Today I received a Story Ball from Handsome Ransom Jackson. Ransom hit the last home run as a Brooklyn Dodger and wrote about it. The baseball is really cool. He included a nice note and mentioned his book coming out. He wrote that he did not realize until thirty years later when his son called him that it was a question on “Good Morning America!” This was a real neat response and an awesome addition to the Story Ball Collection! Thank you Ransom!

Clark Hits the Mark
Today I received a really cool story ball from Al Clark. I happened to be reading about Al Clark and saw he umpired the game Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig’s record for consecutive games played and thought I would try sending him a baseball. He replied in a total of five days (priority mail shipping each way)! He wrote about what it was like in Baltimore that week and that it was the only time in twenty three years as an umpire that he applauded a player’s accomplishment. It is really neat! Thanks Al!
C Parm!
Today I received a 2015 Topps card signed by Chris Parmelee. I sent it back when he played in Norfolk for the Orioles AAA team. Chris is always one of the nicer players who respond to their fan mail and he did not fail me this time. Thanks Chris!
Just Dou Mit
Today I received a pair of cards I sent to Ryan Doumit for my Twins collection. He signed a 2013 Topps and a 2013 Gypsy Queen in blue Sharpie for me. Thanks Ryan!
