Today I received something that made me pretty happy. A while ago I sent out a bunch of debut tickets and got a few back right away but have not received one in a while. Today I received a ticket stub from Brian Simmons’ Major League debut (09.21.1998). He signed it with ML Debut and included a cool note. Since his debut was at the Metrodome, he mentioned that he loved playing in the Metrodome as he first got to play there in college as part of the Michican team in the Hormel Classic. Pretty fun and neat return!

Marsh(mellow)
Today I received a baseball from umpire Randy Marsh. I sent Randy a baseball and asked him to write about what he remembered from the Twins 2009 Game #163. He wrote that he “Couldn’t hear a thing in the Dome!” That’s pretty cool because I was at that game. It was my most exciting game I have seen in person!
Feeling Chipper!
Today I received a cool baseball signed by Chip Carey. On what should have been Opening Day, MLB TV played a special game for each team on various channels. The game they chose for the Twins was Game 163 from 2009. I had a baseball already signed by Dan Gladden with his call from that game but reliving that game on Opening Day, I realized I did not have Chip Carey’s call from the game so I sent him a baseball. I got it back signed with his call perfectly! Thanks Chip!
Nice and Politte
Today I received a nice full ticket from April 2, 1998 which was the second home game of the season for the Cardinals. It was also Cliff Politte’s Major League Debut. Cliff signed my ticket in perfect blue Sharpie.
