Today Cami and I headed to Byerly’s in Edina for an appearance by Alexi Casilla. Cami brought her ball along and I brought a 2010 Topps card. We were suprised at how long the line was but it moved pretty good. When we were waiting in line, a couple people behind us was Ben W. Ben and I have traded quite a few times via Pat Neshek’s website. It was nice to see him. He is really a nice guy and a great collector. When we got to Alexi, we asked if he would write “To Cami” on it and even provided a sheet of paper so he would know how to spell it. His assistant said name only today and Alexi apologized and signed her ball. He signed my card and we went back to get some of the Joe Mauer malts to bring home. While walking back there I heard a mom tell her son that there was a Twins player signing autographs. I had brought an extra card along so I gave it to her to have Alexi sign it for her son. She thanked me, we checked out with our malt cups and Cami wanted a Caribou Carmel Iced Mocha so dad bought one for her and we headed home.
