Today was super cool. While on vacation, I attended the Washington Nationals game. What made it cooler was the I attended with Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) and his wife. Chris and I did some ‘graphing before the game by the Marlins dugout. I was hoping for fellow Minnesotan Max Meyer but he did not come out of the dugout before the game. Connor Norby, however, did. I got Connor to sign a baseball for me. It was pretty fun to see Chris in action and to get Connor on a ball. I should be getting a box of signed baseballs from Chris soon as he has been getting a bunch of balls signed for me all season so far! It was really fantastic to attend the game and meet Chris. He is a cool dude!

All Arraez!
Luis Arraez was a huge fan favorite when he played for the Twins and still is even on his third team since then. Fan HQ set up a signing with him so I sent in my last three cards I needed and received them back signed perfectly! I received:
2023 Topps #289
2023 Topps Heritage #201
2022 Topps Now 10.05.2022 #1028
That closes the book on my Arraez needs for my Twins sets!
A Super Return
Jim Perry won the 1970 AL Cy Young award while pitching for the Twins. I sent him a 1971 Topps Super card to sign. Today I received it. He signed it real nice but forgot the zero in his “1970 Cy Young” inscription. Oh well. Close enough!
Almost Perfect
After attending the HOF induction last summer, the family went to a Tigers game at Comerica Park. While there, the Authentics kiosk had tickets for sale. They were $10 each and in envelopes so I bought three of them. Two were clunkers but the third was from Armando Galarraga’s game when he was perfect for 8.2 innings and would have had a perfect game but the umpire missed the call at first base calling the runner safe in error. I saw that Donnie D (macy225 on SCN) was attending a show where Armando was signing so I sent in that ticket. Today I received it signed and inscribed with “Almost Perfect”. It is a pretty cool ticket for the collection!
