Today I received a baseball I sent to Pete Richert. He signed his name and included the inscription “Struck Out 1st 6 Batters Faced 4/12/62”. He was brought in to his Major League debut in relief and fanned the first six batters. Pretty impressive start to his career!

Three HOF baseballs!
Today I received a pair of packages in the mail. Both contained signed baseballs with HOF inscriptions.
The first was a response from Pat Gillick. He graciously signed a baseball with HOF 2011 for my collection.
The second package was a purchase from Amazon of a pair of Steiner certified Tom Lasorda baseballs with H.O.F. 97. A coworker of mine, Wayne S, alerted me to the special pricing on them. There was a limit of three per order. I ordered two and was concerned after someone on SCN mentioned that when he ordered discounted Steiner baseballs via Amazon in the past that they were less than perfect items. These two baseballs look awesome and I cannot think how they could be improved upon! Thanks for the heads up Wayne!
A day where you get three HOF signed baseballs with inscriptions in the mail is a great day!
Dougie Baseball
Today I received a pair of the ESPN magazine issue where it featured four Twins players on the cover that Darrell H (thehalk on SCN) got Doug Mientkiewicz to sign. They are both now half done… signed by Doug and Jacque Jones. I still need to add Torii and AJ.
Hey Cami!
Today Cami received a pretty neat autograph. A month or two ago she sent an artist card to Nathan Greno and received it today. He drew a sketch of Rapunzel with Pascal on her shoulder. It looks really neat and I am envious of it! If that was not cool enough, he drew a picture of Mickey Mouse on the back saying “Hi Cami!” in a cartoon bubble. Cami was so excited and loves that Nathan took the time to do that for her.
