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!

Don’t Be a Bader
Today I received a pair of items that Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN) got signed for me at the Legends for Youth dinner in New York recently. He got a Harrison Bader debut ticket with “MLB Debut” and a baseball signed by Bob Costas with “HOF ’18”. I could not be happier with how each turned out. Thanks Chris!
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.
