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!
10: Summer Sanders (Olympic Swimmer and TV Personality)
9: Manon Rheaume (She played in the NHL during the preseason in the 90s)
8: Andre Dawson (I got Baseball HOFer Hawk tuah times this year)
7: Jim Leyland (I got two returns from the new HOF Manger this year as well)
6: Bill Parcells (One of the great NFL Coaches of all-time)
5: Steve Largent (Got a signed rookie card from a great HOF Wide Receiver)
4: Jim Palmer (The HOF Pitcher signed for me twice this year)
3: Anna Kournikova (Did anyone not have a crush on this former tennis player and model?)

1: Dick Van Dyke (This legendary actor just turned 99 years old- amazing!)
