Top 10 For 2024

I sent out a good number of requests again this year, though significantly less than last year, managing 111 successful returns, bringing my all-time total over the last nine years to 1252!  I'm once again not putting anyone on the list who has been on it before, otherwise Wayne Gretzky would easily slot in at number one or two.  That being said, this year's Top Ten list includes zero basketball returns for the third year in a row, instead consisting of three baseball, three football, one hockey, one tennis, one swimming, and one non-sport return, which incidentally takes the top spot.  The list also includes three women.  Looking forward to 2025!  Happy New Year!
