Today I received one of the Triple Play tickets I had sent in for Gary Gaetti to sign a few months ago but this time Steve Lombardozzi scribbled his name on it. I now have two of the three players to be a part of the Triple Play on Opening Day 1988 in New York on the ticket. I need Kent Hrbek to complete the trifecta. The Twins lost Opening Day 1988, their first game after winning Game 7 of the World Series the prior October, but they did turn a memorable triple play.

Big Sexy!
Today I received my debut ticket back signed by Big Sexy Bartolo Colon! I sent the ticket to Trent A (Albert2011 on SCN) who had a private signing with Bartolo. I paid to have him add “ML Debut” on it which he did. Bartolo made his debut on 04.04.1997 at Anaheim Stadium when he played for the Indians. Pretty fun little ticket!
Finals Tickets
Today I received three tickets I sent to Shaun H (FanHQ on SCN) for his autograph roadtrip. The tickets were season ticket varieties of the Dome Opener and Final Game (before #163 came about) from the final season at the Metrodone. Gary Gaetti signed a pair of Dome Opener tickets and Frank Viola signed the Final Game ticket. These tickets are pretty cool as they have three players on each that had great moments at the Metrodome. As always, Shaun did a perfect job with my items!
A Cressend-wich Sandwich
Today I received another debut ticket that I sent out back in February. Today’s ticket was for Jack Cressend’s debut and he signed it with “ML Debut”. What is cool about it was that when he opened my package he ripped the corner of my sase and cut the stamp. He took the time to write my address on the envelope and use his own stamp to get me the ticket.
