Today I received a really neat ball from former Twins broadcaster John Gordon. He wrote his call of Paul Molitor’s 3,000th hit when he became the first player to get a triple for his milestone hit. He also included a cool note that said he was giving my donation to the local food bank. Pretty cool all the way around. Thanks Gordo!
Whose Got Balls?
I do! Today I received my package of signed baseballs that Christian B (hheroes10 on SCN) got for me during his Arizona Fall League trip. They look awesome! Christian has come up big for me for AZ spring training and AZ Fall league for a number of years. This package contained:
Adam Brett Walker II
Jake Reed
JP Crawford
Alex Reyes
Brett Phillips
Daniel Robertson
You might not too many of these guys but you will know them in a few years. A couple of them are Twins prospects too.
Thanks again Christian!
Oh Balls
Today I received my final package from Paul C in Florida until February. It was three prospects from players who finished up their season playing in the FL instruction league.
The three baseballs are:
Austin Meadows w/”Go Pirates”
Anderson Espinoza
Harold Ramirez
As always, Paul did a great job.
Another package I received was a 1979 Topps Twins Prospects card signed by Kevin Stanfield. Kevin’s autograph finished off the card as it was already signed by Sam Perlozzo and Rick Sofield. This is my second card signed by all three. Kevin signed the card via a private signing by Curtis C (curtisc on SCN) and was signed real nice.
That’s The Ticket!
Today I received a package with the final items Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) got signed for me from the teams visiting the Mariners. This package had three autographs in it:
Lance McCullers baseball
Mark Trumbo ML debut ticket
Pat Venditte ticket with “MLB Debut”
As always, Vinnie does a great job and I cannot wait until next season to see what he can get signed for me!
