A Team HR Record!

Back on 09.29.2019, the Twins were in Kansas City to face the Royals. The Twins had already broken the all time team home run record that was set by the Yankees the year before but there were four teams who had a shot at setting a new record going into the final series of the season. The Twins ended up coming out on top at the end of the season with a new MLB record 307 home runs (this record was tied by the Braves in 2023). Jason Castro hit HR #307 on 09.29.2019. Josh M (ridiculousxdream on SCN) announced a signing with Castro just about a year ago so I sent in a pair of cards for it. The signing went down but Jason dropped the FedEx package in the USPS system and it never arrived at its destination. After going back and forth with the company Josh was working with, they agreed to have Jason resign the items if they were resent. I took this opportunity to send in my ticket to the 09.29.2019 Twins at Royals ticket and I am glad I did. Jason signed it with his name, “MLB Team HR Record” and “Team HR #307”. It looks magnificent! He also signed my 2019 Topps #406 and my 08.09.2019 Topps Now card #661. These items were worth the wait and I appreciate Josh’s efforts to eventually make the signing happen. And, kudos to the USPS for delivering my package on Columbus Day!
