Alex's Autographs

Since 2005, I've been working on a project, with the goal of trying to get an autograph through the mail from every living big league ballplayer who was born on my birthday, February 19. Through the end of the 2009 season, there are 21 living big leaguers who were born on the 19th of February, and I have received autographs through the mail from 18 of them. These are who I have received, in alphabetical order:

Keith Atherton
Miguel Batista
Tim Burke
Dave Cheadle
Jim Cosman
Juan Diaz
Alvaro Espinoza
Gail Hopkins
Bill Kelso
Keith Kessinger
Jackie Moore
Russ Nixon
Wayne Rosenthal
Bob Sadowski
Chris Stewart
Russ Sullivan
Don Taussig
Jim Weaver

These are who I still need:

Brad Kilby, born 1983
Josh Reddick, born 1987
Dave Stewart, born 1957
