October 13

Been a while since anything came back, but today I got a return from former Phillies catcher Mike Liberthal and his 150 career jacks.

October 3

Got back former Astros/Tigers catcher and current Tigers manager Brad Ausmus and his 80 career home runs!

October 2nd

Got back another big time request today, from mega slugger Don Baylor!

Added his 338 home runs to my collection.

September 26

Got back two requests today:

Ron Gant
Charles Johnson

That adds 489 home runs to my total!

Pictures coming

September 24

Received back my Will Clark autograph today, adding 284 home runs to my total!

September 21

Sent three more requests out today, using up the last of my stamps!

Mike Lieberthal (150) - Longtime Phillies catcher signs from his home in California

Aubrey Huff (242) - Former Rays slugger has been a good signer for many years, apparently he includes a signed letter as well!

Danny Tartabull (262) - Signs from his apartment in California

Today's requests add up to 654 home runs!

September 19

Sent two more out today:

Don Baylor (338) - A top 100 home run hitter of all time, Don Baylor is the current hitting coach for the LA Angels, and a great signer as well.

Bo Hart (4) - Not a power hitter, but went to my alma mater and is a good signer from his home in Memphis.

3,323 total home runs out on request.

September 17

Received two and sent out two today. Received a pair of Angels players, as CJ Cron and David Murphy both responded.

Sent two more out today:

Ron Gant (321) - Signs from the studio in Atlanta that he works for.

Ed Sprague (152) - Signs from the University of the Pacific, where he is the head coach.


Total requests out: 2981 Home Runs.

82 Home runs away from 5,000. Calling Gabe Kapler, Trevor Plouffe, or Bubba Trammell to the stand!

September 15

No new requests today, but I sent out one more. I have stamps left for seven more requests, so hopefully I can find some big power hitters to send to!

Charles Johnson (167) - The former great defensive catcher is listed as being a great signer from his home in Florida.

September 14

Got back two requests today:

Tom Brookens (71)

Matt Stairs (265)

Adds 336 bombs to my total!


(Only 211 Home runs away from 5,000. If anyone has a Kevin McReynolds, Bill Skowron or Leon Wagner autograph, I could hit exactly 5000)

September 9

Got back my Greg Gagne request yesterday, adding 111 home runs to my total!

Sent out 1 request today:

Vernon Wells (270) - Former Blue Jays slugger is a great signer from his Texas home.

August 28

Using the last of my stamps to send out one more request, this may be my last one for a while but hopefully I'll start seeing some of these come back!

Jim Price (18) - Former Tigers backup catcher and current color commentator.

August 27

2 more going out today, bringing my total on the week up to 16 total requests! I haven't seen any back yet, but I expect them to start trickling in in the next few weeks.

David Murphy (101) - Current LA Angels left fielder has been a good signer throughout his career.

Cecil Cooper (241) - Former Brewers great, has always been a good signer as well.

My total home run # that is out on request currently is: 2,617

August 26

Sending three more out today.

Charlie Blackmon (43) - Charlie is still a great signer, despite being a rising star for the Rockies. 43 Home runs so far, could be quite a few more before his career is over.

Jed Lowrie (61) - He's from near my hometown, and has always been a good signer. If he can stay healthy, another 100 or so home runs is not out of the question for Jed.

Greg Gagne (111) - One of the best signers in the business, hard to pass up adding 111 home runs to the total!

August 24

I decided to go big today, sending out four requests, all to players who are in the top 200 all time in Home runs, two in the top 100. Only McGwire is a risky move, the other three have all been historically great signers!

Sent out for 8/24:

Matt Williams (378) - Current coach of the Washington Nationals, 72nd all time in Home Runs

Will Clark (284) - Works for the SF Giants, always has been an excellent signer

Mark McGwire (583) - Longshot, but there have been some successes from the Dodgers with McGwire. And it's hard to pass up the chance to get 583 home runs added to my collection, good for tenth most all time.

Matt Stairs (265) - Excellent signer through the Phillies, and one of the most powerful players of his generation

August 22

Two more requests sent out today:

Brad Ausmus (80 Home runs) - not exactly a power hitter, but manages my favorite team and is known as a great signer.

Randy Wolf (5 Home runs) - I also collect Tiger pitcher autographs, and Randy is making his debut for the Tigers this afternoon, he's known as a great signer as well so hopefully I will see these both back soon!

Welcome!

I am attempting to collect 10,000 Major League home runs via autograph through the mail. My collection so far can be viewed on the "Collection" page. Here I will track my successes and what cards I have sent out. Any suggestions or comments can be made in the comments on these pages, thank you!

Waiting on: Rusty Greer (119), Tom Brookens (71), CJ Cron (20), John Olerud (255) = 465 total HR
