Today I received a ticket stub I mailed out a while ago. It was from the Twins vs Yankees game on August 10, 1977 when Damien Miller made his Major League debut. Damien include “ML Debut” as I requested on the ticket and used the blue Sharpie I provided. All told, it took 196 days to get it back.

Mike Torrez!
Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Mike Torrez. The issue is from 09.24.2018 and shows a photo of him giving up Bucky Dent’s home run in 1978. One is now complete with Torrez, Bucky Dent, Carlton Fisk, and the umpire Don Denkinger. The other issue is missing just Fisk. I have another issue missing just Torrez but since this was the first time working with Jeff C (JB Autographs on Facebook), I did not want to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak. I am very pleased with how these turned out!
My Renko Dink Blog
Today I received a baseball from Steve Renko. I had sent my request to him a while ago and wrote off ever getting a ball back. It arrived with a story of his remembrance of the Pine Tar Game. Steve wrote that he was the last one to hold the bat. A fun article written by Hall of Fame writer Murray Chass is found here.
Thorpedo
Today I received a 2020 Topps #97 Lewis Thorpe card signed that I purchased from Signatures4Soldiers (Sigs4Soldiers on SCN). Tim does a great thing by assisting US military personnel by getting cards signed and sold with the money going towards the charity. The card looks awesome!
