A Stark Return

Today I received a baseball I had sent out at the end of July. I should have known it was a bad time to send it with the trade deadline and then the playoffs coming up but Jayson Stark signed my baseball and included “2019 J G Taylor Spink Award” on it. It looks great and is a real nice addition to my collection. Jayson also included a note apologizing for it taking so long. Thanks Jayson!

Ari

Today I received a couple items signed by Ari Fleischer. Ari was the Press Secretary during 9/11 and tweets what was happening real time every 9/11 anniversary. I get chills and am brought back to 9/11/01 every anniversary based on his tweets. It is something everyone should follow if they are on twitter.
This 9/11 reminded me I wanted to add his autograph to my collection so I sent his book “Taking Heat” along with a signature card to his office and received both signed today along with a nice note from him. Thanks Ari!

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!
