In 2014 my wife, I and our 2 and a half year old granddaughter drove from Portland to Keizer to watch the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes play the Eugene Emeralds. That is the Giants vs. the Padres in short season rookie league ball. I took pictures that night and made them into cards. I got the majority of the team to sign them. One of the players on that team was Travis Radke. I got him to sign that card and then started following his career. He disappeared in 2016 and reappeared in 2017 in the same league I first saw him in. The team had relocated to Washington and he had missed a year due to Tommy John surgery. We talked and I took some pictures but didn't make a card set that year. This year Travis got invited to big league camp as a non roster invitee. I made a 2020 card for him and sent it to him. Came back in just nine days. I will make an update card if he makes the team, I may make an update anyway since I have found a couple of better photos since I made this. He is Padrograph #1195
