Some of you may remember Chris Bermann on ESPN giving nicknames to athletes. His Bert “Be Home” Blyleven was one of my favorites.
While organizing a box of items, I came across a couple old wirephotos I had bought somewhere along the line to get signed. I found two Tony Oliva and a Bert Blyleven wirephoto. I sent the two Oliva ones off to an upcoming signing and sent the Blyleven to Bert along with his requested donation. I received it back today signed along with a funny note. The photo shows Bert in mid-delivery with his knee above his elbow. He included a note that said “If I tried that high leg delivery now I would fall over!” Pretty funny stuff!

The Miz!
Monday’s post mentioned that I was going to receive a ticket signed by Jacob Misiorowski that Alan M (alanmoore on SCN) got signed during a private signing. It arrived today! It looks great! Miz included “MLB Debut” on it as well! Jacob started his career with an unbelievable run with his first three starts very impressive. Things have leveled out for him but know the name! He will be an All Star soon!
Three’s A Charm!
Today’s mail brought three packages! The first was a baseball signed by Jacob Misiorowski that Alan M (alanmoore on SCN) got done during a private signing. I am waiting on a debut ticket in another package!
The next package contained 2021 Gypsy Queen Byron Buxton card which I bought form Wesley George.
And finally I received my Michael Busch ticket signed with MLB Debut. Donnie D (Macey225 on SCN) got it signed at a show in Chicago a couple weeks ago.
A nice mail day for sure!
The Toddfather
Mike C (mac6185 on SCN) had a signing with Todd Helton a couple weeks ago. I had sent in my actual HOF Induction ceremony ticket from last year to the signing. It is stamped and cancelled at the post office induction weekend. I also sent in a plaque postcard that I had cancelled at the post office there as well. Both came back signed beautifully. I am excited to get these items signed from that magical trip to Cooperstown we did as a family last summer. I have a couple more to go on my ticket to complete it!
