Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Josh Beckett. I had sent them to Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) for his private signing with Josh. They turned out great and Franco did a great job (as always)!
While on our family vacation, we went to an Oakland A’s home game and Cami had the time of her life at the game.
Before the game she got the following players on signature cards:
Bruce Maxwell
Ross Detwiler
Ron Washington
During the game she had the aisle seat and after each top of the inning finished, she ran down a couple rows above the dugout with her glove to try to get a ball. After the top of the 3rd inning finished, Max Muncy tossed the final out ball to her! She was PUMPED!
If that was not enough, she ended up getting on the big screen waving her hand later in the game!
She will not soon forget going to the A’s game!
Today we went on a tour of Alcatraz while on our trip to San Francisco. We were all pretty excited about it but it turned out to be even neater than we thought.
After the tour, Bill Baker, a former inmate at Alcatraz, was signing his book. Of course Cami could not pass up getting him to sign her National Parks passport as well as a book we bought. Mr Baker was inmate number 1259 at Alcatraz and was incarcerated from 1961-1963 there. We chatted with him for a couple minutes after he signed her book.
A few years ago I made a trade with fellow Sports Illustrated collector Tim McMahon and we were both happy. He contacted me again recently and asked if I wanted to do another trade so we worked one out. Today I received the following Sports Illustrated magazines:
04.10.1961 Jackie Brandt
02.12.1973 Bill Melton
10.19.1987 Greg Gagne
06.06.1988 Larry Bowa
and the following Sports Illustrated for Kids:
04.1992 Sandy Alomar Jr
I look forward to another trade with Tim down the road!
