Today I received a cool baseball signed by Chip Carey. On what should have been Opening Day, MLB TV played a special game for each team on various channels. The game they chose for the Twins was Game 163 from 2009. I had a baseball already signed by Dan Gladden with his call from that game but reliving that game on Opening Day, I realized I did not have Chip Carey’s call from the game so I sent him a baseball. I got it back signed with his call perfectly! Thanks Chip!

Having a Ball
Today I received a baseball that Paul C got signed for me when there was spring training. Paul has gotten me a bunch of prospect baseballs in the past from the Florida State League as he lives in Ft Myers. This baseball I received was signed by Trevor Larnach and included his “2018 1st Rd” inscription. It looks awesome! Thanks Paul!
Some Twins
Today I received the first package from the few guys I trust who went to spring training. This package came from Fort Myers and had a bunch of Twins in it. Matt H (mattyice on SCN) lives in the Fort so he was able to get to a bunch of early workouts for me. This is my second spring sending him items and I am very pleased with what he got for me. Those items are:
Ryan Jeffers – OMLB
Lewis Thorpe – 1st Win ticket with “First ML W”
Luis Arraez – Triple play ticket from 07.22.2019
Randy Dobnak – Ticket with “1st MLB Save”

Jake Cave – 2019 Gypsy Queen 156 & 2019 Topps Now Postseason
Jorge Polanco – 2019 Topps Now 4/5 & 2019 Topps Now 7/7 (said he remembered the play on the 7/7 card)
Marwin Gonzalez – 2019 Topps Heritage 553 & 2019 Topps Now Postseason
Max Kepler – 2019 Topps Now 7/21

Matt did a fantastic job on my items! Thanks Matt!
A Little More Pine Tar
Today I received a really cool baseball that was signed by Mike Armstrong. Mike was the winning pitcher in the Pine Tar Game and wrote about what he remembers from the game. Brian S (bds258 on SCN) had a private signing with Mike and I worked out a deal to send a baseball to it. I cannot express enough how happy I am with this baseball and the effort Mike and Brian put in to make it happen. Thanks guys!
