Merry Christmas To Me!

Actually, Merry Christmas to everyone (all two of you who reads this)!

Today’s mail brought an MVP and a 30 Game Winner!  First, Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) attended a fundraiser for a local Michigan Food Shelf where Denny McLain was signing autographs for donations.  I sent him a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines and he got one signed for me!

The other package was awesome.  This past summer Josh Hamilton was on the cover of a Sports Illustrated magazine so I sent it off to him.  I received it just in time to be my Christmas present from him.  Josh is one of the best signers in the game for as good of a player he is.  Thanks Josh!

A different kind of autograph

Today I received a note from Al Worthington.  It was a nice thank you note.  I recently purchased a nice lot of items and with it was about 25 little cards with Al on it in a Twins uniform.  On the back was a note about his love of Jesus and how important of a role religion plays in his life.  I kept a couple and sent the rest to Al with a note thanking him for all he has done signing autographs for fans like me and that he should have these cards more than me.  His note thanked me and in it he said that the photo on it was his most favorite one of all he had as a player.  That was cool!

The Twins Trifecta

Quick.  Name the only person who played for, managed and broadcasted for the Twins?

Hint… he got two hits in one inning of Game 1 of the 1965 World Series…

Give up?  Frank Quilici.

Today I received a ticket stub from Game 1 of the 1965 World Series signed by Mr Quilici with “2 hits in one inning”.  Pretty neat addition to the collection!
