Dan Wheeler

My son earned a spot on a travel ball baseball team. While attending one of his practices in Pinellas Park, Florida, we discovered that Dan Wheeler was a coach for the same travel organization, but for older kids. I walked over to my car, where I usually have all of my cards available for rare instances just like this and grabbed a card for my son and I. After my son's practice concluded on Thursday, August 29, 2019, my son and I approached Dan with our cards in hand and a sharpie ready to go! Dan was great! He congratulated my son on making the team and signed our cards. The card pictured, is a 2010 Upper Deck baseball card he signed for me.
