Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines that I had sent to Fred “Chicken” Stanley a week or so ago. He autographed each issue in the blue marker I provided as well as the location I requested. Thanks Chicken!

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!
Go West Young Man! Go West!
I have been anxiously awaiting today for a month and a half or so. David West, one of the pitchers from the 1991 Twins World Championship team, was in town for an autograph signing event. David was one of the last four members I needed on my team baseball. Cami went with me and got a photo signed for herself and I got an upgrade to a card as well as the ball signed. He asked me who was left and I told him “Bedrosian, Guthrie and …” and he said “Sorrento”. I told him he was right and he nodded his head. Pretty funny that he could guess and he knew who was missing. I am guessing a lot of people are missing Paul Sorrento.
Also, a person I purchased a Yoenis Cespedes baseball from stopped by to deliver it. Another baseball off the want list!
