In A Haze(n)

Today I received a pair of packages in the mail. The first was a pair of signed business cards from Mike Hazen. Mike is the GM for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The other package came from Chad L (TheChad on SCN). Chad has hooked me up over the last couple years with Twins autographs from Rochester, NY where the AAA team is. This package has the following cards signed beautifully in blue:
2019 Topps Trevor Hildenberger
2019 Topps Ronald Torreyes
2019 Topps Now Future Jake Cave ROY
Thanks Chad for your help this season!

An Auction Win

I recently signed up for Mile High Card Company’s auctions when they had a lot of older Twins ticket stubs for sale. I did not win it but the next auction that rolled around had a 1969 Topps card I needed for my collection. I won a PSA encapsulated Jerry Crider card. I received it today.
Also in the mail was a business card signed by Brodie Van Wagenan. Brodie is the EVP & GM for the Mets.

A Fair Day

Today Cami and I went to the MN State Fair for a few hours. It was fun to hang out with her and bum around the fairgrounds. I noticed that Tony Oliva was going to be there so I grabbed a couple of the items I had for the Twins Hall of Fame Breakfast (he did not attend) and put them in a notebook. We got to the Fair and went to the Twins booth and found Tony O was tossing Wiffleballs to kids in the Wiffleball field. We walked around and got some food and went back just in time as he sat down to sign a few autographs. Cami got a 2019 Allen & Ginter and a 1968 Atlantic card signed. I got a 2019 Allen & Ginter signed as well. He was in a great mood taking pictures and signing autographs. We had a great day at the Fair!
