Be My Valentine!

Today I received three items to add to my autograph collection.  The first was the Bobby Valentine regional Sports Illustrated magazine.  I sent it to Scott S (the SI King) for a private signing he was doing.  It turned out great!

I also received a baseball I sent to a player who only played one game in the Major Leagues, John Paciorek.  He signed the baseball about his game and what he has done since his baseball career finished.  It is a neat baseball!

Lastly I received an Andy Pettitte baseball I bought from Justin M (jwm202 on SCN).

Maddog and Killer

Today I received my 3000 Strikeout baseball that I sent in to a LOJO private signing with Greg Maddux.  I added Maddog with his 3371 K’s inscription.  I now have all the living pitchers with 3000 strikeouts except Randy Johnson.  I hope to get him on it someday.

I also received a 1964 Topps AL HR Leaders card signed by Harmon Killebrew that I bought off eBay.  It is PSA encapsulated.

Another Group of Future Stars!

Today I received a box from my guy Paul C in Ft Myers.  I have mentioned Paul quite a few times recently as he is working the Florida State League which is Class A for the minors.  This group brought in a couple Twins prospects as well as a couple from the Marlins.  One of the Twins one is Miguel Sano.  This is my fourth different Sano baseball and the fourth different signature version of his.  I have no idea how many he has but there are at least four!

The baseballs I got are:
Miguel Sano
Eddie Rosario
Justin Nicolino
Jose Urena
As always, thanks Paul!

A Few Rookies

Today I received a package from Paul C who lives in Ft Myers.  He worked spring training games for me and is now working the minor leagues.  I received the following baseballs from him:
Jonathon Schoop
Alen Hansen
Gregory Polanco
Will Middlebrooks (from spring training)

Thanks Paul!
