A long while ago Todd S (toddschafer on SCN) had a signing with Joe West. I sent in a couple baseballs and a ticket. I requested an inscription on a ball and the ticket and when I received the items, the inscription was missing on the ticket. I contacted Todd and he said he was going to see Joe to sign other items that did not make it in by the deadline and to send it back. I sent it back and waited. Todd got COVID and was on the shelf for a bit. He was finally able to reconnect with Joe West and add the inscription to the ticket. I received it today and am very pleased with how cool it turned out! The inscription is “5,164th MLB Game Umpired” “2nd Place All Time” and is on a ticket from the 08.15.2018 Twins game.

A Double Triple
Today’s mail brought a pair of completed Triple Play tickets. Guy P (gpuglia on SCN) had a signing with both Kent Hrbek and Al Newman and both were parts of a couple triple plays including the only time in baseball history a team turned a pair of triple plays in the same game! Both signed my 07.17.1990 Red Sox ticket that Gary Gaetti already signed with “2 Triple Plays” to complete that one. The other was from 04.05.1988 that was already signed by Gary Gaetti and Steve Lombardozzi and that needed just Kent Hrbek to complete the three players involved in the triple play that game. A nice job by all involved!
Hip Hip Jose!
FanHQ had a signing with Jose Miranda today. I had acquired some tickets to his ML Debut game and had a few Topps Now cards so I decided to purchase tickets for his autograph and inscriptions and make the almost hour drive to the FanHQ store for the signing tonight. There were not many people at the event and I got there about a half hour before he was supposed to start signing. When I got to the table is was cool because Shaun, the owner of FanHQ, told Jose I liked to collect milestone tickets and spoke briefly of a focus of my collection. Jose then signed three tickets for me as well as three Topps Now cards. They turned out great. Shaun and his crew do a fantastic job on events like this. I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out.
