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!

A Season Ticket Holder Event!

The last couple seasons, from June through September, the Twins have had an event for season ticket holders where a pair of players sign autographs. Today was the June session and it featured Andrew Morris and Kody Clemens. Amy and I got down to Target Field just as it started. When we got to Morris, Amy mentioned how cool it was how his mom and dad reacted to his Major League Debut. He smiled and commented how cool that video was. For Kody, Amy commented how his HR in the first last night helped her with Pick 3. He smiled and seemed to appreciate the comment.
The items we got signed were:
Andrew Morris: OMLB & 2 @ 05.03.2026 Topps Now #156
Kody Clemens: OMLB & 2 @ 09.12.2025 Topps Now #699 (one was #47/50)
I got the Clemens ball and one of each of the Topps Now cards signed for my brother.
