Shawon Dunston 1989 Topps
Who: Shortstop Shawon Dunston

Team: Chicago Cubs

Card: 1989 Topps

Acquired: TTM 4/2 6/29/2009 (91 days)

Comments: This '89 Topps was the other card that I sent to Shawon Dunstan. He of course, returned two additional signed cards for me. He is an awesome fellow.

So, I totally remember Shawon playing when I grew up. If you were a kid in the midwest in the '80s and '90s, you saw the Cubs on TV more than any other ballclub because of day games and WGN broadcasting every damn game. So, guys like Sandberg, Grace and Dunstan were household name. They were the guys you loved pulling out of wax packs. Guys that actually made into your binder for safe-keeping. But, that said, I had NO CLUE Shawon played until 2002. No clue at all. He played 18 major league seasons. That's pretty awesome.

That is one epic turtle neck isn't it?

Dunston was one of my favorites growing up. He was always an awesome TTMer, even during his playing days. I probably have 10-15 autographs from the guy.

15? That's awesome. I tell you what, I like him even more now.

I'll have to find them and get an exact count. Several are posted on the Dunston page on my blog already, but I know I have more than that.
