Today I received a package from Allen S (autographal on SCN) which contained two Sports Illustrated magazines he got signed by Boog Powell for me. They turned out AWESOME and Boog completed both of the magazines with the 10.19.1970 issue being signed already by Lee May, Bernie Carbo, Elrod Hendricks, Tony Perez and Brooks Robinson. The 10.06.1969 SI was already signed by Frank Robinson and is now complete with Mr Powell on it. I am really pleased with how each turned out and the great care Allen put towards my items. Thanks Al!
Double Your Fun
Today I got a Sports Illustrated I bought from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) who lives in the Seattle area. I had just sent him a box of items to get signed from the visiting teams to Seattle and today the SI arrived. It is signed by both Robinson Cano and Felix Hernandez. It is one of the versions from this season’s baseball preview issues. It looks great! Thanks Vinnie!
Kids Day at Target Field!
Today was a Sunday Twins game we had tickets to so that meant Cami was going to the game with me. We got there early so she could get in line for autographs. The players who were signing were Neal Cotts and Tyler Duffey. Cami got signature cards signed by each player. When she got to Tyler, she said “You have an awesome curveball!”. What was cool was Tyler was all business signing everything and rarely looking up. When Cami said that he looked up and smiled to her and thanked her. That was pretty cool. We had a blast at the game and afterwards we stuck around so she could run the bases.
