I have no luck with any of these anymore. I do have an extra Van Poppel though if you cant locate him. I still have requests out to Brown and Ericks, no luck though

Jim, I just sent out something to John Grimsley on the 21st so I don't know if it's good. If you want to wait until I get a response I will PM with a yes or no. If you just want to try yourself, here it is.

John Grimsley P.O. Box 16388 Sugar Land, TX 77496

Hi Kevin! I don't have a list, but I know of 3 NHL teams who don't normally give their players fan mail. You will get a response back from the Avalanche, but it will more than likely be Secretarial. The Devils and the Rangers usually don't give the players mail, or at least they haven't the last few seasons.

I hope this helps.

Hi Kevin!

No I've never tried Springer, but I'm planning on sending to him c/o of the Cardinals once the season starts.

Jim

P.S.
Go Aeros!
 
By the way, this is probably a long shot, but does anyone have anything on former Houston Oilers, Tom Regner and Walt Suggs, or former Colt, Richk Volk?

Thank you again for all of your help!

Please don't ask for any game used items or team signed balls or anything of that nature. Requests such as that are what turns players off from signing TTM. If you need evidence of this, check out Pat Neshek's website, http://eteamz.active.com/PatNeshek/, and look at the March 13th entry.

If you want to make a donation in his son's name because you feel that it is the right thing to do, then please do. But don't do it with the hopes of expecting to benefit from it for yourself. It defeats the purpose of the work "charity".

Sorry...that's Rick Volk.

Hit the submit button before I did a double check on spelling.

I agree. Players go get turned off by that. Remember when you are sending your cards to a player it is simply a request. Even though you are sending an SASE, you never know if your items will be returned signed or returned at all. Some players hate fan mail. A couple of years ago, in his column, Todd Jones wrote that some players use the cards as coasters.

Hm...that's strange, because the success I had once seen with Brant (this was at least two months ago) had been a fairly quick one. I wrote down the address, too...and then I lost it. :(

Too bad I didn't get to see this post before now, too...otherwise I might have held up on sending to Ericks today. Oh well, maybe luck will play out.
