I have always loved baseball. Growing up in the Bay Area I am a Giants fan all the way. Then San Jose got a hockey team, and I was hooked on that too.
Got one back today...

Ted Lilly c/o Chi Cubs s/t Sent 3/14/7 rec 4/9/7
The only down side to getting his autograph was that he sent me a nice 2000 Bowman card and not the 2007 Heritage I sent. Oh, well. If anyone gets his auto on a 2007 heritage and sent a Bowman, let me know. I have your card and would like to trade.

Jim Thome c/o Chi White Sox 3/28/07 - 4/13/07 (thats right-2 weeks)
Duane Kuiper c/o SF Giants 04/04/07 - 04/13/07
Mr Kuiper played for the Indians and the Giants in the 70'-80's. He is the Giants TV play by play guy. He and Mike Krukow are the BEST baseball broadcasters on TV. I have watched alot of baseball in my years and these two are the funniest and most talented duo ever.

Got a letter and phoney pre-printed signed postcard from Pat Burrell c/o the Phiilies. They did send back my Topps Heritage card and the return envelope too, so at least i can reuse that.

I don't know. I got a 5 X 7 with a silver 'signature' from A-Rod. I thought it was a facsimile, as it also came with a note 'by A-Rod' (although I'm betting it came from his fan club, as that's where the envelope was addressed from - in California).
JasonS

My Utley one was also in blue sharpie, but looks like it could be real. It is not a stamp or preprinted, but could be an autopen.
The Burrell is 100% preprinted.

Weird stuff today. I mentioned on another thread that I was going to try Matt Williams at an address I had not tried before and there in my mail box was a signed card from him! I had sent it to him so long ago I forgot when and where I sent it. I think I sent it to the Diamondbacks. Glad to see they gave it to him and he ws nice enough to sign it for me.

Isn't he part owner or something of the D'backs? I thought I read something to that effect. Could explain how it got to him.
