A while ago a friend of mine sent me a bunch of his Mariners tickets from over the years. One of them in the group was a Felix Hernandez first career win ticket. Dan Heyer (Desert Autographs) had a signing with Felix and I sent in the ticket. Felix provided a real large signature on the ticket along with “1st MLB Win”. It looks awesome!

Like him or hate him, Joe West will be a Hall of Famer some day. What he did for baseball is legendary. Todd S (toddschafer on SCN) and his company Under The Radar Sports Promotions had a signing with West and today I received the items I sent in for it. I received a pair of baseballs, one with just Joe’s name on it and the other with his name and “5460 MLB Games Umpired”, and a ticket from August 15th, 2018. The ticket is from the game when Joe umpired his 5,164th MLB game when he passed the previous second place all time leader for games umpired (Bruce Froemming). This game was at Target Field. I had asked for an inscription on it but it was missed. I will resend it back to have Joe add the inscription.
DeeeeeeeeLux!
Todays mail included a pair of items I had sent out. The first was a debut ticket, inscribed with “MLB Debut” and a baseball signed by Gavin Lux. Luis B at oneway77jc.com had Gavin in for a signing and inked up my items. I am pleased with everything Luis and his crew has taken care of for me. One Way even got a photo of Gavin signing my ticket!
The other package was a baseball I sent to Dave Schneck. Dave was on the Mets team when they played the Pirates when Roberto Clemente got his 3000th hit. I recently sent out a handful of baseballs surrounding Clemente’s hit and this is the first I got back. Dave did inscribe it with Roberto Clemente’s 3000th Hit but did not write about his memory of the event.

Today’s mail brought a 1st home run ticket signed by Luis Robert. With the 2020 season schedule being all messed up due to COVID, it turned out there were only three games for the Twins that aligned to the original schedule. Those three games were in Chicago against the White Sox. The first game was Luis Robert’s ML debut. I went looking for those tickets too late and by the time I realized it, they were selling for over $500 so I gave up on that. I did, however, pick up a few of his first home run tickets which were the following day. I sold three and kept one to get signed and today it arrived. I got it signed by Bergie’s Sportscards who worked with Sigs Graphs (Dennis Sidler) on the signing. I got “1st MLB HR” on it along with Beckett authentication.
