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.

Miller Time!
Today I received a ticket stub I mailed out a while ago. It was from the Twins vs Yankees game on August 10, 1977 when Damien Miller made his Major League debut. Damien include “ML Debut” as I requested on the ticket and used the blue Sharpie I provided. All told, it took 196 days to get it back.
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!
