Today I received something I sent out back on April 2, 2017. I was at the Twins game on May 25, 2006 when then MN Governor Tim Pawlenty signed the bill that allowed the funding for the Twins stadium to go ahead which eventually led to Target Field being built. I came across the pair of tickets I had for that game this spring and thought it would be cool to have Tim sign it. I did not have his address so I cross referenced it with his spouse via a Google search and sent it off. Today it arrived with a short note on my letter. Pretty unique item for the collection!

Between a Rocco and a Hard Place
Today I received a couple packages I had sent out to have signed.
The first package contained a pair of tickets that Rocco Baldelli signed. Doug Keating had Rocco in as a signing guest and I mailed in a pair of tickets that were signed with inscriptions:
04.30.2003 stub with “1st MLB HR”
07.22.2004 full ticket with “1st MLB Grand Slam”
They look cool and Doug does a great job with his signings.
The other package was a request I sent to Bernie Carbo to sign a baseball with his memories of hitting the game tying home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. What I received was more of a testimonial baseball as he has found Christ and it basically turned his life around.
Sweet Lou
Today I received my 3000th hit ticket signed by Lou Brock. I had sent it to After The Game, Inc who got it signed at their signing event with Mr Brock. He signed it with “3000 Hits”.
A Rod’s Final Bow
Today I received a ticket from 08.12.2016 which features Alex Rodriguez and is signed by him as well. I bought it from Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN). In this game A Rod got his final hit (a double), at bat, and RBI.
