This next NFL season is the 50th anniversary season of the Miami Dolphins. As part of the celebration, they asked fans to tweet about when you became a fan and share as a #sincemoment. Truth is I was a casual fan before 1993 and when I became engrossed my favorite player was OJ McDuffie. I remember sending him a card to sign and he sent it back within 2 weeks. To a 14 year old, that's reason enough to be a lifelong fan. 
So when I posted "Since @ojmcduffie81 ran his first punt back for a TD in 1993 #sincemoment Then, Now, For Life #FinsUp " and included my rookie and final season game worn jerseys, the Fish added me to the wall of comments and Juice favorited the photo on Twitter.
For the record, this is the second time one of my players reached out, the first can be found here: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ight=matt+diaz
It's too bad my other players don't do the twitter thing!
Anyone else have an experience when they player you collect acknowledged your collection in person or over the internet? I get the feeling many would be flattered and might reply (as long as it's not MJ or LeBron or Manning with millions of followers)
