Today Cami and I headed to the Twins game to spend the afternoon rooting on our favorite team. As we do every Sunday game, we get in line for the kids’ autograph event before the game. While waiting in line, she got TC to sign her baseball. Today’s signers featured Jamey Carroll and Anthony Swarzak. I had a card I wanted signed by Carroll and Cami already had Swarzak on her baseball. I asked her if she would like her baseball signed or my card signed by Jamey Carroll. She said “Since it is Father’s Day, I will get the card signed for you!” So, she got Jamey on a 2013 Topps card for dad. What an awesome girl! Thanks Cami!

Oh Balls!
Today I received a nice box of baseballs I purchased through Major League Alumni Marketing (MLAM). All the baseballs are MLB Authenticated and signed beautifully on the sweetspot. I am happy to add them to my collection… especially the Beltre!

A Day of Sports Illustrated Magazines!
Today I received two packages and both had signed Sports Illustrated magazines in them.
The first was an issue from October 21, 1974 that I had recently received back signed from Steve Yeager. This time I got it back from Bill Buckner. It is now signed by everyone I can distinguish on the cover. All four players. Time to retire the issue unless someone can determine who the A’s player in the picture with Steve Yeager is and he is a decent signer.
My other package contained four issues I purchased from Kevin H (justcrazy on SCN). These were all obtained in person by him over the years. This group of four includes:
Jim “Catfish” Hunter- October 23, 1972
Lou Brock- July 22, 1974
Bump Wills- March 28, 1977
Jim Rice- April 9, 1979
Nice lot of three Hall of Famers and a son of a baseball legend (Maury Wills).
Win Twins!
Today I received a 1974 Topps Twins Manager card I bought from Brian L (brl212 on SCN). What makes this one special is that it is signed by Ralph Rowe and Bob Rodgers in addition to Frank Quilici. I had one signed by Mr Quilici already but needed the other three. This card has two of the other three I needed so it is a nice upgrade!
