Since Fall of 2009, I have used the services of Christian B (hheroes10 on SCN) in obtaining autographed from both Spring Training and the Arizona Fall League. This Fall was no different. Today I received an awesome box of some of the top prospects in the AZ Fall League that Christian got for me. They are:
Jorge Alfaro
Albert Almora
Colin Moran
Corey Seager
Austin Hedges
Delino DeShields Jr
Kyle Crick
Tyler Austin
Each Fall every team sends their top prospects to AZ to play in the fall league. Christian has gotten me some great future players in the past like Mike Trout among others. Let’s hope one of these turns into the next Mike Trout! Thanks Christian!

The Last Batch of Rookies for 2013
Today’s mail brought the last batch of baseballs that my buddy Paul C got me from the Florida State League and the Florida Instructional League teams. I have mentioned all the baseballs Paul has gotten me over this past summer and with the end of the baseball season, he sent me the last, and largest, batch of baseballs yet:
Jose Berrios
Ty Buttrey
Ryne Stanek
Blake Snell
Nick Ciuffo
Max Kepler
Luke Bard
Jon Denney
Thanks for a great summer of autographs Paul!
What a Pro(far)!
Five days ago I sent a baseball to Eric Nadel and I received it today in a record turnaround. Not only did I get it to and from Texas, it was signed really, really cool. You may remember my call ball of Bryce Harper’s first career walk off home run. On 9/26, Jurickson Profar hit his first career walk off. I thought Profar’s call would be really cool to go with Harper’s so I sent a ball off to the Ranger’s broadcaster. He inscribed it with his call. If that was not cool enough, I asked him about sending another baseball for his call of another memorable baseball event and he said he would sign it for me. You will have to wait to find out that historic call…
2013 NL ROY?
I have wanted a baseball signed by the Marlins’ Jose Fernandez since about the all star break and received one today. The ball I bought was signed at a spring training season ticket holders event and is pristine on a pristine baseball. I bought it from Rob H (amazingmets on neshek.com). I am pretty excited to have this young phenom’s autograph in my collection.
