TTM SUCCESS: Miami Marlins 1-Day Hero, Adam Greenberg!! I sent just one baseball card out during Spring Training with the hopes of hauling in an autograph for my collection. That card was sent to Adam Greenberg, formerly of the Miami Marlins. We all know his story, and for one day Greenberg was the most relevant player in the sport. As a Marlins fan, there was a lot of attention paid to Greenberg leading up to his appearance with the team and it was very hard to not get swept up in all of the excitement. I admire his determination and he can certainly teach many of today’s players about how quickly the dream of playing major league baseball can be taken from you. Greenberg attended Spring Training with the Baltimore Orioles this year and he still has the goal of making the big leagues on a permanent roster. I sent my card to him in the middle of Spring and it was returned to me the other day – signed!! Have a look: Thank you Adam, and best of luck to you with all of your future endeavors!!! ...

Autographed Adam Greenberg 2013 Topps baseball card from my collection I’m still around, but when I’ve had the time to write, I haven’t had much of an inclination. Aside from Matt Harvey and David Wright , there’s precious little reason to watch the Mets these days. Sure, they’ll surprise you in a good way every so often – but they will find new ways to frustrate more often than not. Even Mother Nature doesn’t seem to want to see them play . I have not added any new Mets autographs to my collection lately, though I will be able to add the card Andrew Brown signed for me via mail during spring training to my Mets binder now. But I have picked up a few more signed cards at various non-major league games. One of the highlights was getting Adam Greenberg to sign his 2013 Topps baseball card last week. And I had fun in Trenton last weekend watching the Portland Sea Dogs beat the Trenton Thunder with my friend Bart. I’d have to double check my scorecards, but I think it was the first time I ever saw the Sea Dogs win.
