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.
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…
