Randy Bush was a guest speaker at a Twins season ticket holder event and I was surprised that I did not know anything about his 200 mile home run! It was mentioned, and confirmed, that Randy hit a home run that travelled 200 miles. I knew I had to get a story ball about that event! Today I received the ball and Randy wrote how he hit a home run in Charleston, WV for the Toledo Mud Hens and it landed on a train coal car and it kept on moving until Pittsburgh, PA! Fun story and a great baseball!

A Twins Season Ticket Holder Signing Event
Cami was in town for a couple weeks and extended her stay a few days so she could attend a Twins game. I had tickets to the game tonight so we decided we would go. I also was able to join in on a Twins season ticket holder event that had Travis Adams and Ryan Kreidler signing autographs. So, Cami and I headed to the ballpark around noon. I was able to get Travis to sign a pair of debut ticket and Ryan on a team card (bubbled unfortunately) and a baseball (for my brother). Travis commented “Ooooooo! My debut ticket!” and Ryan said “That’s really cool!”. Both were awesome! We left and headed to my parents place so Cami could see them before going back to Arizona and then back to the ballpark for the game which the Twins won!
“The Hometown Kid”
I recently sent a baseball to Dick Bremer asking him to write his call of Joe Mauer’s 2000th hit on a baseball and he did not disappoint! His call was “Up the middle and through! It will score two runs and the hometown kid reached his milestone at home!” I was at the game and was proud to be a cheering part of that moment. It was SUPER cold and I was underdressed for the weather as I swung by the ballpark ‘just in case’. I left right after the hit and didn’t warm up until I was home. But it was all worth it!
From Iowa with Love
I connected with Mike E a few years ago. Mike lives in Iowa and hooks me up with St Paul Saints players when they are in town as well as Cedar Rapids Twins minor league players. Today’s package arrived with three baseballs and a card.
The items included:
Charlie Barnes- 2022 Topps #641
Rainiel Rodriguez- OMLB
Eduardo Tait- OMLB
Dasan Hill- OMLB
And, as luck would have it, I just received a message that he got four things signed for me from the St Paul Saints! Can’t wait to receive those! Thanks Mike!
