Yes, I have an autographed card of Miles Mastrobuoni.
Who? you may say. And I don't blame you. The light-hitting infielder has been on the Iowa shuttle all season. I've been totally unimpressed with him, yet Topps thought him worthy of inclusion in series two's Baseball Stars autograph insert set. Baseball Stars?? Miles Mastrobuoni????
But, since rules are rules, I had an obligation to get the card. Luckily, there wasn't a big run on his cards like there was for Matt Mervis. I got the card for $10, delivered.
Mastrobuoni is the 161st player in my collection of those with a certified autograph showing them as a Cub in a season that they played for the Cubs.

When I saw the Cubs at Yankee Stadium earlier this year, they'd just brought up Mastrobuoni to cover for Swanson's injury. Did pretty well, went 2-3 against Gerrit Cole and company. Not sure how much of a factor he'll be for future Cubs teams, but there's some promise.
