“Touch ’em all, Joe”

Blue Jays announcer Tom Cheek cried those words at the end of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series when Joe Carter hit a Series walk off home run. Today I received my small piece of that moment when Joe Carter returned my ticket stub from that game signed beautifully. A while ago I came across a guy selling his 1992 & 1993 post season tickets on Facebook. He was a really nice guy who ended up calling me via the Facebook app and we talked about it for an hour. He was real happy his tickets were going to a collector who would appreciate them. I was really nervous about sending this ticket in the mail as it was the best and most valuable in the lot I bought. I had included a donation eight times what his typical requested amount was hoping for an inscription and to at least get it back. While I did not get the inscription I wanted I did get it back and get it back signed and that was worth it to me!
