Today I received a card I purchased from Matt P (mpgobrowns on SCN) of Ryan Doumit. It was his 2014 Topps #220. Ryan is no longer playing baseball so it is nice to get one of the remaining few I need of his signed. Thanks Matt!

Double Your Fun!
Today I received a pair of packages with some nice autographed items in them.
The first was a Sports Illustrated magazine I bought from Steiner Sports when they ran a recent sale on them. I picked up a MLB certified, no label, 07.17.2000 issue of Jason Giambi. It was a real nice issue.
The other package was the second half of items that Kent B (doggle3 on SCN) got for me in spring training in Arizona. This box had the following:
Tommy Lasorda 03.14.1977 Sports Illustrated
Brett Lawrie 1st Career HR ticket
Yangervis Solarte ML Debut ticket
Will Middlebrooks ML Debut ticket with “MLB Debut”
Andrew Cashner ML Debut ticket with “MLB Debut”
Kent does an amazing job in spring training and throughout the season!
Vote For Pedro!
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!
