# 359 - Evan Meek

Near the end of the season I sent a few cards to a friend on SportsGraphing.com for a 50/50. This one of reliever Evan Meek came back signed. From what I've heard Evan is a really cool guy.

# UH 304 - Brad Lidge

Got this one back last week. Two time All-Star Brad Lidge signed his card from the 08 Topps Updates & Highlights set. This was one of the last requests I sent out during the 2009 season. Brad's always been a good TTM signer and this card looks great!

# 53 - Hank Blalock

It seems as though Hank Blalock's time in Texas has come to an end. Over the past 7 seasons he has been pretty reliable at third base for the Rangers. He hit over 150 home runs and drove in over 500 runs. However, Hank's contract is up and I don't see the Rangers resigning him for 2010. Hopefully he'll find a new home and be able to put up All-Star numbers again like he did in 2003 and 2004.

# 582 - Dusty Baker

Our next card is of baseball legend, Dusty Baker. Dusty has done it all in his career. During his playing days he was a 2x All-Star, a World Series champion, and the 1977 NLCS MVP. As a coach he has led the San Francisco Giants, the Chicago Cubs, and currently the Cincinnati Reds. He's even managed to win three NL Manager of the Year awards. If you're interested in following in Baker's footsteps, Sports Management Colleges offers relevant education sources.

# 431 - Delwyn Young

Our next signed 2008 Topps card is of former Dodger, Delwyn Young. Delwyn seems to have found a home in the outfield for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

# 36 - Brendan Harris

I remember when Brendan Harris was the big Chicago Cubs prospect. I was glad to be able to have him sign a few cards for me one Spring Training. Now Brendan is with his fifth organization and is a utility infielder for the Minnesota Twins.

# 318 - Ned Yost

I always liked Ned Yost. He did a pretty good job managing the Milwaukee Brewers. I understand why the let him ago but he did help turn around a dismal franchise. Hopefully he'll get another chance somewhere soon.

# 436 - Joe Blanton

It's November and Joe Blanton is pitching in another World Series. Joe was always a great guy when he was with the Oakland A's. It's great to see him having success in Philadelphia.
