I've been working on my Brewers TTM project, and will continue working on that, however I started thinking of doing another project that I think would be equally fun. I'm aiming at great performances, unique games, interesting plays etc. These can kinda range all over, but because guys like Jordan, Gretzky, and Koufax aren't really obtainable through the mail, I'm looking for examples similar to the following:

Josh Hamilton - 1st Round: 28 HRs (2008 derby)
Toby Hurrah - Doubleheader never making a defensive play (also was part of back to back in the park HR's)
Bert Campaneris - Playing all 9 positions
Tommie Frazier - The Run
Red Berenson - Double Hat Trick
Don Larsen - World Series Perfect Game

This can be all sports so feel free to think outside the box. I'll be sending these all out on index cards and hoping to get inscriptions of the date and the specific achievement, or play nickname, etc.

Thanks in advance, I have about 15 going out tomorrow so I'm hoping to get some scans up in the next few weeks.

    How about Bill Mazeroski and Joe Carter - only men to hit walk-off home runs to win the WS.

    Ron Hextall's goals would be cool.

    Bump. At Begsu, good idea on the color barrier. The only surviving for the big 4 is Willie O'Ree, who I have a letter ready to go out tonight.

    Hoping to get some other ideas from others, of all sports, including Olympics.

    Thanks again!

    Not sure they do this anymore, but I know that in the 70s and probably 80s, Topps had Highlights and Record Breaker cards, which often showed different records being broken that year. Example. Perhaps pick one of these subsets from a year you like, and try to get those cards signed.
