Today I received a real nice box of goodies I had sent in to Tom Orr for the Chicago Sports Spectacular. I have worked with Tom MANY times and have never been disappointed and this time was no different. I was able to get a Baseball/1975 magazine with Lou Brock on the cover signed. It has a cool photo of Lou sliding back to first base after a pickoff attempt. I also got the 03.05.2012 Sports Illustrated signed by Ozzie Guillen and my 300 win baseball signed by Tom Glavine with ” 305 W’s”. All items are awesome! Thanks Tom!

Nice Pair!
Today I received a pretty cool pair of mail packages. The first was a Super Sports magazine from August 1970 which features Lou Brock and Pete Rose on the cover. I bought this magazine from Matt Keen because I had never seen it before and it was in perfect shape with both players signing it. It is a cool addition to the non-SI magazine collection!
The other package was a baseball I sent to former umpire Bob Davidson. I asked about the time he ejected Montreal Expos mascot Youppi and he replied on the baseball. You can read more about the ejection here. Pretty funny stuff.
A Stark Return
Today I received a baseball I had sent out at the end of July. I should have known it was a bad time to send it with the trade deadline and then the playoffs coming up but Jayson Stark signed my baseball and included “2019 J G Taylor Spink Award” on it. It looks great and is a real nice addition to my collection. Jayson also included a note apologizing for it taking so long. Thanks Jayson!
My Favorite Martin
Today I received an MLB certified Martin Perez signed baseball from my buddy Rob. He asked me for a little assistance on an Excel project he was working on and to my great surprise and happiness, a beautiful Martin Perez baseball showed in the mail a couple days later. I told Rob he did not have to send me anything but he insisted. It is a cool addition to my collection. Thanks pal!
