Non HOF Autographs: Kelly Gruber, Devon White, Ed Sprague, Tom Henke





Several months ago I decided to try and get signatures for every card in this set of McDonald's/Donruss baseball cards from the early 90s. It depicts great moments from the Blue Jays history leading up to their 1992 World Series Championship.

Over the holidays I added a few cards from an eBay seller, then got a surprise when Kelly Gruber returned a request from several months ago! I now have extras from a few cards, but that's okay!

I'm up to 23 autographed cards from the 36 card set (35 player/moment cards plus the checklist).

Four Inducted to the Hall

The Hall of Fame announced on Wednesday that Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman were elected by Baseball Writers as this year's inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Vladdy is someone I've already pursued, but I have yet to try any of the others. I'll have to send out a request in the coming weeks (even though all four have a pretty poor track record of responding to TTM requests).
