Florida Baseball Autographs

While in Florida, we, as a family, went to three baseball games.  I drove to watch a fourth game when Amy and the kids and my nephew decided to go kayaking.  Over those four games we did not actively pursue autographs but if the opportunity came up, we did go for it.  I have purchased a pack of 25 baseball autograph cards that worked well for players I had no idea of or had nothing for.  I did bring along some Sports Illustrated magazines but they did not get out of my backpack even once.  I did manage to get a baseball signed by one player for me though and a pair of autographed cards for Cami while she got a pair of the cards signed herself.  Most of the time we showed up to the game just as first pitch was about to happen so there was not much of an opportunity for autographs.

We ended up getting the following autograph cards:
Aaron Barrett- 03.11.2015- Nationals
Tyler Moore- 03.11.2015- Nationals
Chris Stewart- 03.13.2015- Pirates
Steve Clevenger- 03.14.2015- Orioles

I got Dylan Bundy on a baseball at the Orioles game.

While we did not get many autographs, we had a great time seeing all the ballparks and watching a lot of baseball in the sun!

“Astronautically” Awesome!

Today we went to Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  While checking out the day’s events I noticed a former astronaut would be signing autographs in the gift shop in the afternoon.  I did not tell Cami in case it did not work out time-wise.  We did our bus tour and checked out a lot of things and I asked if she wanted to get an autograph of an astronaut and she was really excited and said yes.  So, the two of us headed to the gift shop and went right up to John Blaha and got four photos signed.  On Cami’s he wrote “Cami, Shoot for the stars!”.  We went to the check out line and paid for the photos and we back with Amy and Caden before they knew it!  It was awesome to finally add an astronaut to the collection!

A Bill I was Happy To Get

Today’s mail brought a couple signed items I recently purchased.  The first was a Billy Terry signed baseball.  I was watching this baseball for about six months on eBay and did not see a nicer one listed in all that time.  I bought it from Richard Altman and it comes with a full JSA letter.
The other item that showed up was a John Roseboro 1969 Topps card I bought from littball99 on eBay.  This is a replacement for one that I had bought a while ago and did not feel it was legit.  That one ended up in the garbage and this beautiful one makes me feel better.
