Rolls Royce

Today’s mail brought a couple really cool items for the collection. First, Royce Lewis signed four Topps Now cards that I sent to the ballpark back in August. Those cards are:
2023 Topps Now 05.29.2023 #359
2023 Topps Now 10.03.2023 #959
2023 Topps Now 10.11.2023 #995
2024 Topps Now 06.21.2024 #326
I also received a pair of the oversized Major League (the movie) cards that I picked up at the 2014 All Star Fanfest signed by Chelsie Ross. Chelsie played Eddie Harris and included each inscription I requested. On his card, #MLC-EH, he signed it with Eddie Harris and “You tryin’ to say Jesus Christ can’t hit a curveball?”. On the Jobu card, #MLC-JB, he signed it with Eddie Harris as well and included “Yo bartender. Jobu needs a refill.” and “Up your butt Jobu!” Those are three of the top quotes from the Major League movie!

What. A. Call!

Joe Davis, the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers radio station, also called the Fox Sports broadcast of the 2024 (and 2025) World Series. Some time during the past season, I sent a baseball to Joe asking for his famous call of Freddie Freeman’s walk off home run in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series. I received it today! And it is awesome! Joe signed it with his call “Freeman with a ball to right field… She is gone! Gibby, meet Freddie! Game 1 of the World Series.” Amazing call to tie the two moments together. Interesting note related to this… I have a pair of tickets from Game 1 of the 1988 World Series where Kirk Gibson hit HIS famous home run. They are both signed and inscribed by Gibby and Dennis Eckersley!
