I received three packages with autographs for the second time this week! This was just as much fun going through them as was the previous day!
I received the final spring training package as well as a 50/50 package and another Call Ball from a Yankee broadcaster.
The first box I opened was a package from Michael Kay. You may remember a couple months ago I sent a ball for his call of Derek Jeter’s home run in the World Series when he became Mr. November. I had sent him a thank you note right after receiving it but I put the wrong address on it and got it back so I sent it along with another baseball asking for his call of Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit. Mr Kay did not disappoint! I got a beautiful baseball with his call “done in grand style!” Thank you Mr Kay!
The next box was a real nice Dontrelle Willis Sports Illustrated magazine. When Brian W (pumbaa673 on SCN) posted he would do 50/50’s for Dontrelle Willis at the Fresno Grizzlies’ Welcome Home Dinner, I knew I had to send in a pair of mint newsstand SI issues I had. Brian came through big time with a gorgeous autograph on the SI. Thanks Brian!
The last box I opened was the biggest. It was the second “installment” of stuff I sent to Ethan R (ethanoah on SCN) and Kent B (doggle3 on SCN). They already knocked out a bunch of items for me that I received a few weeks ago. This box had the second group and remaining unsigned items in it. The signed highlights were:
Walt Weiss on the Sports Illustrated already signed by Dave Winfield
Yasmani Grandal ML Debut ticket
Taijuan Walker ML Debut ticket
Sonny Gray OMLB
Tyler Skaggs OMLB
Andrew Cashner OMLB
Michael Cuddyer 2011 Topps US275
Jim Thome 2011 Topps Heritage 180
I have been getting stuff signed through Ethan and Kent for a while and they never let me down! Thanks guys for another spring well done!
