Today was, as is every Sunday home game for the Twins, Kids Day. That means two players will be signing autographs before the game for kids. That also means if I have tickets to the game, Cami is going with me. So, we got to Target Field and got in line. Turns out Cami was the second kid in line. The players signing were the two starters in yesterday’s double header, Trevor May and Yohan Pino. Cami was excited when she heard that because she has neither on her baseball. She does now! Both signed her baseball real nice and even smiled to Cami after she thanked them. It was a LONG day at the ballpark and the Twins lost but the day started with a pair of autographs for Cami!

Yet Another Batch of Prospects
Today I received another package of baseballs from prospects in the Florida State League that my friend Paul C got. Paul has gotten me a ton of baseballs signed the last few years from all sorts of prospects and he does a great job.
The players in this package are:
Roman Quinn w/”Go Phillies!!”
Billy McKinney
Kyle Schwaber
Tyrell Jenkins w/”2010 1st Round”
Luke Weaver w/”1st Round Pick”
Gavin Checchini w/”1st Rd 2012″
Sadly, this is probably the last batch of autographs for a while from Paul as the minor league seasons are wrapping up for the year. I cannot wait until spring training when Paul will again get more autographs for me!
Kluber Ain’t a Goober!
Today’s mail brought a baseball I sent to Chriss P (bigpog on SCN) for a signing Corey Kluber was having at GPS Gift Gallery in Rocky River, OH. I received the ball signed perfectly in blue ink on the sweetspot just as I requested. Thanks Chriss!
Lucky Seven!
Today I received seven baseballs of prospects and first round draft picks from my man Paul C. I give Paul a list of guys I want from AA teams in Florida and he gets them signed for me more times than not. Today I received the following beautiful blue ink sweetspot baseballs:
JP Crawford – Phillies
Aaron Nola – Phillies w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Michael Chavis – Red Sox w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Gregory Bird – Yankees
Angelo Gumbs – Yankees
Eric Jagielo – Yankees w/”2013 1st Round”
Aaron Judge – Yankees w/”2013 1st Rd Pick”
Yet again Paul comes through big time!
