# UH 169 - Eulogio De La Cruz

Former Florida Marlins reliever, Eulogio De La Cruz signed a card for our set. Eulogio is now with the Milwaukee Brewers organization. I saw him in Spring Training but he didn't sign. Luckily he was nice enough to answer our request TTM.

# 89 - Josh Willingham

Former Florida Marlins outfielder, Josh Willingham is off to a pretty good start with his new team. That's good news for Oakland A's fans because they're in desperate need for more offense.

Josh signed this card for us at Spring Training this year.

# UH 157 - Mark Hendrickson

Ryan from The Great Orioles Autograph Project sent over a nice package that included three signed 2008 Topps cards for our set.

The final card is of former Florida Marlins and current Baltimore Orioles pitcher, Mark Hendrickson. I did a quick Google search on Mark. I remembered that he had played basketball previously but I didn't realize he played in over 100 games for four different teams.

Thanks for the great cards, Ryan!

# 442 - Luis Gonzalez

Former Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder, Luis Gonzalez has long been one of my favorite players. He signed his 08 Topps card for our set. Very cool.

On a related note, the 2011 Diamondbacks Fan Fest is less than a month away.

# 70 - Dan Uggla

Finally. Signed 08 Topps card # 300. It seems like we've been really close to this milestone for awhile but now it's official. Two-time All-Star Dan Uggla gets the designation of being out 300th signed card.

My son's second birthday is getting dangerously close. I remember when I decided to start this project I thought if I could get a few hundred signed cards for him it would be great. That goal has been reached but I'm not ready to stop yet.

In case you were wondering... yes, he does like his cards. He likes to look at the pictures and say "ball" or he likes to take them out of the box and throw them around the room. Fortunately they are all in top loaders so I don't really mind.

# 265 - Fredi Gonzalez

You may have noticed that the number of blog posts is down dramatically this month. This isn't due to a lack of cards to post about, I have plenty of those. It's really just a lack of motivation. I have been pretty diligent in getting posts these past 16+ months but I guess I had to fall off the wagon sometime.

Here's another card sent to us by blog reader Dan. Dan sent this over back in February when Fredi Gonzalez still had a job. Thanks, Dan!

# UH 75 - Matt Treanor

The 2010 baseball season is well underway but we still have a handful of Spring Training autographs to catch up on.

Matt Treanor began Spring Training with the Milwaukee Brewers but by the end of March he was over in the Texas Rangers camp. That's where we caught up with him and had him sign his 08 Topps card.

# 388 - Jorge Cantu

Two great surprises today...

The first was at the 'ol P.O. Box this morning. Brian from 30-Year Old Cardboard sent us a signed 08 Topps card of Florida Marlins star, Jorge Cantu. I know I've said this before but I'll say it again, Brian runs one of my favorite blogs.

The second of the day came just a few minutes ago. One of my and Brian's favorite players, Andre Dawson has been elected to the Hall of Fame. If you haven't already, go check out 30-Year Old Cardboard and read Brian's Andre Dawson Hall of Fame post. Might as well leave a comment while your there too.
