It's fun to find autographs I didn't even know I had but must have gotten at some point - in the early part of the decade, Venters was a weapon out of the Atlanta Braves bullpen but
three Tommy John surgeries just about derailed his career.
Against all odds, Venters made it back to the majors leagues in 2018 with the Tampa Bay Rays - regardless of what happens, the occasional comeback story of an individual player is something to get sentimental about.
Jonny is certainly one of the best baseball stories of 2018, thus far. Here's hoping that he's able to stay around a little while longer!
