Inched a good bit closer today today to hitting the 100-mark for different autographs obtained thus far for the year.Being ahead of the curve is going to prove terribly important as I've hit the busy time at my day job. Translation is the next few weeks will probably be quiet on the autograph front as I've had no time to send new requests in the last week or so. Maybe I've sent three out in the last 10 days, with little chance for improvement on that in the coming few weeks.
That said maybe I'll still hit 100 before the end of February. Just two more days to do so!
Four different athletes responded today, including my first double success from baseball. Both Jeff
Montgomery and Rance Mulliniks were kind enough to sign a few things for my collection.Montgomery was a fine relief pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. He recorded 304 saves during his career and struck out 733 batters.
In 1990 Montgomery struck out three batters on nine pitches, becoming the ninth AL pitcher and the 23rd overall to accomplish that feat.
Mulliniks, who at one time was a Royal and an Angel, made his name with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Californian played in over 100 games each year for the Blue Jays from 1982-1989.
He batted ov
er .300 in 1984, 1987 and 1988 and was named to SI's Dream Team as a utility infielder in 1984.Mike Renfro player for 10 seasons in the NFL with the Houston Oilers and the Dallas Cowboys. He caught 323 passes in his career for 4,708 yards, scoring 28 TDs.
Renfro's best game came as a Cowboy in 1987 in a Thanksgiving Day game against the Minnesota Vikings. Renfro pulled in seven of Danny White's passes for 100 yards and three TDs.
Lastly is Kyle Clifton. Clifton followed his college career at TCU by playing for 13 seasons in the NFL. He led the NFL in tackles with 199 in 1988. His career totals are 1,
484 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 12 interceptions,and 37 pass deflections.Day of the Year: 56
Number of Autographs This Year: 98
