Today I received a package of a half dozen baseballs that were signed by mostly minor league prospects. Paul C in Florida has been getting me great autographs for a while and this package is no exception! These beautiful baseballs are:
Anderson Espinoza
Rafael Devers
Mikie Mahtook
Brock Holt
Josh Harrison
Eduardo Rodriguez
I cannot wait for the FSL to begin so Paul can get me more prospects! Thanks Paul!
Sir Rodney Part II
Today I received the second package from Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) and he did not disappoint! This package contained the remaining items I had sent in for his private signing with Rod Carew:
3 2015 Gypsy Queen cards (one for me and each of the kids)
2 Hall of Fame Postcards
1967 Topps Rookie card! My last Rod Carew card I needed to complete the run of Carew Topps Twins cards!
Petersen’s ’78 Pro Baseball magazine
Street & Smith’s Official 1978 Baseball Yearbook
04.10.1978 Sports Illustrated
I am pleased with how everything turned out. Thanks Franco! You did a great job!
Sir Rodney Part I
Today I received the first of a pair of packages that Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) sent me that has the items I got signed via his private signing with Rod Carew. Rod is not doing too well these days health-wise and was very limited for signing at Twinsfest this past January so when I heard Franco was having a signing with him, I sent all the magazines and items I had for him to get signed.
This box contained:
1970 Famous Slugger Yearbook
07.01.1974 Sports Illustrated
Sports All Stars 1976 Baseball
Oct 1977 Sport
Spring 1978 Baseball Quarterly
Summer 1978 Sports Hall of Fame Baseball
Aug 1979 Sport
These all turned out awesome. One of my favorite magazines is the Basbeall Quarterly. I remember my mom buying this magazine for me when I was eight years old and I read it so many times I wore it out. Somewhere along the lines it got tossed. I found a mint one on eBay for this signing.
I am very pleased with how everything turned out. I cannot wait to get my other package within the next couple days.
Thanks Franco!
Damn Yankees
For the past couple years, Joshua S (jslaw on SCN) has attended the Yankees Spring Luncheon autograph event that the team holds to raise money for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Tampa. This year was no exception. This year Joshua was able to get me the following items:

Alex Rodriguez 3000th Hit ticket with “3,000 Hits”
Mark Teixeira Cycle ticket with “Cycle”
Dellin Betances ML Debut ticket

As always, Joshua did a fantastic job with my items. I am really excited about the 3000th hit ticket A Rod signed! Thanks always Joshua!
