Go West Young Man! Go West!

I have been anxiously awaiting today for a month and a half or so.  David West, one of the pitchers from the 1991 Twins World Championship team, was in town for an autograph signing event.  David was one of the last four members I needed on my team baseball.  Cami went with me and got a photo signed for herself and I got an upgrade to a card as well as the ball signed.  He asked me who was left and I told him “Bedrosian, Guthrie and …” and he said “Sorrento”.  I told him he was right and he nodded his head.  Pretty funny that he could guess and he knew who was missing.  I am guessing a lot of people are missing Paul Sorrento.

Also, a person I purchased a Yoenis Cespedes baseball from stopped by to deliver it.  Another baseball off the want list!

2012 Ford Frick Winner

Today I received a baseball I purchased from MLAM.  The final living Hall of Famer I needed (I include the broadcasters with them) on a baseball was Tim McCarver.  I compared prices and for a few bucks more than it would have cost me to send in to a show, I was able to get one with an inscription and MLB certified.  The one I received was perfect!

The Future Twins

Today I received three baseballs I recently purchased from Ryan C (rycomstock on SCN) of players who are highly rated prospects within the Twins organization.  The three I got are:
Byron Buxton
Miguel Sano
Oswaldo Arcia
The Buxton baseball included “2012 2nd Pick” as he was the second overall pick and the Arcia ball included his middle name Celestino.  I am excited to have these future guys in my collection.  One of the coolest parts is that Ryan put me in contact with a person living in Ft Myers, FL and is going to work on getting some more autographs at the Instructional League games.  Watch for more Twins prospects coming soon!
