Former pitcher Mike Mason, outfielder Kevin Bass, shortstop Jay Bell, and outfielder Ron Roenicke joins my collection of through the mail baseball autographs.

Mason played for the Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and the Minnesota Twins.

He pitched in 140 games and struck out 328 batters during his career.

Mason allowed 65 career home runs with Ron Kittle, Tom Brunansky, Carmelo Castillo, and Alejandro Sanchez each hitting three homers off of him. Reggie Jackson was one of many to hit two homers off of Mason.

Today Mason is the pitching coach for the Iowa Cubs.

Bass played with the Milwaukee Brewers, Houston Astros, San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, and the Baltimore Orioles.

In 1986 he was selected as an All-Star and played in the National League Championship series with the Astros.

As part of the signature, Bass added #17 referring to his uniform number.

Bell is a two-time All Star that played for the Cleveland Indians, Pittsburgh Pirates, Kansas Royals, Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Mets.

Bell played in the post season five times including a trip to the World Series in 2001 when the Diamondbacks defeated the New York Yankees.

In 2009, Bell became eligible for the Hall of Fame.

Roenicke played with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, and the Cincinnati Reds.
