With today being the season opener for the Twins, MY calendar just flipped to summer so Happy Summer everyone! Even though is it “summer”, I received a couple spring packages today. Three to be exact! What a great mail day! I have a couple more spring packages on their way to me but today was a nice start.
The first box I opened was from Matt M (mightyswede on SCN). Matt hits the Florida spring training scene for me and came up with the following:
Wil Myers ML Debut ticket (gorgeous!)
Nick Markakis SI (already signed by Adam Jones)
Jason Grilli SI
Great job Matt and thanks!
The next box I opened was from Christian B (hheroes10 on SCN). As I mentioned in the past, Christian has been getting me autographs in Arizona for a long, long time. At least five years between the Arizona Fall League and spring training. This spring he got me the following:
Addison Reed OMLB
Adam Eaton OMLB
Wade Miley ML Debut ticket with inscription
Mark Trumbo ML Debut ticket
Tommy Lasorda SI
Christian does a great job and I cannot wait to send him my list of guys for the AZ Fall League! Thanks Christian!
The last box I opened was from my guy Paul C who works the Ft Myers area for me during spring as well as during the Florida State League minor league season. This was the final box of spring training items and he did not disappoint! The box from him contained the following baseballs:
Mookie Betts
Byron Buxton
Anthony Ranaudo
Bryce Brentz
Barry Larkin with HOF (beautiful!)
Koji Uehara
Another great box from Paul! Thanks for all the great baseballs!
I look forward to receiving the next boxes of goodies from my friends who work spring training for me!
