It took almost 2 months, 57 days to be exact, when I saw a very familiar envelope in my mailbox. It was the envelope I sent to Mark Grace, Bobby Bonilla, and Shawon Dunston when I sent them interview requests along with hefty stacks of cards as a token of appreciation.
So when I grabbed the envelope out of the mailbox, I knew that it was from Mark Grace based on the Post Office’s stamp. The envelope felt light and I knew quickly that the interview was not inside.
But these three cards were!!!
Mark Grace added his flawless autograph to three cards for me and they look GREAT!!!
And while it would have been incredible to get my interview questions acknowledged, I know that these guys are bombarded all of the time and have little time for themselves. It was worth a shot and I will do it again at some point in the future.
But for now, I am going to enjoy these three great autographs of one of my favorite Cubs players of all-time!!!
Thank you Mr. Grace!!
