My pal Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) is really really excited to get back to in person autograph chasing now that things are closer to pre-COVID access. He works hard for me getting highly rated prospects and MLB players on baseballs for me. Today I received the following beautifully signed baseballs that Chris got for me:
Coby Mayo
Colton Cowser
Joan Adon
Daniel Espino
I look forward to many more baseballs that Chris will get me this summer!
Hey Bert!
I have sent a few things to Bert Blyleven over the years since he started accepting mail items for signing along with a fee. You may recall I mentioned a Hall of Fame Induction Weekend press area ticket I acquired a little bit ago and got Pat Gillick on it. I sent it to Bert along with an original 1978 Focus on Sports card and received both signed beautifully today. Bert even included his typical post it note thanking me! Great stuff! Thanks Bert!
Gordo
Wow! This is really cool! Today I received something that took me some time to come up with and I was not disappointed! John Gordon was the Twins Broadcaster for a number of years and I loved listening to him call the games. He was broadcasting when Kirby Puckett hit his Game 6 home run. I have a Call Ball signed by Gordo but I thought it would be really cool to have him write it on a 1991 Game 6 World Series ticket. I finally found one and sent it to him along with a heartfelt note about the moment and a few other things. John did not let me down! He signed his entire call on the ticket and included a real nice note back to me. It is one of my favorite items in my collection and one of my favorite moments in baseball history. Thanks a lot Gordo!
Not Gore(y) Part II
As mentioned yesterday, today I received the MacKenzie Gore baseball. It looks great!
