I read where Kent Hrbek and Jack Morris were going to make appearances at the Mall of America on behalf of the MN State Lottery today. So, Cami and I got up and ran some errands and headed to the Mall. We got there and waited in the Rotunda area while there were a lot of lottery games being played. Cami wanted to go on a ride so we did that. Once we were done with that, we headed back to the Rotunda. We waited a little more and when Kent was done doing his thing, he sat at a table and we lined up for autographs. I was finally able to get a 1991 Studio card signed for Nick. I had a couple team leader cards that were already signed by Bobby Castillo and the other by Ken Schrom. When Kent signed them, he said “You already got my buddy Schromy on it! I have not signed too many of those already signed by Ken. That is a nice card!” I was really excited about that. I told him I was trying to get all the cards signed by the players from the years I watched them. He said there are a lot of things going on at the Dome this summer and there should be a lot of opportunities.
After we were done with Kent, we had over an hour before Jack was there so Cami wanted some Dippin’ Dots and to go on another ride. So we went on the Balloon Ride this time. Even I got in the act on that one. It was about my speed too!
We then went back to the Rotunda to see if I could get my Sports Illustrated magazine signed. He ended up signing for about four people and had security take him away. I missed out on him but I got Kent and he was the main one I wanted today.
Cami fell asleep on the way home. I guess she had a big day too!
