“That ball never came down!”

Today I received an awesome baseball from current Baltimore Orioles broadcaster Joe Angel.  Mr Angel used to broadcast for the Twins and was behind the microphone when Dave Kingman hit the ball that got stuck in the Metrodome roof.

The kids and I went to the Twins game on May 4th which happened to be against the Orioles as well as the anniversary of Dave Kingman’s hit.  On ethe way home, the Twins post game report on the radio played Mr Angel’s audio of his radio call of that moment.  I emailed my favorite Twins employee asking him if there was a way I could get a copy of that call.  He came through for me in minutes.  THANK YOU PAL!  I wrote my letter to Mr Angel with the call and received it back today.  He did a great job on it.  It goes with a Story Ball I have on that moment perfectly.

Getting the ball in the mail was a great way to kick off the weekend!

Win Twins!

Today I got an envelope with a few cards in it from my friend Jon S in Rochester, NY.  Jon has gotten me a ton of Twins cards in the past and I love what he sends me.

Today it was a 2014 Topps Oswaldo Arcia, 2014 Topps Heritage Oswaldo Arcia and a 2014 Josmil Pinto card all signed beautifully.  What was cool about the Pinto card is that it shows the players celebrating a Pinto walk off hit and in it is also Chris Colabello and Chris Herrmann who he got to signed the card too.  It looks phenomenal.  THANK YOU Jon!

A Couple 2014 First Round Picks

Today I received another package from Paul C in Florida.  He was able to nab me a Nick Gordon ball before he headed to Elizabethton to start Rookie Ball.  Nick was the Twins first round pick this year.  In addition to Nick, he also got me:
Nate Roberts (Twins)
Tyler Glasnow (Pirates) with “Go Pirates”
Michael Kopech (Red Sox) with “’14 1st Round Draft Pick”

Can’t wait for my next batch of baseball from Paul!

Another Batch of Prospects

Today I received a box from Paul C of six baseballs all signed by prospects.  I have mentioned Paul a ton of times on here in the past as he has gotten me a ton of prospects playing in Florida.  Today’s package contained:
Orlando Arcia (Brewers)
Victor Roche (Brewers) w/”1st Rd Pick 2012″
Nick Delmonico (Brewers)
Tyrone Taylor (Brewers) w/”Go Brewers!”
Jake Thompson (Tigers) w/”Go Tigers”
Eddie Rosario (Twins)
This was another great batch of baseballs!  Thanks Paul!
