A GREAT Mail Day!

Today’s mail brought four packages!
The first package was an Eduardo Nunez card that I got from Mike O (clg381 on SCN).  It was Eduardo’s 2016 Topps Update US31 All Star card signed in blue.
The second package was a couple cards that Christian B (hheroes10 on SCN) got signed while in Arizona for Spring Training.  The cards are:
Tommy Milone 2016 Topps 624
Chris Colabello 2015 Topps 41
The third package was a ticket to Orlando Arcia’s ML Debut game that I sent in to a Crave signing event.  It was signed with ML Debut and looks great.
The final package was a baseball signed by Randy Johnson with HOF15.  It has an MLB hologram on it and I bought it from MLAM.
All in all a great day of mail!

Just Wing(ing) It

Today I received my first package of items that I had sent to Chad L (TheChad on SCN) who went to the Rochester Red Wings Welcome Home Luncheon.  He has a couple more things he will knock out over the first few games but he sent me what he got done for me and I received it today.
In the package was:
Buddy Boshers 1st Win ticket with “1st MLB Win”
JT Chargois Debut ticket with “MLB Debut”
Jose Berrios 1st Win ticket with “1st Win”
Byung Ho Park 2016 Topps Heritage
Byung Ho Park 2017 Topps Heritage
Byung Ho Park 2016 Allen & Ginter
Kennys Vargas 2017 Topps Heritage

Chad did a great job on these as always and I cannot wait for when he knocks out the other two items.  Thanks Chad!

Wow! What an Opener!

Today was the Twins Season Opener and it was Cami’s turn to go to the game.  I had asked her earlier in the week if she wanted to skip the entire day of school or get picked up at noon.  She said she wanted to go to school but wanted to be picked up at 11:30.  As she walked towards me at school, she was smiling from ear to ear and was so excited she could hardly contain herself.  We got to the ballpark at about 12:15 so we had about a 45 minute wait for the gates to open.  Once we got in we walked to the Twins side of the outfield.  Cami decided that she was going to go after the Royals for autographs.  She said the Royals are her second most favorite team.  She has been a fan of them for the last few years so I knew it was not just the team in front of her at the moment.  She asked for a baseball and went over to the Royals side hoping for an autograph.  Meanwhile, my buddy Tony and his group entered the ballpark and Cami called me to say “I just got the Royals manager’s autograph!”.  I was thinking ‘Ned Yost… not bad for her collection!’  I got over to her just after Tony and his crew found her and talked with her.  I then toss her a new baseball and she tossed me the one she got signed.  I looked at it and could not figure out who it was.  I knew it was not Ned Yost.  Some Royals fans around us said it was Doug Henry, the bullpen coach.  I just laughed.  She was happy though so I guess that is all that matters.  She now has a sweetspot Doug Henry baseball in her collection.

We had a blast for the rest of the afternoon watching the Twins beat the Royals 7-1.  The day was one that will become a special memory for Cami years from now!
