The former big league lefty signed my card in about three weeks or so this past summer - I mailed out a request to him in March 2021 but presumably it got lost where I might have used the wrong address, he was helping out with the New York Yankees in spring training and never got to seeing my request, etc.
Maybe Guidry's career totals past his peak years are a little short, but he was probably the ace of the New York Yankees pitching staff from the late 1970s through the mid 1980s - I'm kind of surprised he has basically received little consideration for the Hall of Fame.

It seems like to would be very difficult for a pitcher from his era, with only 170 wins, to make it into the Hall.
Counting stats are admittedly low, but i think those late 70s Yankees in general dont receive the HOF consideration they are due. Thurman Munson is the prime example. And Guidry was the best pitcher in the game for a few years there, peaking in the historic '78 season...
