Willie McGinest

Willie McGinest won three Super Bowls and made two Pro Bowl teams during his 15-year NFL career, which spanned twelve years in New England and three in Cleveland.  He is one of the great defensive players from the Patriots dynasty.  He signed both cards I sent him.  Thanks, Willie!

Billy Bean

Billy Bean, not to be confused with A's GM Billy Beane, had a six-year MLB playing career for three teams, racking up about a season's worth of plate appearances.  After his playing career, he came out as gay, and he's served as MLB's Ambassador for Inclusion since 2014.  He signed his 1988 Topps Rookie Card that I sent him and also wrote a short note.  Thanks, Billy!

Bill Lee

Bill Lee won 119 games during his 14-year MLB career with the Red Sox and Expos.  In his ten years with the Red Sox, he won 94 games and made one all-star team.  He's known as Spaceman, which might explain why he added "Earth" under his signature.  Thanks, Bill!

Roberto Hernandez

Roberto Hernandez pitched for 10 teams over 17 years in the big leagues, making two all-star teams and racking up 326 Saves.  He signed all three cards I sent him, and I sent along one of the 1992 Topps Gold Winner Rookie Cards to Phillies reliever and avid collector Pat Neshek (hopefully there will be more to write on that one later...).  Thanks, Roberto!

Goose Gossage

Goose Gossage began his Hall of Fame career with the White Sox years before he became a legendary Yankee.  I sent him a Yankees card to sign a few years ago, so I decided to see if he would sign his 1973 Topps Rookie Card for me, and he did.  Thanks, Goose!

Dick Vitale

Dick Vitale coached in the NBA, but he's best known for his colorful personality and career in TV/broadcast, notably during March Madness.  He's so good at what he does, in fact, that it landed him a spot in the National Basketball Hall of Fame.  This one actually arrived right in the heart of March Madness.  He signed the card I sent and a postcard that he sent along about his podcast and website.  Awesome, baby!  Thanks, Dickie V!
