Padrograph ##1195


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
