Destin Hood

Destin Hood was attending a youth baseball clinic at the University of Tampa Baseball Fields on January 9, 2020.  Destin signed this 2011 Topps Pro Debut baseball card after the clinic had ended.

Mychal Givens

I met Mychal Givens on January 4, 2020 at Greco Park Softball Complex during what was supposed to be the 2020 Givens Back Blitzball Tournament. Unfortunately, the charity tournament had to be cancelled shortly after it began due to heavy rain. Mychal was busy trying to cater to everyone involved as the rain was undoubtedly on it's way. Shortly after the rain delay began, but before the cancellation, Mychal was kind enough to sign a 2019 Topps baseball card. First autograph to start off the year 2020!

Carlos Carrasco

On December 14, 2019, Carlos Carrasco was hosting a Toy Drive at a Harley Davidson dealership in New Port Richey, Florida. My brother Dan, My son and I each donated a toy and Carlos was very thankful and signed a baseball card for each of us. Carlos signed a 2018 Topps card for me, and my son and brother each had a 2016 Bunt card.

Tony Muser

I met Tony Muser on Saturday, November 23, 2019 at Pirate City, the Minor League training complex for the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, Florida. Tony was one of the participating instructors during a Men's Pro-Baseball Clinic. At first, my brother, Dan and I weren't 100% sure if it was him or not. I did a Google Image search for recent pictures, but still wasn't convinced. We could hear Tony give instructions to some of the players attending camp. My brother offered a suggestion to YouTube a video of Tony giving an interview from his managing days. Dan was half kidding, but I did and that solidified to me that this was in fact him. Tony signed a 1974 Topps baseball card as he was finishing his role for the day.

Will Venable

I met Will Venable on Saturday, November 23, 2019 at Pirate City, the Minor League training facility of the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, Florida. Will was one of the participating coaches during a Men's Pro-Baseball Clinic. Will signed this 2009 Topps baseball card as he was walking back to the clubhouse.

Ricky Romero

Ricky Romero signed this 2012 Topps baseball card on November 5, 2019 outside of the New York Yankees Minor League Complex in Tampa, Florida. Ricky was finishing up for the day as an instructor for a Toronto Blue Jays Fantasy Camp, hosted by Roberto Alomar and his company, Alomar Sports. The Blue Jays were using the Yankees complex because the Jays complex in Dunedin, Florida was under construction.

Candy Maldonado

I finally got the chance to meet Candy Maldonado on November 5, 2019 at the New York Yankees Minor League training facility in Tampa, Florida. Candy was attending the Toronto Blue Jays Fantasy Camp hosted by Alomar Sports. The Blue Jays camp was being held at the Yankees complex since the near by Blue Jays facilities were under construction. Candy signed a 1990 Upper Deck baseball card just before boarding the team bus. My brother was able to get Candy's autograph during Spring Training in 1992. I waited a long time to catch up!
