Mike Laga

My dad's birthday is June 14th. He passed away on August 31, 2020. For his first birthday without him,  I came up with another TTM challenge for myself. This one I called "Dad TTM Project." On June 8, 2021, six days before his birthday, I sent birthday cards to eleven baseball players who also shared his birthday.

Here is the card that I sent to Mike Laga.

Sixteen days later my card came back signed.

Mike signed a 1986 Donruss card #578.

Phil Bradley

I met him at a Minor League game at Englebert Complex in Dunedin, Florida in 1994, when the GCL Cubs, whom he was managing, came to play the GCL Blue Jays.

When I showed up to this game, I wasn't aware that Phil Bradley was the manager and didn't have a card to get signed by him. Thankfully, there was a baseball card store within walking distance of the complex, so I headed over there and luckily found a card of him.

Phil signed a 1986 Donruss card #191.
