Anybody every have any success with him? Maybe a home address if he lives here in the offseason? Always loved him and would love a signed ball.

Nah, I don't think there have been any TTM successes with him. I tried for the hell of it this year but didn't get anything back. He has been signing much more in person this year though from what I've heard. You might be able to buy a ball off of someone here. I was going to earlier in the year but was short on cash. Still might this season though! They're only going to up after he retires (for a bit anyway). I think he might come back next year to try and get his 3000th hit though. I've heard the Marlins are also interested in retaining him next season. Probably for the 3000th hit publicity, and they've said he's a good mentor to the younger guys.

You guys realize that when he reaches 3000 hits, he'll have more hits than Pete Rose if you include his Japan stats?? Freaking amazing. If only he was in the US for his entire career!
I'm personally plugging for him to sign w/ the Mariners again before he retires. And could you imagine if he wanted they could hire him as a co-hitting coach w/ Edgar Martinez?! Sweet fancy Moses, that would be awesome!
Anywho, yeah, I hope to get his sig someday too.

I've seen him so many times in person and he's always let me down. From like '08 to '12 I saw him for a few days each Spring and I never saw him touch a pen. Also saw him at two Yankees games in '12 and '13 and he never signed either.
And Martinez only signs for kids or women :mad:

Oh, I guess I was rambling and was just thinking it would be good for the team to have 2 of the best hitters ever coaching the club. But, yeah, I do want both their autographs. Someday.
Martinez only signs for women and kids huh...what about Caitlyn Jenner?! How would he handle that? :P

Yeah Ichiro seems to be signing better this year in person but still no chance ttm.
Martinez is very tough too but he signed and personalized on the Mariners off day here last week.

Ichiro is no doubt a tough one to get. I got extremely lucky this year when they came to San Francisco and he signed my throwback jersey. Was super friendly too. Couldn't have asked for more.

Sick jersey!
I was actually in Japan a few years ago when the Mariners played some exhibition games. Unfortunately we didn't know until we got there and of course all of Tokyo was there and it was sold out. I swear that country is powered by Ichiro. His face was plastered on everything! Especially public transit trains. He is to Japan what Manny Pacquiao is to the Philippines.
