The Big Unit and Wood

Now that I have your attention with that crazy title, I have to say I am pretty excited about what came in today’s mail.  First, I had sent a Craig Sager First Pitch insert card from the Topps Update series.  Craig has been battling cancer and it arrived today signed beautifully.  I wish him well in his fight.
Next was two packages from Tom Orr that he got signed at the recent Chicago Sun Times show.  The first box had my 3,000 K baseball.  I had all the living players who got 3,000 strikeouts except for Randy Johnson.  Tom got Randy to sign the baseball with his 4875 K total.  It looks awesome.
The other package from Tom had a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines in it.  The first was the issue from 07.07.2003 that Kerry Wood signed.  I just need Mark Prior to finish it.  Also in this package was my 1980 US Olympic Hockey team signed SI.  I had all the hockey players on it except for Mark Pavlich.  Tom got Mark to sign it and it is now complete.  I was nervous of the Olympic SI and the baseball being shipped but Tom and the USPS came through!
