Today’s mail brought the last batch of baseballs that my buddy Paul C got me from the Florida State League and the Florida Instructional League teams. I have mentioned all the baseballs Paul has gotten me over this past summer and with the end of the baseball season, he sent me the last, and largest, batch of baseballs yet:
Jose Berrios
Ty Buttrey
Ryne Stanek
Blake Snell
Nick Ciuffo
Max Kepler
Luke Bard
Jon Denney
Thanks for a great summer of autographs Paul!
What a Pro(far)!
Five days ago I sent a baseball to Eric Nadel and I received it today in a record turnaround. Not only did I get it to and from Texas, it was signed really, really cool. You may remember my call ball of Bryce Harper’s first career walk off home run. On 9/26, Jurickson Profar hit his first career walk off. I thought Profar’s call would be really cool to go with Harper’s so I sent a ball off to the Ranger’s broadcaster. He inscribed it with his call. If that was not cool enough, I asked him about sending another baseball for his call of another memorable baseball event and he said he would sign it for me. You will have to wait to find out that historic call…
Dustin the Wind
At the beginning of summer I sent a ticket from Dustin Ackley’s major league debut game to a friend of mine from the Seattle area. Today I received it back. My buddy Greg N took care of me with getting Ackley to sign the ticket. It looks awesome. Thanks Greg!
2013 NL ROY?
I have wanted a baseball signed by the Marlins’ Jose Fernandez since about the all star break and received one today. The ball I bought was signed at a spring training season ticket holders event and is pristine on a pristine baseball. I bought it from Rob H (amazingmets on neshek.com). I am pretty excited to have this young phenom’s autograph in my collection.
