Today’s mail brought a pair of packages with really neat items for the collection. The first package I opened was a Sports Illustrated from 05.01.1995 and the other was a Sports Illustrated for Kids from August, 1995 both signed beautifully by Cal Ripken Jr. Both have Ironclad and MLB authentication. I acquired them from my buddy Joel B (brad0112 on SCN and formerly of the Twin Cities here). Joel is selling a number of items in his collection so he can buy a cool Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb or someone of that stature’s autograph. I am sure you will see Joel’s name popping up here again soon!
The other package had a Wayne Garrett Story Ball about Roberto Clemente’s 3000th hit game. Mr Garrett mentioned what Roberto meant to the team and baseball and how he played third base in the game Roberto got the hit. Pretty cool baseball and recollection!
