Got a nice surprise from 1975 First Rounder Sam Welborn, who signed the ball witrh inscription. He also wrote a nice letter saying that his favorite teammate was Keith Moreland and once gave up a homerun to Dale Berra that is "still going now." Berra had 49 HRs in his 11 MLB seasons, so it must have been a real bad pitch.
I also got a response from the sister of Mike Martin, 1970 1rst pick. Horribly Mike was killed in a car accident 6 years ago coming back from an anniversary dinner with his wife (who survived). How tragic! I didn't know his brother is former Phillie Jerry Martin. Sad story, but it was very nice of her to respond. RIP
