Pronk

Today I received a couple items I am excited about. The first was a ticket I have had for a while. Back on 08.14.2003 Travis Hafner, Pronk, hit for the cycle at the Metrodome. I have sent this ticket in to a few consignors without luck in the past. I noticed he signed up for Past Pros so I sent my ticket in within the first couple days. He was not sure how I wanted it signed so he contacted Past Pros and they in turn contacted me. I provided a description and received the ticket today signed perfectly.
The other package was a baseball I sent to Ralph Garr on what it was like playing in the game when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s home run record. He wrote a short story on it and sent it back to me.

Goin’ To The Jon

Today I received a cool Sports Illustrated magazine that had Jon Lester added to it but not before a mail delivery scare. I had mailed my 10.10.2016 SI issue that was already signed by Jake Arrieta, Dexter Fowler, Jorge Soler, and Hector Rendon to a signing that Josh Rubin (via the Baseball Private Signings Facebook group) was having with Lester. Lester used to be a Fanatics client and his autographs were expensive and limited. I was excited when I saw Lester was signing so I sent it in. Our mail arrived this afternoon and delivery confirmation showed it as being delivered. It was nowhere to be found! Around 5pm a nice lady stopped by and dropped it off saying it was delivered to her instead. I am thankful for the kindness of neighbors! I doubt I will ever complete the issue getting all nineteen people on the cover to sign it but it is a fun little project for when one pops up at a signing.
