Mike Torrez!

Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Mike Torrez. The issue is from 09.24.2018 and shows a photo of him giving up Bucky Dent’s home run in 1978. One is now complete with Torrez, Bucky Dent, Carlton Fisk, and the umpire Don Denkinger. The other issue is missing just Fisk. I have another issue missing just Torrez but since this was the first time working with Jeff C (JB Autographs on Facebook), I did not want to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak. I am very pleased with how these turned out!

A Triple Triple Play!

Today I received the second package I was waiting on from Chris R (rifon on SCN)’s signing with Gary Gaetti. This package had three tickets from Twins triple plays. Gary inscribed each and signed each exactly was I requested. They are awesome. The tickets are:
8/8/83 signed by Gary with “Triple Play” (this was already signed by Kent Hrbek)
4/5/88 signed by Gary with “Triple Play”
7/17/90 signed by Gary with “2 Triple Plays”
Now to get the other players involved to sign them…

Nice Kitty

Today I received the first of two packages from Chris R (rifon on SCN) who held private signings with Gary Gaetti and Jim “Kitty” Kaat. I have gotten Kaat a number of times over the years but did not realize until recently that I did not have him on my 1965 Twins team baseball. I included that baseball and now have 21 players from the 1965 Twins post season roster on it. I also sent in a 5″x7″ postcard from 1965 and Jim signed that real nice. I found a fairly beat up ticket from Game 1 of the 1987 ALCS and sent that in for Gary to sign. He signed it with “2 HR’s” and “1987 ALCS MVP” as I requested.
I realized after I mailed this in that I had some other tickets for Gary to sign so I sent those in separately and should receive those soon!
