I received a surprise earlier this week when a TTM success from Manny Trillo showed up in my mailbox. Sent July 26, 2010, the request was assumed a lost cause long ago, and forgotten. - it is now my "longest wait ever"...

I sent the request c/o The White Sox while Trillo was still working for the team. The return was postmarked from Orlando, but I have not heard what (if any) team he is currently affiliated with. In between sending the card and today, I had a chance to meet Trillo at a Poppel show. I told him I had been waiting a long time to meet him, and that he should come back more often. He answered, "I've been around. You just need to know where to look!"
