TR

Today I received a baseball signed by Terry Ryan.  Terry was the Twins General Manager when they signed Joe Mauer.  With Joe retiring, I thought it would be cool to have a story ball signed about signing him.  Unfortunately what I received was not a story except that it said “Drafted Joe Mauer #1 2001 Free Agent Draft”.  I guess there is a story in there!

The Sandlot

Today I received something really cool from Chris D (cpdinc on SCN).  Most of the cast of the baseball movie The Sandlot appeared at a card show in St Louis a couple weeks ago and he got a movie poster signed by all on the poster but two.  And each signed with their movie nickname as well.  The autographs on the poster are:
Marty York “Yeah yeah”
Shane Obedzinski “Repeat”
Victor DiMattia “Timmy Timmons”
Tom Guiry “Smalls”
Chauncey Leoparcii “Squints”
Brendan Quintin Adams “Kenny DeNunez”
Patrick Renna “Ham”
It looks FANTASTIC!  This is a really unique and cool addition to the collection!  Thanks Chris!!!!

Hey Lance!

Today I received the 05.29.2017 Sports Illustrated issue that was signed by Lance McCullers Jr.  Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) got Lance to sign this issue during the season.  He forgot who sent it in and just figured it out so he sent it to me.  I could not be happier with it.  The sad thing is that Lance got Tommy John Surgery yesterday and will miss 2019.
