Last spring I had to be out of my house for about 6 weeks and forwarded my mail to my son's house. During that time I bought an autograph of Charles "Butch" Schmidt. I have been chasing a subset of players with 1 game as a NYY and he was a toughie, having played 1 game in 1909 but also later a member of the "Miracle Braves". After I got back in the house, I thought I lost the autograph and when I sold my house in the fall of last year I thought it was gone forever. I couple weeks ago my daughter in law handed me a baggie with a couple pieces of mail she forgot to give me last spring and lo and behold, Schmidt showed up. A major senior moment with a happy ending.
