Today was a Sunday Twins game we had tickets to so that meant Cami was going to the game with me. We got there early so she could get in line for autographs. The players who were signing were Neal Cotts and Tyler Duffey. Cami got signature cards signed by each player. When she got to Tyler, she said “You have an awesome curveball!”. What was cool was Tyler was all business signing everything and rarely looking up. When Cami said that he looked up and smiled to her and thanked her. That was pretty cool. We had a blast at the game and afterwards we stuck around so she could run the bases.

Awesome Eddie
Eddie Rosario was signing autographs today at the Cub Foods in Crystal. It so happened that I was off work and heading to Caden’s state baseball tournament in Big Lake and it worked out that Crystal was on the way. I picked up Caden’s friend Cayden at 11 am and headed to Cub Foods. We got there about 25 minutes before he was supposed to start signing. My family was at Eddie’s Major League debut and witnessed him hitting a home run on his first pitch. It was awesome. Before that though, Cami and I reserved a game used baseball from that game and knew we were going to get it signed at some point. Today was that moment. We got to him and I explained we were at the game and bought the two baseballs and requested an inscription on the ball. He signed each of our baseballs with “1st Game MLB Debut 5/6/15”. They look really cool. Caden got a ticket from that game signed with “MLB Debut Home Run”. Cayden got a couple cards signed for his collection. Afterwards we got in the car and got to Big Lake in time to start warming up. We ended up winning that game so it was a great day all around!
Happy Father’s Day To Me!
Today Cami and I went to the Twins game against the Cubs. As is our Sunday tradition, Cami wanted to get autographs in the Kids Only Autograph Line before the game. She found out the signers were Kennys Vargas and Kurt Suzuki. She asked if I had anything for them and I told her I had the two Heritage cards from this year and she said she would get them signed for me for Father’s Day. That was pretty cool. So, I have my first two 2015 Topps Heritage cards signed for my set! Thank you Cami! It was awesome going to the game with you! Love you!
Happy For Javy!
Today I went to the Iowa Cubs game with the kids and Caden’s baseball team. We were all in Des Moines for a baseball tournament and it worked out that the Cubs were in town so we got forty tickets and everyone went. It was a blast. Cami, Caden’s friend Cayden, and I got to the ballpark just as the gates opened. It had rained up to that point so the tarp was on the field and the players were not out taking batting practice. The three of us waited where the players take the field and most walked past us. Cayden and Cami saw that Corey Seager (the number five prospect in baseball) was going to the Dodgers’ dugout and decided to head there. I had a ML debut ticket of Javier Baez that I was hoping to get signed so I waited halfway down the third base line watching him warm up. Once he was done, we went to a couple kids and signed for them and posed for a photo and then signed my ticket. I was really excited. On the other side of the field Cayden and Cami were able to get Corey Seager. They also got another player after the game. Cami conned me into buying her a game used signed bat but Chris Valaika.
We all had a blast and the kids got on the scoreboard video screen twice! Unfortunately for the Cottage Grove Wolfpack, they only won one game and lost three on the weekend. It was fun though!
