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!
Not Gore(y)
MacKenzie Gore was a highly rated prospect in baseball who just made his ML Debut for the Padres. What usually happens when a player makes his debut is that people who got autographs of the player looks to sell them for a little more than before they appeared in the MLB. Austin Lloyd (on Facebook Autograph Group) had multiple items he had signed by MacKenzie available. I picked out a nice baseball and Sports Illustrated magazine from 07.17.2017. Today the SI arrived and since they were different sizes, they had to be mailed separately so I expect to receive the baseball tomorrow. Both items look awesome!
Sitting on the (Pad)dack of the Bay
On April 5th, I purchased a signed Chris Paddack ML Debut signed ticket from Gabriel Magana. Two days later Chris was traded to the Twins! The following day I cheered for him during the player introductions when he was announced. Today the ticket arrived! Pretty fun little item for the collection!
