Does anyone know if Red Schoendienst still signs?

I know this HOF is elderly now but I was wondering if anyone has sent anything TTM to him and if so, did you have any luck?

Somebody in this months ttm thread had gotten back from him.
On another note: I'm still waiting for my two cards back from him, as it's been a few months. He can very well be one of those "hit and miss" type of guys.

A few months back he sent back my 2 cards unsigned in my SASE.

Ummm...it sounds like he is not doing the TTM thing any longer then.

Try enclosing a donation of $5 and write very large on the envelope "donation enclosed". That worked for me. I got it back in like 10 days.

I have a cool Red Schoendienst story.

I went to a St. Louis Cardinals vs. Toronto Blue Jays spring training game in Dunedin, Florida.

Red was standing behind the batters cage watching the Cardinals take batting practice and I saw a few autograph seekers trying to get his attention. They were mis-pronouncing his name or just calling him #2 (his jersey number). He looked back at the crowd and said "if you say my name right, I'll come over and sign." I walked over to join the group of autograph seekers and pulled my card and Sharpie out and said, correctly, "Mr. Schoendienst, will you please sign an autograph?" He had a surprised look on his face and promptly came over to sign for me as well as the few others that were standing around.
