A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

Today I received four items I had sent to Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) for his private signing with Pete Rose.  I had sent in seven Sports Illustrated magazines to Franco for his private signing a couple years ago.  Since then I picked up a few things and sent them for his latest signing.  I received them back and they look great!  They are:
10.1979 Baseball Magazine (already signed by Don Larsen and Bill Mazeroski)
09.07.1970 Sports Illustrated (already signed by Bud Harrelson– I did not realize it is Pete Rose on the bottom of the magazine until recently)
08.1968 Sport
1970 Famous Slugger Yearbook (already signed by Rod Carew)
I am excited to add these awesome items to my collection!

While at O.co Coliseum, This Happened…

While on our family vacation, we went to an Oakland A’s home game and Cami had the time of her life at the game.
Before the game she got the following players on signature cards: Bruce Maxwell Ross Detwiler Ron Washington During the game she had the aisle seat and after each top of the inning finished, she ran down a couple rows above the dugout with her glove to try to get a ball.  After the top of the 3rd inning finished, Max Muncy tossed the final out ball to her!  She was PUMPED! If that was not enough, she ended up getting on the big screen waving her hand later in the game! She will not soon forget going to the A’s game!

AZ #1259

Today we went on a tour of Alcatraz while on our trip to San Francisco.  We were all pretty excited about it but it turned out to be even neater than we thought.

After the tour, Bill Baker, a former inmate at Alcatraz, was signing his book.  Of course Cami could not pass up getting him to sign her National Parks passport as well as a book we bought.  Mr Baker was inmate number 1259 at Alcatraz and was incarcerated from 1961-1963 there.  We chatted with him for a couple minutes after he signed her book.
