2009 Successes

[lizard]

This year I got 13 authentic successes, here they are (I tried to put them in order I got them, from January to November):
- Audrey Tautou (x2)
- Amanda Seyfried
- Christian Bale
- Jackson Rathbone
- Jude Law (in person through a friend personalised)
- Dominic Cooper (personalised)
- James Franco
- Chace Crawford
- Henry Cavill
- Channing Tatum
- James McAvoy
- "A Steady Rain" Playbill (Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig)
- Chris Pine

I am beyond thrilled with all of my personal replies, and my best successes include James Franco, Dominic Cooper, Henry Cavill, Chace Crawford and Chris Pine. I am also very happy with finally getting Audrey Tautou's autograph, as I am a huge fan of hers.

2009 was pretty good. I won't list all my successes, but it was fairly productive. I got to meet one of my musical heroes, Ray Davies, in person and he signed a guitar for me. I also added to my Casablanca autograph collection.

I got some great items signed TTM from Pete Seeger, Lauren Bacall, some munchkins from Oz, many actors/actresses from the series The Fugitive, and the cast of My Family.

I only sent out about 230 letters this year which is less than my goal of 5-7 a week, but have had a nice bit of successes thanks to fanmail!

I mostly got baseball autographs IP this year. I live near 3 triple-A cities, 2 double-A cities, 5 single-A cities, and also made a trip to Pittsburgh last September. All-in-all, I got close to 630 autographs from around 375 different people this year, between IP and TTM. There is no way I'm going to even try to list them all.

Some of my favorites:
Greg Grunberg (the only celeb TTM success I had this year)
Boo Ferriss
Vern Law
Charlie Hough (I have a soft spot for knuckleball pitchers)
Charlie Zink (another knuckleball pitcher in the minors, and a real nice kid)
R.A. Dickey (another knuckler, but a bit of a jerk who kept promising he'd sign "tomorrow")
Phil Niekro (and yet another knuckler, but a nice guy)
Bob Feller
Dave Dravecky
Greg "The Bull" Luzinski
Al "The Mad Hungarian" Hrabosky
George Altman (former Negro League player)
Branch Rickey III (grandson of THE Branch Rickey)
Bobby "Bobby Bo" Bonilla
Bobby Meacham
Travis Fryman
Paul Molitor
