I've started to fall behind a bit on posting my TTM successes. I'm about a month behind but I'll catch up eventually. I got this success back from Tim Nordbrook. He was born in Baltimore and was somewhat of a rookie sensation when he made his debut. Unfortunately for him, sustained success did not come and he was out of the league with in 5 years. It was tough for young players to gain a foothold in the majors with the Orioles at the time with the great lineups that they had back then.
I had actually met Mr. Nordbrook at one of the first few Orioles Fanfests that I went to in the early 2010's. I got his autograph on the Orioles alumni postcards that they usually hand out. I had no I idea who he was at the time. I'm glad I've been able to learn much more about the Orioles players through plain curiosity and doing a bit of research before firing off a letter to them.
