Today I received a really neat magazine back from Bobby Richardson. I mailed him the April 1961 Dell Sports Magazine that I got Whitey Ford to sign a month or so ago and he signed it beautifully. I see a private signing coming up with Bill Mazeroski so I am going to send it off for that and I will only need one more on it… Hal Smith. It is a neat magazine and considering it shows the two teams on the previous World Series makes it even neater.

Bye Bye Bones
Today I received a package I was a little nervous sending. It had my 10.28.1985 Sports Illustrated magazine already signed by Ozzie Smith in it. I mailed that issue and a 11.04.1985 SI issue to Steve Balboni along with a new silver paint pen and a blue Sharpie. I followed it as it went from one place and then was forwarded to another and I got pretty nervous but Mr Balboni came through for me. Not only did he sign each one perfectly but he used each pen on each magazine AND returned my donation I sent. Awesome all the way around. Thanks Steve!
All Betts Are Off
Today I received my package from Steve S (cosmo on SCN) from the Red Sox Winterfest. I had mailed him a few things to get signed but from everything I read, the operation of the Winterfest was a mess. Steve did manage to get me a ML Debut ticket signed by Mookie Betts though. We had agreed on a price and everything to get it signed but Steve said I did not have to pay. I am sending him some cards I got signed at Twinsfest last week as thanks.
Coo Coo C’Choo, Mrs. Robinson
Today I received a couple items from Rachel Robinson via the Jackie Robinson Foundation. I sent a Hall of Fame Postcard and the 05.05.1997 Sports Illustrated magazine along with a donation and received them back signed real nice along with a thank you note.
