Joe Davis, the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers radio station, also called the Fox Sports broadcast of the 2024 (and 2025) World Series. Some time during the past season, I sent a baseball to Joe asking for his famous call of Freddie Freeman’s walk off home run in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series. I received it today! And it is awesome! Joe signed it with his call “Freeman with a ball to right field… She is gone! Gibby, meet Freddie! Game 1 of the World Series.” Amazing call to tie the two moments together. Interesting note related to this… I have a pair of tickets from Game 1 of the 1988 World Series where Kirk Gibson hit HIS famous home run. They are both signed and inscribed by Gibby and Dennis Eckersley!

Cookie Monster!
I really enjoy completing multi-player items. Today’s mail brought in a return from Cookie Rojas. Cookie signed my wire photo that I had Tony Oliva sign recently. It completes the item!
Garvey
Going through a box of Baseball Digest magazines, I came across four real nice Steve Garvey issues. I saw he signed for $25 per item so I sent them off to him. Today I received them back… all four signed perfectly! The issues I received are:
February, 1975
October, 1977
June, 1979
January, 1982
Marcelo
I recently purchased a Marcelo Mayer baseball from Michael Witemore Jr via Facebook and received it today. I had wanted a Mayer baseball for a while so when Michael had a pair for sale, I jumped at the opportunity!
