About a month ago, I received a Steve Blass Story Ball on Roberto Clemente’s 3000th hit but he forgot to sign it. I mailed it back with a nice thank you note and another donation and received it back signed today. It is a cool baseball about a memorable moment of one of baseball’s greats!
King Felix
A while ago a friend of mine sent me a bunch of his Mariners tickets from over the years. One of them in the group was a Felix Hernandez first career win ticket. Dan Heyer (Desert Autographs) had a signing with Felix and I sent in the ticket. Felix provided a real large signature on the ticket along with “1st MLB Win”. It looks awesome!
Go West Young Man
Like him or hate him, Joe West will be a Hall of Famer some day. What he did for baseball is legendary. Todd S (toddschafer on SCN) and his company Under The Radar Sports Promotions had a signing with West and today I received the items I sent in for it. I received a pair of baseballs, one with just Joe’s name on it and the other with his name and “5460 MLB Games Umpired”, and a ticket from August 15th, 2018. The ticket is from the game when Joe umpired his 5,164th MLB game when he passed the previous second place all time leader for games umpired (Bruce Froemming). This game was at Target Field. I had asked for an inscription on it but it was missed. I will resend it back to have Joe add the inscription.
A Giusti Of Wind
Today’s mail brought me a baseball signed by Dave Giusti. Dave witnessed Roberto Clemente’s 3000th hit and I asked him to write about it on the ball. Dave only signed his name but his wife included a note that said he has a hard time signing things as he had a number of hand injuries over the years while playing sports. I am grateful he signed and returned my baseball.
