Shane McClanahan

This one I truly wasn't expecting and was very grateful to obtain! On February 15, 2025 Shane McClanahan signed a 2023 Topps baseball card for me after he was finishing up at the Tampa Bay Rays Fan Fest at the St. Pete Pier. The left-handed ace is a tough autograph to get. From what I've seen, he's happy to take pictures with fans but tends to shy away once autographs are requested. There was a small group waiting for Shane after he finished with his Fan Fest duties. The group approached him when he came into a common area with the general public. He signed a card for my son, and then for me, which surprised me! The times he's been known to sign, it's hardly ever for adults.
Glad to have him in my collection and even more happy to not have to try for him again! 
Big thanks to Shane!!

Starling Marte

I met Staring Marte on Saturday May 4, 2024 at Tropicana Field when the New York Mets came to play the Tampa Bay Rays. Starling signed a 2023 Topps baseball card prior to the game from inside the ballpark.
