Roe Roe Roe Your Boat

Back in late April, 2013 I sent a baseball to Roe Skidmore asking him to write about his one at bat in the Major Leagues and his 1.000 batting average.  Today I received a really nice note from him apologizing for the long delay in getting it returned to me and that it got put in a corner of his office behind a file cabinet and he just found it.  His note was awesome as was the baseball.  I really appreciate former players like Mr Skidmore who genuinly cares about people who send requests to them.  Thanks Mr Skidmore!

Is Bud my Bud?

Today I received a baseball back I sent to Bud Selig.  I waited until he was for sure going to retire because I wanted it to be signed with his tenure as commissioner.  Well, I sent a ball with the request of having his years as well as some of the things he was proud of written on the ball and I got back a ball with just his name.  Since he has been out of the office travelling around doing baseball things, most recently getting a museum named after him in San Diego, I am guessing that this was a pre-signed baseball that was swapped out for mine and he never saw my letter.  Oh well.  Maybe I will try again down the road.

Oh Balls!

Today I received an awesome package of baseballs I purchased from Sid’s Graphs. I first heard of Dennis Sidler when I purchased some baseballs from him years ago on eBay.  I recently found his website and placed an order.  Today I received the following baseballs:
Arismendy Alcantara PSA Rookie
Carlos Correa PSA Rookie
Kevin Gausman – PSA Rookie
Jonathan Schoop PSA Rookie
Andrelton Simmons – PSA
Mark Melancon
I am really excited to add these to my collection and look forward to placing another order with Dennis soon!
