Today I received a pair of Call Balls from Cory Provus. These are continuing my collection of first walk off home run calls and included Cory’s call of Eddie Rosario and Byron Buxton’s walk offs in back to back nights in 2017. Cory is awesome for embracing my collection and my repeated requests.

A Couple Hall of Famers
Today I received a pair of signed items and both were from Hall of Famers. The first was my HOF Postcard I sent to Bud Selig. It game back all bubbled. Pretty disappointing. I guess I did not prep it well enough.
The second package made up for it though. I had sent four cards I needed signed by Rod Carew for my Twins card sets to David G (FinFan1972 on SCN) who attended a signing he was at. The cards David got signed for me are:
2016 Topps Now 248
2016 Gypsy Queen 328
2017 Allen & Ginter 79
2017 Gypsy Queen 315
I now have all Carew Twins cards made by Topps, Gypsy Queen, Allen & Ginter, and Topps Now.
Rookies and a Hamilton
Today I received a pair of packages. One was from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) and contained a pair of high prospect signed baseballs. One was signed by Victor Robles and the other Eloy Jimenez. They are beautiful!
The other package was from Tom Hamilton. Tom is the Indians broadcaster and I had sent him a call ball request for Francisco Lindor’s first career walk off home run but he just signed his name. He did return the donation so I guess that was cool.
Chek It Out
Today I received a pair of signed business cards from Dr David Altchek. He and Dr James Andrews are a pair of the leaders in performing Tommy John surgeries on baseball players. He signed the back of each card for me.
