TTM Address Needed for Brian Downing

Inspired by Mike's incredible thread, I've decided to try and get my childhood hero on his RC. If anyone has had any success with a TTM for former Angel & Ranger, Brian Downing, please drop me a line.

Thanks.

    Dont hold your breath for him to return a TTM to you. He is very elusive. He used to be a good signer about 10 years ago, now pretty much nothing. Good luck if you try.

    Thanks Yankeeno. Looks like that address has poor results from what I found online. Has anyone else had success with any other address?

    Thanks

    One of my favorites too! image

    In my mind, Downing is the first "Juicer".

    He was the first one I could remember talking about it.... But back then early 80's, no one cared much.... like they should now.

    I also remember he could bench 405 lbs (4 plates) multiple times.... and his unusual extremely open stance was because of his glasses....... so he got a better look with both eyes on a pitch.

    There are some great articles about how much this guy used to work (Juice or not) to resurrect his career in the early 80's. I always loved the way he looked pissed when he came to the plate and the Superman theme they would play at the Big A.

    If anyone has anything Downing related -- autos, jerseys, bats, etc -- please PM me.

    Also, still looking for an address with TTM success.
  • Brian Downing was probably a Steroids pioneer and probably helped introduce Jose Canseco and Juan Gonzalez and Pudge Rodriguez and Palmeiro to the roids. Texas was a team of Roid users. Downing became a very good power hitter being only 5'10". The had a bodybuilder look when McGwire was just a tall skinny guy and Canseco when could steal bases. Google Brian Downing a the first thing comes up Steroids. The guy was a better ballplayer in his mid to late 30's than he was in his mid to late 20's(usually the prime of a career). It looks like Brian Downing does not sign TTM, which is practically like every good Baseball Player. Baseball is the absolute worst sport TTM. Even Semistars don't sign and mediocre players Want $.
