Mid-September last season Bryce Eldridge was called up and made his Major League debut. MLB Legends was offering a signing with him this spring so I sent in the ticket and received it back today signed beautifully with “MLB Debut”. I also purchased a Leo DeVries signed baseball and that was with the ticket.

Kitty Kaat
Mike Macguire has been Jim Kaat’s agent for years and recently announced that Jim won’t be able to attend Twinsfest anymore due to mobility issues and it being icy, etc in January. When I read that I knew that if I wanted my 2025 Allen & Ginter card signed I had to send it to Mike so when he saw Jim next he would get it inked up. Today I received it signed perfectly in blue Sharpie! It brings me within two of the 2025 Ginter Twins set!
Caught a Trout!
Today is one of those days that I am really excited with the mail. More so than usual! During Spring Training, Legends Memorabilia had a signing, like they do every year, with Mike Trout. I had two of my 2014 All Star Game ticket strips signed by the Futures Game MVP (Joey Gallo) and the Home Run Derby winner (Yoenis Cespedes) and just needed the All Star Game MVP, Mike Trout to complete it. I mailed one in due to the expensive fee for the autograph and it arrived signed by Trout today. It is something that has a ton of memories in it as well as ink on each ticket. Hopefully next spring I will be able to send in the other strip and complete that one too!
The other item I received today was my second to last 1986 Expos Provigo card… this time signed by Jeff Reardon. I wonder if he thought it was odd a MN address was sending him an Expos card instead of a Twins card. It looks awesome signed.
Another Spring Package!
Today’s mail brought another package of spring training signed items. Today’s package was from Wesley George. Wesley spends spring training driving around Florida obtaining autographs during spring training. The package included:
Joe Ryan- 2025 Topps Heritage #276 & 2026 Topps #54

Ryan Jeffers – 2026 Topps #315
Byron Buxton – 2026 Topps #255
I’m excited to knock these off my list!
