Today was the first day of the MN State Fair for me. I took the kids along and we had a good time. It worked out that Byron Buxton and Eddie Rosario were there and we got a few autographs from both of them. The kids got me a couple cards I needed as well as items for their own collections. The cards I ended up with were:
Byron Buxton- 2017 Topps Now Road To Opening Day
Byron Buxton- 2017 Topps Now 08.18.2017 13.85 Seconds Inside the Park HR
Byron Buxton- 2017 Allen & Ginter #33
Byron Buxton- 2017 Topps #590- Triplet of Twins card that was already signed by Eduardo Escobar (now it just needs Sano)
Eddie Rosario- 2017 Topps Now Road To Opening Day
Eddie Rosario- 2017 Topps Now 06.13.2017- 3 HR Game
Eddie Rosario- 2017 Topps Now 06.13.2017- Franchise Record 28 Hits

Cami got a couple photos signed by Buxton and Caden got a Buxton card for his collection.
We all had a great day at the Fair but to get to meet Twins players makes it so much more fun!

Rookies and a Hamilton
Today I received a pair of packages. One was from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) and contained a pair of high prospect signed baseballs. One was signed by Victor Robles and the other Eloy Jimenez. They are beautiful!
The other package was from Tom Hamilton. Tom is the Indians broadcaster and I had sent him a call ball request for Francisco Lindor’s first career walk off home run but he just signed his name. He did return the donation so I guess that was cool.
Great Balls of Fire!
Today I received a cool package of baseballs from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) who got them signed throughout the season when the teams visited the Washington, DC area. All the baseballs were signed BEAUTIFULLY. I could not be happier!
The players Chris got for me are:
Jonathan Lucroy
Tanner Roark
Antonio Senzatela
Jon Gray
Scooter Gennett
Adam Duvall
Thanks for all your efforts Chris! GREAT JOB!!!
Just The Ticket(s)!
