just say it took a while. I was worried I may never see my cards again, but I did thankfully, returning today after months of waiting.

Mr. Nathan kindly signed 3 cards for me, including his Fleer Tradition RC with the Giants, a 2009 Goodwin Champions, and a 2008 Upper Deck. His signature is just as nice as before, and I'm really happy he could return to me! Thanks Joe and good luck next year!

Have you guys ever had almost tragic mistakes in the TTM business? Don't be scared, I don't bite, and leave some stories in the comments! See Ya!

Workin....

Hey guys, Drew back here, after just making a huge list of baseball players who sign Through the Mail. That is my general topic of the day today, as I just put up a new poll, who is the best current TTM signer. You may not be a part of TTM's, but they are great. A dollar for autographs? That's a fantastic deal! Anyway, I made the list on Microsoft Word, so if you would like a copy of it please email me at yanks1996wsc@gmail.com and I'll send you it. I forgot to mention in there that some retired and Hall of Famers (and Andrew Miller) charge money for autographs. Harmon Killebrew charges the most, about $65 an auto, and Yogi Berra charges between $30 and $50, and I'm going to send to him soon. Anyway, this poll is between:

Joe Nathan, Twins All Star Closer


Mark Buehrle, White Sox Starter


Pat Neshek, Twins Pitcher


Garret Anderson, Braves Outfielder (photo from OMG autos)


Michael Cuddyer, Twins, Outfielder

So we now also know the Twins are the best signing team. Fransisco Liriano and Kevin Slowey also sign, and former Twinkies David Ortiz, and A.J. Pierzynski also occasionally sign! Who will win? Vote vote vote and we'll find out! See Ya!
