Graphin’ With Kevin

My son has been going with a couple teammates from his baseball team to a local baseball training place and his primary hitting coach is Michael Kvasnicka.  I enjoy watching Michael and the boys interact and I have certainly seen a great improvement with Caden’s hitting.  I thought it would be cool to get some of Michael’s cards to give the kids to get signed after one of their hitting sessions.  Tonight was the night.  After hitting, Caden and his friend Blake went to Michael’s office and asked if he would sign some cards for him.  I ended up going there a few minutes later and had a short chat about baseball stuff for a little bit.  It was really cool.  Michael signed his Gophers cards but I made a rookie mistake and did not prep the Topps Pro Debut thinking the Steadtler would be fine.  Even that beaded up so he said he would sign them after I prepped them.  While chatting with him, I told him that I had gotten one of the Pro Debut cards signed at Twinsfest a few years ago.  He told me he remembered me.  (I doubted it but still thought it was cool).  While looking for other cards of his I came across Jay and asked if it was his dad or uncle.  It turned out his dad was drafted by the Twins and played in the Twins system just like Michael.  I thought that was really neat.  I will prep the cards and let the kids in Caden’s hitting sessions have them to get signed.  I think that is pretty cool.
