Today I finally received the final item I sent to MLAM for their spring training signings. Major League Alumni Marketing had a signing with a number of players this spring and I had received all my packages except one. Today I received my Lanny Frattare scorecard from 5/27/2008 when Jay Bruce made his major league debut. I already have a ticket from the game signed by Bruce and when I had the chance to purchase Lanny Frattare’s scorecard from the game, I did and knew I would want it signed some day. Jay signed the scorecard on his row on the scorecard and added “ML Debut”. It turned out beautifully and I am real happy!

Thanks Gaylord!
Today I received a rather odd package. Last week I received a pair of magazines that I had mailed to Gaylord Perry with his fee. The magazines were not signed at all and my cash was not returned. However, someone wrote “O.K. Baseball is great!” on my note. It made no sense to me and I was disappointed. Well, today I received a priority mail envelope and inside was a jersey that was signed by Gaylord Perry with HOF inscription. I am a bit unsure still on what to make of it. It was intentionally sent to me as someone hand wrote my address on the label and Gaylord’s address in the return spot. I do not collect jerseys but this was a pretty interesting thing to happen to me.
A Major League Card!
Today I received a card signed by Chelsie Ross who played Eddie Harris in the movie Major League. This card is a 5″x7″ card from the special set produced by Topps for the 25th anniversary of the movie. It is authenticated by Beckett. I bought it on eBay from trsent. This card goes well with the Charlie Sheen card I got signed earlier this summer.
Just The Artifact
Today I experienced a few seconds of my 15 minutes of fame. As a follow up to a tweet I posted as a reply to a Twins Radio Network post, I was contacted and asked to discuss a signed ticket I have in my collection. Here is the interview as it aired on the Twins Pregame Radio show on July 7, 2017.
