Wiggins I believe is still bouncing around minor league ball (I think back in the Yankees org.). Vierra has been with the Newark Bears the past two seasons. Ortega has an address in Harvey's list but doesn't seem to answer auto requests.

I got an RTS from the Harvey- Ortega address

Guy,
I am one of the collecotrs who helps Graveline find minor league players. It is really not that hard to find retired minor leaguers. Yes there are some that are very hard to track down but here is how you can do it for yourselves. Start by looking on the back of the players card for the last known residence. Try switchboard.com or whitepages.com and look the former player up in that town. If that does not work then just try the last know state the players was from. If that does not work then try looking for them in the place where they were born. If that does not work then just try the last name of the player in their birth place. Chances are you might come across a relative that can steer you in the right direction. I usually call the phone number listed with the add to verify if it is the same person that I am looking for. You would be amazed at how many people have the same name. I have been doing it like this for about 6 years and have come accross 400 minor leaguers. I would have more if I had the time too look. But that is why I am posting this message. the more people that there are looking for these players and sharing the adds the better off we all will be. If 10 people found one add a piece and shared them with each other each person would now have 9 additional adds for the one that they found. It is great that Graveline chooses to share his successes but everybodu should not just rely on him for adds. He is the only one I have seen posting minor legue adds.

Do not be afraid to call some of these players they do not know who you are and if they do get mad appologize and hang up. If you do not try you will not get.

I wonder if you send something to the wrong person with the same name if they would sign it just for the hell of it...
