Thanks for offering to help.

These are the problems childs that I'm kinda sorta focussing on right now. I have tried all of them c/o and some with various teams without success. PLMK if you know of any businesses, foundations, charities, websites, etc. that they may sign through for a donation, fee or free.

I have tried all of them via their home already.

Sorry if I made ya mad- just saving you the time of posting home addresses that I already have via the Meisselman list. I appreciate the offer.

You stated that in one of your earlier posts so it's not your fault.
The bottom line is that a lot of those guys just don't do TTM.

I don't know if you are new to TTM or not but you'd be surprised how many players that don't sign c/o home, team or HOF there are who are on some obsure board of trustees, have an office at some company that rents their image that they may go to once a month, have their own personal business or restaurant, etc. and when you write to them there they sign.

For instance, I got Hank Aaron (normally charges $100 TTM/IP) and Ernie Banks (Charges $30 TTM/IP) for free when I sent to them c/o the Negro League Museum. They are both board members there. I sent both at the same time and got both back at the same time about 4 months later. Presumably the requests were either forwarded to them or more likely held for them until their next meeting in KC.

These are the kind of things that I am looking for.

Very interesting. Maybe I should be hitting you up for some addresses!

Hi there,

I really admire anyone who attempts such a monumental task of obtaining all of these autographs. My hats off to you!

I noticed Tommy Lasorda is on your list. Tommy Lasorda is being inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame this summer and there is an autograph session after his induction. The fee usually isn't a lot, $20 max. You might want to try contacting the Hall through their website at:

I know they have done mail orders in the past. They have also had some great people signing there in the past. A couple of years ago when Andre Dawson was inducted, there was an autograph line where you could pay $10 and get an autograph from each of Dawson, Tony Perez and Fergie Jenkins. Last year, their autograph session included Dave Stieb, Steve Rogers and Fergie Jenkins. This January they had an event where you paid $20 and you got food, as well as an opportunity to meet and get an autograph from Larry Walker and Orlando Hudson. Pretty darn great!

Thanks for the heads up. I honestly didn't know that Canada has a baseball HOF.
