Mailday – October 7

With the 2010 MLB regular season done, I don’t anticipate too many more successes to come rolling in. That said, I still have a bunch of requests out in the wind, so I hope I’ll get a lot of them back. Anyway, I received two more cards last week, making for a pretty decent week.

Here’s the first one:

Chicago White Sox rookie Sergio Santos signed this 2010 Ginter card for me in about a month, care of the team. If you’re a Sox fan, you’ve got to love what this pitcher did in his rookie season. After beginning his career as a shortstop, Santos switched to pitcher and made the Chicago 2010 Opening Day roster. He ended up 2-2 as a reliever, with an ERA of 2.96 and 56 strikeouts in 51.2 innings of work. This is the fourth 2010 Ginter return for me, and the first of a baseball player.

Here’s card number two:

Toronto Blue Jays coach Brian Butterfield signed and returned this card in three weeks care of the team. This is a Jays team set from around 2001 or 2002, given out at home games during that time. I found it while going through some old stuff, so I figured I’d give Butterfield a shot. It’s another success for my Jays collection.

That’s all for now; my fingers are crossed for more good baseball stuff this week!
