Justin Time

Man, let me tell you… Fan HQ does an awesome job handling your autograph needs. I sent in three tickets to a private signing with Justin Morneau and they were returned today and they are awesome. I sent in a ticket from Justin’s last game and he included “Final Game” as well as a pair of tickets each already signed by Tony Bautista from the triple play on 05.27.2006. All are great and well done!

Go West Young Man

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!

Sosa Good

Bill M (nosamm on SCN) had Edmundo Sosa in for a signing event. I found out about it just before the mail deadline so even sending priority mail they arrived the morning of the event. I mailed a pair of tickets from his MLB Debut that my buddy in St Louis attended and sent me his tickets for my collection. I received them signed perfectly with MLB Debut today. They look awesome!
