Top 10 for 2016

Well, it's been many months since I sent out any autograph requests, and nearly two months since I got one back, but I'll send some out early in 2017, probably largely on a day when I'm snowed-in.  At the end of January, I'll start reporting failures where a year has lapsed without a response as well.  Meanwhile, here's my Top 10 list out of the 56 ATTM I've gotten in 2016!

10: Goose Gossage (MLB HOFer and legendary Yankees reliever!)
9: Bobby Doerr (the oldest living MLB HOFer at 98 and still signing through the mail!)
8: Dirk Nowitzki (among the greatest to ever play in the NBA!)
7: Kurt Warner (one of my favorite QBs ever, a Christian, and a great guy off-the-field!)
6: Bob Lilly (one of the top few defensive players ever to play in the NFL!)
5: Terry Bradshaw (the first QB to win four Super Bowls and a great personality!)
4: Troy Aikman (my favorite QB growing up and a three-time Super Bowl Champion!)
3: Hideki Matsui (a hard signature to obtain, and the 2009 World Series MVP!)
2: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Roger Murdock--also the all-time NBA scoring leader!)
1: Shaquille O'Neal (the man, the myth, the legend--one of the greatest of all-time!)
