Today was a great day! \u00a0Cami and I left the house around 8am and headed to Bloomington to meet up with Joel B (brad0112 on SCN) and his son Elliott. \u00a0We then headed to Moundsview Square Mall where Tom Frantzen had Frank Viola, Jeff Reardon and Jack Morris appearing to sign autographs. \u00a0There was heavy demand for Viola so we made sure we got up to get the tickets when they opened. \u00a0We bought the tickets then headed to see Ted S. \u00a0Ted has been pretty gracious with his sked doubles and let me go through all his sked doubles and take what I need. \u00a0Today I traded his AL doubles that I went through and got a TON for the NL doubles. \u00a0I will go through those over the next couple weeks. \u00a0We then headed back and got in line for Viola and Reardon.<\/p>\n
As usual, Frankie V was his happy, talkative self. \u00a0It was really neat to see him. \u00a0He signed a 1987 World Series ticket with “87 WS MVP”, the checklist card from the 1986 7-Eleven Twins team set and two home plates made out the the old Metrodome roof. \u00a0He looked at the checklist card and said “That isn’t even me! \u00a0Well, it has my face but that is my first roommate and best friend today!”. \u00a0I asked him who it was and he had me guess. \u00a0I asked for the first name and he said ‘Jack’. \u00a0I said ‘Jack O’Conner’ and he looked at me with wide eyes and said ‘Yes!’ \u00a0He said That’s Jack’s windup but my [Frank’s] face!” \u00a0He signed it and we moved on to Jeff Reardon. \u00a0Jeff signed a home plate of the Metrodome roof for Cami. \u00a0Joel then took a photo of Jeff and Cami together. \u00a0We are going to get that printed out and send it to Jeff to sign it for Cami.<\/p>\n
After that we left to eat and when we were done we went back to the show for Jack Morris. \u00a0Jack finished our two home plates with “91 W.S. MVP”. \u00a0Both home plates turned out really cool with the two Twins World Series MVPs on them.<\/p>\n
We left and headed to Dick Blick in Roseville and found some really cool frames for the home plates. \u00a0After that we drove to where Joel’s car was parked and dropped him and Elliott off and headed home.<\/p>\n
It was a long day but the four of us had a blast. \u00a0It was cool that Joel and I could do this while our kids got to know each other and hung out. \u00a0We cannot wait for the next autograph show where we can do this again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
