More old autographs that I discovered looking through old albums, these were also obtained when I was a kid by writing directly to the players.

Don Sutton is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was a 4-time All-Star and pitched a long career for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland A’s, and California Angels. He won 324 games in his career and his #20 has been retired by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Don Baylor is the 1979 American League MVP and is also a former All-Star. He played for the Baltimore Orioles, Oakland A’s, California Angels, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Minnesota Twins over a career that spanned 19 seasons. He was named the first manager of the expansion Colorado Rockies where he managed for 6 seasons, winning the 1995 NL Manager of the year award, and he also managed the Chicago Cubs.

Joe Rudi was a vital part of the Oakland A’s teams that won three consecutive World Series Championships from 1972-1974. He was a 3 time AL All-Star and played for the A’s, California Angels, and Boston Red Sox over his 16 year career.
