Today I went to see Bert Blyleven. He was signing at the Twin Cities Sports Collectors Club show at the Valley West Mall in Bloomington. I had bought a ticket for he and Francisco Liriano but Francisco needed to get his arm looked at so I got a refund for him. I was only going to get the HOF postcard signed by Bert but since I got the refund for Liriano, I added a few bucks more and bought a ticket and got a ball signed with HOF 2011.
Bert was pretty cool. He stood up and shook my hand when I got to him and he asked my name. He said nice to meet you and signed each item with my pen.
Nice to get a Twin HOFer taken care of on the postcard.
Now to get Liriano on his no hitter ticket…
