Gregg Zaun IP at Blue Jays game
My wife and I headed up to the July 2nd Jays game vs the Royals. We saw the Sportsnet broadcast setup out on the left field side so we headed down there to see it. Gregg and Jamie Campbell were preparing for the telecast but a security guard told us that if we come back between the 5th and 7th innings, we could get a picture and an autograph for a minimum $2 donation to the Jays Care foundation. What a great deal. Gregg is one of the only catchers in history to hit homeruns from both sides of the plate in the same game! We got a picture with him and I had him sign a baseball that I brought with me.

Kenny Hodge TTM Success
Mailed: 06/12/2012
Received: 07/03/2012
Days: 21
c/o: Home
Ken included a note with this one. I didn't realize that the Classic Ultimate Original 6 card had an error. On the front, is Ed Westfall, but is labelled Ken Hodge. On the back, it has a current head shot of Ken and all of his stats and info. So, he signed the back of the card for me anyway. I wish I would have known about that error. Anyway, the main reason I wrote him was to get the 01-02 Fleer Greats of the Game card signed.

Ryan Smyth TTM Success

c/o: Edmonton Oilers
I mailed Ryan a few years ago in Edmonton as well, and got a nice return then. I had these 2 jumbo cards sitting around and thought they would be neat to get signed. Edmonton players all typically send out their mail after the season is over, so I may see a few more of these roll in. Ryan has had a great career and I really hope he stays on in Edmonton. I think the Oilers will be a playoff team this year for sure with all of that young talent.
