Today I received the second package I was waiting on from Chris R (rifon on SCN)’s signing with Gary Gaetti. This package had three tickets from Twins triple plays. Gary inscribed each and signed each exactly was I requested. They are awesome. The tickets are:
8/8/83 signed by Gary with “Triple Play” (this was already signed by Kent Hrbek)
4/5/88 signed by Gary with “Triple Play”
7/17/90 signed by Gary with “2 Triple Plays”
Now to get the other players involved to sign them…

Nice Kitty
Today I received the first of two packages from Chris R (rifon on SCN) who held private signings with Gary Gaetti and Jim “Kitty” Kaat. I have gotten Kaat a number of times over the years but did not realize until recently that I did not have him on my 1965 Twins team baseball. I included that baseball and now have 21 players from the 1965 Twins post season roster on it. I also sent in a 5″x7″ postcard from 1965 and Jim signed that real nice. I found a fairly beat up ticket from Game 1 of the 1987 ALCS and sent that in for Gary to sign. He signed it with “2 HR’s” and “1987 ALCS MVP” as I requested.
I realized after I mailed this in that I had some other tickets for Gary to sign so I sent those in separately and should receive those soon!
A Cool Day
Today I received a pair of Negro Leaguer Hall of Famer signed baseballs I purchased from John A. My friend Joel B is helping John sell his collection and sent me a link to his items. I saw these two and they have been on my need list for a long time and made a fair offer. They arrived today and are awesome. The Leon Day baseball is as close to perfect as you can get. The James “Cool Papa” Bell baseball is signed as his post-stroke baseballs are. The condition of the baseballs are amazing. I am excited to add these two to my collection!
Gonzo for Car Go
Today I received a debut ticket signed by Carlos Gonzalez. Lou R (SIGNATURES on SCN) held a private signing with Car Go and I sent in the ticket. Carlos inscribed it with “Car Go” and “MLB Debut”. It looks great!
