I finally did something today I meant to do for a while. I got Sue Nelson’s autograph on a baseball. Sue is the Twins organist. I visited her many times over the years but never got her autograph on a ball. Before the Twins game today I went up to the area her organ is located at and saw my buddy Ron getting her autograph as well. I brought her some Target Field cards so she could hand them out to kids since the Twins do not have a card of her own or anything like that. She seemed very pleased. She then signed my baseball with Twins Organist. It looks great. She is great. It was a fun time.

Prospects Like Crazy!
If you are one of the very few people who follow this crazy blog you will recognize ChrisL999 from SportsCollectors.net. Chris loves chasing autographs and has become on of my favorite guys to get autographs for me. He works the teams that come to the Virginia/Baltimore/Washington areas for me. Today I received his latest package of signed baseballs. These are all signed beautifully in blue ink on the sweetspots of a bunch of highly ranked prospects and current MLB phenoms.

I appreciate all the work Chris L gets done for me. He has already started another batch for me!
Elly’s Not Smelly
Jim F (jimfalbo21 on SCN) advertised a signing with Elly de la Cruz with a due date which turned out to be a couple days after he was called up to the Reds. It would have been easy for him to cancel this signing and listed one at a higher price but he kept his cost at what it was before the call up which is commendable. I found out about the signing a little late to get a couple baseballs in so I purchased his stock items. I received them today and after a few days at the Major League level he is a heck of a player! I already had one ball signed by him at Redsfest but wanted to add a couple. Now to get my MLB Debut tickets signed…
Holy Smoke! Prospects Abound!
If you have followed this silly blog, you would know that I have a guy named Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) who gets me a ton of prospects on baseballs. I typically send him a dozen baseballs and let him decide who he is going to see and trust his judgement that the player is “ball worthy”. He does an amazing job for me and gets me a lot of the Top 100 Prospects. Today I received a box with the following baseballs signed on the sweetspot in beautiful blue ink:
Stone Garrett
Brock Porter
Jake Irvin
Robert Hassell
Parker Messick
Lane Thomas
Wilmer Flores (Tigers Pitcher Prospect and brother of the other Wilmer Flores)
Samuel Basallo
Colt Keith
Frank Mozzicato
Chris has already put a dent into the next dozen of baseballs I just sent him! Thanks Chris!
