Today I received a pair of packages and both are related to St Louis Cardinals!
The first was a pair of baseballs that I had sent to Tom Orr for Ted Simmons to sign. When they announced that Ted Simmons made the Hall of Fame, I realized I did not have any baseballs signed by him. Tom saved the day with a signing and I now have a pair of baseballs with one signed “Hall of Fame 2020” and the other “HOF 2020”. They are both signed beautifully!
The other package was three items that Derrick B (dlbiri1s on SCN) got signed for me at the Cardinals Winter Warm Up. The items I added to the collection include an Alex Reyes ML Debut ticket with “ML Debut”, my 10.10.2016 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Jake Arrieta is now signed by Dexter Fowler as well, and the last item was a ticket stub from the 1987 World Series Game 5 signed by Danny Cox. Danny included “WP” as he was the winning pitcher in the game. I got the ticket from my buddy Steve C who is a huge Cardinals fan and a great guy.
What a fun Cardinals mail day!
