He pitched from 1992-1997, 1999 with a career 24-28 record and made it as high as AA with multiple organizations. I sent this card sent c/o his home along with a letter staring with 'Jackson, Whats up?' so it is up there in my top letters I have received and he briefly answered my questions. Thanks Scott and good luck.

TTM Success Josh Klimek

Josh Klimek

Josh Klimek is a former Minor League Third Baseman in the Milwaukee Brewers and Toronto Blue Jays from 1996-2002. Josh signed my card sent c/o his home and returned a signed letter answering my questions and was happy to talk about his career in the MiLB and teased me on being a Cubs fan with him being a die hard St. Louis Cardinals fan so I am not so sure about his choice in a favorite team but this is a great addition either way. Thanks for signing Josh and good luck.

TTM Success Josh Putrich

Josh Putrich

Josh Putrich signed my card sent c/o his home and added a two page letter along with my card which might be the best letter I have ever received in my years of collecting giving the best answers and most in depth answers I have received. Josh played two seasons in the Cubs system (1994,1995) and had a career 5-5 record and a 4.65 ERA in 18 career games. Josh is going his 20th year since his Pro-Debut and remembers every bit of his baseball experience. Thanks so much for signing Mr. Putrich and good luck to you.
