Padrographs, Front Office and others, Part 2

Kevin Towers-I first met Kevin when he pitched in the Padres minor league system.  I talked with him and he had gone to school with some of my cousins in his hometown of Medford, Oregon.  I got this card signed when he was in the minors.  He was the general manager of the Padres from 1995-2009.  He worked with several other teams. 

He passed away from cancer in 2016.

Tony Hawk- I got this off of ebay.  Skateboard icon Tony Hawk is from San Diego and threw out the first pitch.

Johnny Manziel-The Padres used the 837th pick in the 2014 draft to pick him.  He never played an inning and Topps decided to make a card.  I picked this off on ebay.

Agnes McKee- Agnes was 105 years old when she threw out the first pitch in 2014.  I found an article about her that mentioned where she lived and I sent her cards there and asked her to return one signed.  She obliged and this is that card.

Don Orsillo-Don is the play by play announcer for the Padres.  This is half of a bigger card that had Mark Grant on the other half.  I have one of the whole card signed by both of them.  I am not sure where that card is.

The Chicken-The Godfather of all sports mascots.  This card was not signed in '83.  I got it signed after a Portland Beavers game in the '90's.  I asked him to sign his real name but he said that would be like asking Santa to sign Fred.   Ted did sign his real name on a photo another time.

The Swingin Friar-This signed card was pulled from a pack.  I purchased it on Ebay.  

Next time, I will start on signed Manager cards.
