Another Racing signature, and I believe it completes the first father/son ATTM success for me. Kyle Petty followed in his father Richard Petty's footsteps but became a great racer himself as well. Thanks, Kyle! I'll display this card in my collection next to the one your father signed.

Aaron Nola
Aaron Nola is emerging as one of the better young pitchers in the game (and on my Fantasy Baseball team). Unfortunately, he's stuck on a not-so-great Phillies team this year, but it seems like a good bet that better days are ahead for him. I sent him a card to sign, and got back a signed photo from the Phillies. Presumably, he has signed a stack of photos and asked the team to reply to autograph requests with one. Thanks, Aaron!

Chicken Man
It's too great a thing to have not done more time: Buy Wade Boggs a beer ($5) and he'll sign your card. That's how I look at it, anyway. Apart from his Hall-of-Fame career and post-Championship horse ride in 1996, Boggs is best known for drinking beer (as well as eating chicken, hence the nickname). I'm a Yankees fan, so I had to try a Yankees card the first time, but this time I opted for a Red Sox card. As an avid sports card collector, getting back a signed iconic 1983 Topps Rookie Card made me smile even more than last time. Thanks again, Wade!

Mario Andretti
I do need to acquire more Racing cards at some point. These guys are the best at sending back autographs! Mario Andretti is an absolute legend! Everyone recognizes his name, which is even called out in "Uneasy Rider" by The Charlie Daniels Band. And we have yet another Italian-American sports legend here. Thanks, Mario!

Joe Torre
This one was well worth the wait (this is the first return that took over a year--I'll edit the previous entry that called it a loss and continue doing so if there are others like this). Joe Torre was a great player, a Hall-of-Fame Manager, and a legendary Yankee! He's currently serving as MLB's Chief Baseball Officer. I grew up watching his teams dominate. I love Joe. Thanks, paesan!
