Today I received a baseball of what some might say is a baseball pioneer. In mid-November, 2020, Kim Ng was hired by the Florida Marlins to become the first female general manager in baseball history. I sent her a baseball via the team requesting her autograph and inscription of “1st MLB Female GM” and she did not disappoint.
The other package I received was a pair of items from a private signing that Jake R (Kowbyz8 on SCN) had with Randy Arozarena. I got a baseball and debut ticket (with ML Debut inscription) both JSA’d signed at the event.

Who’s Your Vladdy?
Today I received something that has been out a while. Last season I missed sending in a debut ticket from Vladimir Guerrero’s Major League debut to a signing. I heard the promoter (Jamie B- jamieblye on SCN) was going to have another signing with him at some point during the off season. I think because of COVID it was delayed until the start of Spring Training. It showed up signed with just his name. I had paid for an inscription but it turned out he was only signing his name this time so I received a refund on the inscription fee. I now have a signed debut ticket from both Vladimir Guerrero Sr and Jr!
Pat Mahomes!
No, not THAT Pat Mahomes. THAT Pat Mahome’s father Pat. A year or so (?) my pal Jeff D from the Seattle area gave me a bunch of Mariners tickets from all the games he went to and saved. I got a couple signed and today I added another. On April 21, 1992 Pat Mahomes got his first Major League win and Jeff was there! IBExclusives and PastPros recently had a signing with Mahomes and I sent in the ticket and received it today. They got Pat to sign it with “1st ML Win”. It looks great!
Tony O
Today I received a really cool addition to my collection. On Opening Day, April 6, 1973 the Twins were at Oakland playing the A’s. With Catfish Hunter on the hill for the A’s and in his first at bat, Tony Oliva hit a home run becoming the first person to homer as a designated hitter. I acquired the ticket stub a couple months ago and sent it in for FanHQ’s autograph session with Tony O. Tony signed it with “1st DH HR”. Shaun and his crew at FanHQ do an awesome job with things. I am excited with how this ticket turned out!
