Today I received a really cool story ball from Al Clark. I happened to be reading about Al Clark and saw he umpired the game Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig’s record for consecutive games played and thought I would try sending him a baseball. He replied in a total of five days (priority mail shipping each way)! He wrote about what it was like in Baltimore that week and that it was the only time in twenty three years as an umpire that he applauded a player’s accomplishment. It is really neat! Thanks Al!

Pags!
Today I received a few items I sent to Doug Keating (4192hits on SCN and from www.cardboardpromotions.com) to have signed by Mike Pagliarulo. Pags played on the 1991 Twins World Championship team and I wanted to add him to my 1991 Sports Illustrated. While I was sending that in, I included all of Pags’ Topps Twins cards and the 1991 10 Year Anniversary set card. I already had those signed but for the price thought I would get another of each. They turned out great! I could not be happier on how well my SI turned out. Doug does an awesome job.
A Pair of HOFers
Today I received a couple HOF postcards in the mail that I bought from Tom Orr (orr23mj on SCN). Tom had a signing with both Craig Biggio and Randy Johnson and these were signed then. The Biggio has Tristar certification and the Johnson has JSA Witness. I do not actively buy the HOF postcards but Tom offered them at a fair price so I picked them up.
Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!
Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine I bought from Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN). It was signed by Johnny Damon. The issue features three other Red Sox so I have a new project to work on!
