Alan Trammell and Danny Patterson Respond to Autograph Request

Marie Lowe
Alan Trammell and Danny Patterson have responded to through the mail autograph requests while an attempt to obtain Livan Hernandez's autograph has failed.

Trammell is a six time All-Star who played shortstop for the Detroit Tigers for 20 years, never playing for another team.

He played in 2,293 games finished his career with 2,365 hits, and 1,003 runs batted in.

In 1984 and 1987, Trammell saw post season action.

In 1984 the Tigers defeated the Kansas City Royals in the American League Championship series and went on to defeat the San Diego Padres in the World Series.

Trammell hit .450 against the Padres and belted two homers, driving in six runs and earned the World Series Most Valuable Player Award.

Trammell is also a four time Gold Glove winner and a three time Silver Slugger Award.

After ending his playing days, Trammell managed the Tigers from 2003 to 2005.

Many believe and hope that Trammell will be voted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.

Currently he is the bench coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks, which is where I sent the autograph request. He responded in only 54 days.

Patterson debut with the Texas Rangers in 1996 as a pitcher.

In 2000 he was traded to the Tigers where he would later play for Trammell.

Patterson saw post season action two times with the Rangers, both times losing to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series.

Patterson now lives in Texas and he responded to an autograph request in only eight days.

Hernandez is a pitcher for the Washington Nationals, which is the location I sent the autograph request.

But after over 100 days the request came back return to sender, unable to forward.
Other players that I have sent requests to are: Latroy Hawkins, Tony Pena, Omar Vizquel, Tim Wakefield, Tommy John, Steve Garvey, Ron Gant, Bryan Harvey, Tommy Lasorda, Ray Fontenot, Jason Thompson, Leon Durham, Dave Winfield, Jay Tibbs, Mike Scioscia, Ken Howell, Eric Davis, Randy Milligan, Tim Burke, Jay Bell, Danny Tartabull, Joe Magrane, Roger McDowell, Rick Aguilera, Nick Esasky, Kevin Seitzer, Dave Burba, Chris Sabo, Charlie Hayes, Tommy Gregg, Junior Ortiz, Mariano Duncan, Mo Vaughn, Andy Hawkins, Howard Johnson, Matt Nokes, Julio Franco, Jim Eisenreich, William Van Landingham, Rick Rhoden, Rafael Palmiero, Mike Stanley, Curt Wilkerson, Tim Laudner, Mike Mason, Craig Reynolds, Kevin Bass, Wade Boggs, Matt Stairs, Nolan Ryan, Mark Gardner, Carlos Garcia, and John Mabry.
