Well it's snowing like it's winter again up here. Luckily I only have 2 days till I head south. But the weather forcast for Chicago the day we fly in is for thunderstorms and Northern Wisconsin ain't much better. Anywho, I was pleasently surprised to find one of my TTM return envelopes in my mailbox this afternoon. With a return address from Pittsburgh. I wasn't quite sure who it was from, as I hadn't sent anything to Pittsburgh this year. And well that's because I got a return from one I sent last year.
Ray Searage played with the Brewers from 1984 to 1986 when we was traded to the White Sox. Rays only Topps card in a Brewers uniform is his 1986. He has a couple other cards from Fleer and Donruss, but I didn't have any of those lying around so I sent him his 1982 "rookie" card. Ray is currently the pitching coach for the Pirates. Ray also holds the distinction of being the only Met with a 1.000 batting average and 100% winning percentage. Look it up.
Ray's got a great sig, I just wish he had had a fresher Sharpe. This also took about a year to get back, not my longest turn around, but close. Needless to say I had kinda written off Mr. Searage, but I'm glad to be able add his signature to my autograph collection. I also already have a couple autos on 1986 Topps cards, but it's good to have some back ups.
Thanks again Ray
