Today I received a box with a couple items I had sent to Matt P (mpgobrowns on SCN) to get signed at Redsfest. He did a great job! Matt got a baseball signed by Devin Mesoraco and two tickets signed by Rasiel Iglesias. Both tickets were from his ML Debut. He signed one with MLB Debut and the other with just MLB before his handler said no inscriptions. They look great. Thanks Matt!

Bird Is The Word
Today I received a ticket signed by Greg Bird. He inscribed 1st MLB HR on it as requested. Unfortunately, the person who got it signed for me used a real thin marker and the autograph does not look the best. The interesting part of the ticket was that Greg hit his first TWO home runs in that game against the Twins.

Today I received a 2001 Topps Twins team card #768 that I purchased from Jonathan M (dabulls on SCN). It was signed by Johan Santana, JC Romero, Kyle Lohse, and one other I could not determine. I was in it for Johan. Since it is a glossy card, I was easily able to remove the other three autographs. This left me with a real nice Johan Santana signed team card for a $3 purchase! Not bad!
And you are…
Today I received a card I purchased from Stan P (stanesq on SCN). It was a 1997 Topps Chuck Knoblauch. Chuck has gone into hiding for the most part in recent years and if he does do a show it is a private signing with exorbitant prices. This card was signed beautifully by Chuck in blue Sharpie. It brought me back to the old bit on the KQ Morning Show when Check was interviewed. It went something like this:
Interviewer: “And you are…”
Chuck: “Chuck Knoblauch!”
Interviewer: “Chuck Knoblauch… Can’t thank you enough for all the time!”
That was the entire interview. Pretty funny.
