Autograph Collection – Autograph #362

Bo Dodson – New Orleans Zephyrs

My Autograph #362 is a signed 3×5 index card from former minor league baseball player Bo Dodson, who played for the New Orleans Zephyrs.

I don't have a record of exactly when I mailed the autograph request, but I do know that I received the signed card on April 18, 1994.

Bo Dodson, whose full name is Bryan Morgan Dodson, was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the third round of the 1989 MLB Draft. A first baseman who batted and threw left-handed, he spent several seasons working his way through the minor league system.

Dodson played for the New Orleans Zephyrs in both 1994 and 1995. During the 1994 season, he appeared in 79 games for New Orleans, batting .261 with 67 hits, 13 doubles, 2 home runs and 29 RBIs.

He continued his professional baseball career with several other minor league organizations, including the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles farm systems.

One interesting note: Dodson was part of the 1996 Pawtucket Red Sox team, where he hit an impressive .344 in 82 games.

It's another nice addition to my collection of baseball autographs. The New Orleans Zephyrs have a special place in Louisiana baseball history, making this signed card an especially enjoyable piece to have.
