Lenny Moore

Hall-of-Famer Lenny Moore had an illustrious 12-year career with the Baltimore Colts, winning two NFL Championships and making seven Pro Bowl teams.  He rushed for over 5000 yards and 63 touchdowns, and he racked up over 6000 receiving yards, catching 48 touchdowns.  That's 111 TDs in 12 years!  Not bad.  Somehow I didn't have a card of his so I sent him a Pro Football Hall of Fame card to sign, along with a $5 bill.  He signed that and gave me a signed card with him actually on it as well, along with a nice note.  Really awesome.  Thanks, Lenny!

Tony Times Two

I had to get my yearly allotment of three-time World Series Champion and Hall-of-Famer Tony La Russa, so I sent him two cards: one for each of the two different teams he led to the promised land.  La Russa is currently working in the Red Sox front office.  Thanks, Tony!
