Today’s mail brought a couple great packages. One was the one I mentioned yesterday and the other was from my buddy Ryan A who attended the Chicago Sun Times show last weekend.
As expected, Chris Potter came through with the two Lee Lacy autographed Sports Illustrated magazines from his recent road trip of private signings.
Try as hard as they might, the USPS did not destroy the items inside the box like they did the outside. Ryan took good care in packaging up everything and they all arrived in great shape. First, Jose Contreras signed a Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Mike Mussina. Then, Ryan got Eric Davis to sign his Sports Illustrated issue from 1987. Also included was Orlando Cepeda signing the issue with himself and all the other St Louis Cardinals. Lastly, Ryan got a baseball signed by Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs. Rizzo is going to be a beast in the coming years. Thanks for taking care of me Ryan! You the MAN!
