Bobby Reed

In February of 2021, I decided to seek out an address for Bobby Reed. I discovered that he owned a home building company in Tennessee, so I sent him my card and the following letter.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at things, Mr. Reed was no longer at that address. 68 days later I received my card back with a note explaining that my letter could not be forwarded to his new address. Also included with that letter were two Yogi Berra baseball cards, one of which was signed and had a certificate of authenticity.

I found another address to try for Mr. Reed, so I wrote him a new letter and mailed it off the very next day.

Eighteen days later my card came back signed.

Bobby signed a 1992 Upper Deck Minor League card #232.

Jason Kendall

I met him at Jack Russell Memorial Stadium in Clearwater, Florida in 1996, when the Pittsburgh Pirates came to play the Philadelphia Phillies in a spring training game.
I was standing outside the visitor's side clubhouse entrance. A ten foot high fence separated me from the door, which was about 5 feet away. Jason opened the door from the inside with barely enough room for his head to peek out. He was obviously looking for someone or something. I recognized him immediately and called out his name. He looked at me surprised and asked, "how'd you know it was me?" as he walked on over. I told him that I study these cards so that I can recognize players without having to see their jersey numbers or names on the back.

Jason signed a 1992 Upper Deck Minor League card #14.
