#14 Darrell Akerfelds. Darrell pitched in the major leagues from 1986-1991. He was the Padres pitching coach from 2001 until his death from Pancreatic Cancer in 2012. I sent this to him and got it signed through the mail. #15 Sandy Alderson. Sandy was the CEO of the Padres from 2005-2009. I covered the Bazooka Joe name with a stamp of Marine Corps legend Chesty Puller. Sandy was a Marine who served in Vietnam.
#963 Austin Allen. Austin was drafted in 2015 and made his major league debut this year. I can't remember how I obtained this, it may have been at a Salem-Keizer Volcanoes game.
