Today I received a card I bought from Courtland S (cort10 on SCN). Courtland got Pedro Florimon to sign a 2014 Topps #568 card for me. Since he was no longer with the Twins, I am glad to knock this one off the need list! Thanks Courtland!

Not A Bor(as)ing Package!
Today I received a baseball from Christian B (hheroes10 on SCN) who recently got back from Arizona after a week there. He was unable to get any of the items I sent to him signed but did sell me some baseballs he got signed this spring and previous springs by other players. The balls I got today are:
Clint Frazier w/”Indians #1 Pick”
Chris Sale
Jedd Gyorko
Leonys Martin
Raisel Iglesias
Scott Boras
While I am not a fan of Scott Boras’ tactics when negotiating for his clients, I do think he, much like Dr Frank Jobe and Dr James Andrews, have an amazing influence on the game.
It was a real nice box of baseballs!
Hurt Me!
Today I received a baseball signed by Frank Thomas. Leaf Authentics was running a special on them and could not pass it up. I got one from them a couple weeks ago that had the “Big Hurt” inscription. This one today has “HOF 2014”. Not bad at all!
Vacation Mail Day
One part of coming home that was actually fun was seeing all the mail piled up in the house. My in-laws are awesome and not only watched the crazy dog for us but also got the mail each day and kept watch of things at home. Going through the mail yielded the following items:
- Joc Peterson signed baseball I sent in to a private signing with this top prospect via Lojo Sports
- Bill Mazeroski to complete my 1961 Dell Sports Baseball Magazine. It has Maz, Whitey Ford, Bobby Richardson and Hal Smith on it and looks awesome.
- Roger Clemens, Frank Thomas, and Juan Lagares signed baseballs via a promotion Leaf Authentics ran at a nice price.
It was a nice run of mail to go through!
