Re: September 2016 Pickups
When the Cardinals came to Chicago to play the Cubs last month, I asked pal Derrick May, former Cubs LF and current St. Louis assistant hitting coach, if he could send me a GU cap when he had a chance, and gave him a Priority Mail SASE to do so.
Well, the SASE came in the mail today, and there's some good news and bad news. First the bad news: no cap was enclosed.
Now the good news: it didn't matter, because he instead sent me his 9/11 jersey! I've gotten some good shipments from players in the mail over the years, but, for a single item, this has got to be the BEST! Thanks, D!

Re: September 2016 Pickups
Great pick up Dave! Sounds like you have the best return on a SASE that I've
ever heard of!

Re: September 2016 Pickups
Thanks. It was the nicest one, but not my only one. When I was stuck in the hospital and a nursing home back in 2006 after back surgery, I got a CARE package from Tony Clark (then with the D-Backs) with several GU and signed caps, a pair of GU cleats, and about a half dozen pairs of batting gloves. I also got a package with a GU Sunday Cardinals cap and a bunch of team souvenirs from Ray King several years ago. Plus, a buddy of mine received a black alternate GU Marlins jersey from Harry Dunlop back in 2005. Players I've gotten to know over the years have been very good to me.
