The first half of 2019 has not been very productive in
regards to getting TTM (thru the mail) autographs from current, former, and
future Minnesota Twins. To date I have signed cards from 655 different Twins.
Below is a list of my successes so far this year:
Current or Former Twins
Chase De Jong sent out in 2018
Matt Walbeck
Tom Johnson
Jim Kaat sent $10 and got 2 cards signed
Felix Jorge
Scott Leuis
Minor Leaguers
Brent Rooker sent out in 2018
Luke Raley
Edwar Colina
Michael Davis
Four minor leaguers – Luis Arraez, Ryan Eades, LaMonte Wade,
and Lewis Thorpe were promoted to the Twins in the first of 2019. I had gotten
all four back when they were minor leaguers. This is why you want to collect
minor leaguers because some end up becoming major leaguers.
There have been two in-person signings so far this year:
Jonathan Schoop - free
Willians Astudillo – cost $$
I hope things pick up for the rest of the 2019, but at least
the Twins are playing real well.
