Jack McDowell

I mailed this Beckett Baseball Card Monthly magazine to Jack McDowell on December 31, 2025 along with $5, which I had heard is his standard autograph request fee. I was thrilled to receive it back on Friday January 9, 2026 for a quick turn-around! Black Jack won a Cy Young Award in 1993 capping his 22-Win season!

 

Bucky Irving

My son and I met Bucky Irving at an autograph signing event at Planet Fitness in Wesley Chapel, Florida on January 6, 2026. My son and I had each brought a specific 8x10 picture to get signed. We unfortunately were informed the moment it was our turn to meet him that no outside items were permitted and we had to settle on the pre-approved give-away photo provided by Planet Fitness. We are of course happy to add Bucky into our collections as he's an exciting player to watch, but were discouraged that our prepared items were turned away.
