Today’s mail brought a nice envelope with a pair of items from Whitey Herzog. For the longest time I have had a picture of Whitey and Tom Kelly shaking hands before Game 1 of the 1987 World Series already signed by TK and finally decided to mail it to Whitey along with a HOF Postcard. Both were signed beautifully in blue Sharpie.

He Gone!
Today I received a ball from Ken ‘Hawk’ Harrelson. Hawk is the White Sox broadcaster. I had requested his call of Tyler Flowers’ walk off in extra innings this season but all he wrote was “He Gone”
Another package I received was the final Michael Cuddyer card I needed for my collection. Last week I received a card of Cuddyer’s I sent in for a private signing but screwed up and sent in the wrong one. The person who had the private signing had the 2011 Allen & Ginter card for sale. It is in black so I may upgrade down the road but for now, I have all the Cuddyer cards I need.
A Pair of Hall of Famers
Today’s mail brought a great package from a local signing I could not attend. Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) took care of getting Paul Molitor to sign a full season ticket from his 3,000th hit game with inscription for me. He also added Brooks Robinson to my 10.19.1970 Sports Illustrated magazine. I now have had three guys on the cover to sign it!
A Cuddy and a Pair of Aggies
Today I received a pair of envelopes with signed cards in them. The first was from a private signing Shaun H (via fanhqstore.com) with Michael Cuddyer. Unfortunately, I screwed up and sent in a card I already had signed. I needed one more card and it turned out I sent in one I already had. I will wait for the next signing Shaun has with Cuddy to get the 2011 Allen & Ginter card signed.
The other envelope contained a pair of Rick Aguilera cards that Jesus C (jeserone on SCN) got signed for me at a recent event where Aggie attended. Jess lives in California and has hooked me up in the past. The two Aggie cards are the last two I needed for my signed Twins card project. They are the 1998 Topps #95 and the 1999 Topps #158. Both were signed beautifully in blue Sharpie.
