Newest additions
I now have 7 out of the 11 HRs that Gary hit off of Steve Carlton

Yeah, but what about Spring Training homers?

thekid8 · December 31, 2014 12:12PM

Here's the last project update for 2014 --- this quest has been super slow --- 2014 started off very nice but nothing until December. So to quench the itch I decided to go after some signatures of players that passed away before I started this.

23 out of Gary's 324 HRs were represented by guys that have passed and this summer I was able to pick up 10 items. I am not sure on how to combine them with my custom the sizes are inline with my custom size --- any ideas????

I still need the following 13

Victor Cruz
Nino Espinosa x 3
Ramon Hernandez
Rick Mahler
Lynn McGlothen x 4
Rod Scurry
Eddie Solomon x 2

Just when I thought the year would end without adding there was a few signings that I was able to get in on

I still need these 47

Joaquin Andujar x 2
Jay Baller
Steve Carlton x 4
John Denny
John Dopson
Juan Eichelberger
Atlee Hammaker
Andy Hassler
Andy Hawkins
Neal Heaton x 3
Scott Holman
Roy Lee Jackson
Mike Madden
Joe Magrane
John Martin
Greg Mathews x 2
Rick Matula
Butch Metzger
Randy Moffitt x 3
Randy O'Neal
Reggie Patterson
Alejandro Pena x 2
Mark Portugal
Jeff Robinson x 3
Nolan Ryan
Nolan Ryan
Dan Schatzeder
Tom Seaver
Rick Sutcliffe
Bruce Sutter x 2
Freddie Toliver
Ed Whitson
Todd Worrell
Oscar Zamora

Once again Happy New Year!!!!!
Mike

Was wondering where your status was on this~very cool! Perhaps you can get Ryan and Carlton at a signing?

cpamike · January 2, 2019 8:26AM

Does Ryan and Seaver not do very many signings as I would have thought you would have knocked those out by now? Of course, their signatures probably aren't cheap either.

Figuring either the expense of getting Carlton to sign all 11 or that he may limit the number of items he signs at one time. At least you are down to two now for him. Figuring you'll knock those ones out as soon as you catch wind of another signing.

Happy New Year Mike and best of luck continuing the project!!

This is the first time I have seen this thread. This is a great idea! I like how you have the cards from the year of the HR. Nicely done!

toadstrangler · January 4, 2019 1:07PM

Such a unique idea. Awesome stuff.

GreenSneakers · January 4, 2019 1:23PM

It would drive me nuts to do all the hard work you've done only to have John Candelaria keep signing in the wrong place.

Stone193 · January 4, 2019 2:24PM

Hiya Mike

Great to see this thread again!

I went thru and reacquainted myself.

My favorite? The notes sent by the pitchers to you.

Can't believe how close you actually are now. Best of luck - one of the better threads here.
