A Final AAA Hurrah
With the Red Wings losing in the playoffs this weekend, it brought an end to the autographs my buddy Jon S can get me. He had already finished up my last batch of cards from the Twins AAA team and mailed them late last week. I received them today. Jon has taken great care of my Twins needs the past couple seasons. Today I received the following:
2013 Topps Aaron Hicks
2013 Topps Darin Mastroianni
2013 Gypsy Queen Scott Diamond
2012 Topps Heritage Minor Leagues Aaron Hicks All Star
Thanks a ton Jon!
What a Pretty Flower
Today I met up with Nick K (royal21 on Pat Neshek’s site) who got me Tyler Flowers a week or so ago. Nick gets me guys at the hotels and ballpark and got me a real nice Flowers. Thanks Nick!
Yet More Rookies and a Winning Bet
Today was another fun day of mail. My friend Paul C hooked me up with another batch of first round draft picks and prospects on baseballs. Today I received from him the following:
Michael Fulmer w/”1st Rd 2011″
Dustin Lawley w/”Florida St MVP 2013″ as he was the Florida State League MVP this year
Kevin Plawaki w/”2012 1st Rd”
Pierce Johnson w/”1st Round 2012″
Another great batch of baseballs from Paul!
My other package was from my friend Mike M (tigernut on SCN). This season, as we have done in the past, we have a running bet that for each series between the Twins and Tigers, the losing team would send the winning team a card from their SCN tradelist. I had won once early in the season and did not have a chance to pick out a card. Mike won too many over the rest of the season until this last series when the Twins won the series so I finally got to pick a card. The two cards I picked out were signed by Rich Becker and Bobby Richardson. Thanks Mike! GO TWINS!!!
