Tickets – Graphin’ With Kevin

Royce!

Today was the final Twins season ticket holder autograph event and it certainly did not disappoint! It featured Yoendrys Gomez and Royce Lewis. Both were AMAZINGLY engaged with the fans. It was awesome. I told Yoendrys I hope he gets the save tonight and his response was “That means we win!”. I told Royce and Cami and I went to the Field of Dreams game and he asked what I thought of it. I told him “It was magical!” and he agreed saying it was pretty cool. I asked if he got to speak with Kevin Costner and that I did not see him there (he was interviewed prior hoping he could meet Kevin) and he said he didn’t as Kevin wasn’t there. I gave him a couple tickets and asked to inscribe each. I told him I missed the playoff game because I had covid so my brother and his wife went. He asked if I was at the other and I told him I was and he said “That’s great! No covid!” Royce commented on the silver paint pen I had for him to use that it was a great pen! He said he liked Cami’s nails too. Royce is so engaging with fans. It is a memorable experience every time I meet him. After the signing I took Cami to the airport for her flight back to Arizona. Her final school term starts Thursday!
The items I got signed today are:
Yoendrys Gomez- 2 OMLB (one for my brother)
Royce Lewis- 06.26.2026 ticket w/”1st MLB Walkoff Hit”, 10.03.2023 ticket w/”2 HR 3 RBIs” from his 2023 AL Wild Card Game 1, 09.15.23 Topps Now, 2023 Bob Ross card.

A Twins Season Ticket Holder Signing Event

Cami was in town for a couple weeks and extended her stay a few days so she could attend a Twins game. I had tickets to the game tonight so we decided we would go. I also was able to join in on a Twins season ticket holder event that had Travis Adams and Ryan Kreidler signing autographs. So, Cami and I headed to the ballpark around noon. I was able to get Travis to sign a pair of debut ticket and Ryan on a team card (bubbled unfortunately) and a baseball (for my brother). Travis commented “Ooooooo! My debut ticket!” and Ryan said “That’s really cool!”. Both were awesome! We left and headed to my parents place so Cami could see them before going back to Arizona and then back to the ballpark for the game which the Twins won!

Another Debut!

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.

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.
