New to the Penmanship Collection

 Three new additions to the penmanship binder.

To be honest, I probably would have bought this even with an illegible signature because of the logo. UT-Chattanooga ditched the native logo for the Moccasins in the mid 90s, and adopted the Mockingbird as their mascot, which was a way to keep the nickname of Mocs in a different manner. Having it as the engineer on a Chattanooga Choo Choo? Magnificent! 

They now use a generic, bland block 'C' as their primary logo. Because we don't deserve nice things.
It's SAGE, so no need for any logo here. Darren Grainger didn't get a lot of cards out of his collegiate career, so he really makes the ones he did get stand out with nicely legible cursive. The last I checked, he was on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers roster, so maybe he can talk handwriting with another binder member - Brandon Alexander.
Let's make it a three-sport post and end it with someone who had the most professional success of the group (at least so far), with a former Rule 5 pick who spent 5 seasons in the majors. He might go off the sticker with his auto, but I love how he loops around the lower case n to cross his t. Efficiency to go with legibility!

There you have it!
