Today I received an awesome return of a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines from 9/24/2018 from Carlton Fisk. The cover features Bucky Dent hitting his famous home run off the Red Sox. The photo shows Don Denkinger, Bucky Dent, Carlton Fisk, and Mike Torrez. I have it signed by everyone but Torrez now. Carlton signed it perfectly for a nice donation to his favorite charity, The Cancer Support Center. I am excited to have a pair of magazines almost done by all four of the players on the cover!

An Auction Win
I recently signed up for Mile High Card Company’s auctions when they had a lot of older Twins ticket stubs for sale. I did not win it but the next auction that rolled around had a 1969 Topps card I needed for my collection. I won a PSA encapsulated Jerry Crider card. I received it today.
Also in the mail was a business card signed by Brodie Van Wagenan. Brodie is the EVP & GM for the Mets.
A Final Batch
Today I received a final batch of signed baseballs from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN). Chris did a great job this season getting me a lot of the top 100 prospects who played on the East Coast minor league teams. This package contained:
Tristan Casas w/”2018 1st Rnd Pick”
Greg Jones w/”2019 1st Rd”
Andrew Vaughn
Alec Bohm
Brailyn Marquez
I am excited to add these to my collection and cannot wait for next season so we can do this all over again! Thanks Chris!
A Fair Day
Today Cami and I went to the MN State Fair for a few hours. It was fun to hang out with her and bum around the fairgrounds. I noticed that Tony Oliva was going to be there so I grabbed a couple of the items I had for the Twins Hall of Fame Breakfast (he did not attend) and put them in a notebook. We got to the Fair and went to the Twins booth and found Tony O was tossing Wiffleballs to kids in the Wiffleball field. We walked around and got some food and went back just in time as he sat down to sign a few autographs. Cami got a 2019 Allen & Ginter and a 1968 Atlantic card signed. I got a 2019 Allen & Ginter signed as well. He was in a great mood taking pictures and signing autographs. We had a great day at the Fair!
