TTM Success - Marty Marion
I mailed a ball to former St. Louis Browns manager Marty Marion on January 20, 2011 and received this ball back today (the mail came yesterday, but we were at a hotel in Raleigh). That's a 9-day TAT for a free TTM.

Great success, the baseball looks incredible! I'll have to give Marion a shot sometime soon!
