If you have read any of these posts on this lame blog, you will have noticed I have a number of friends who share the same passion as autograph collecting as I do and they are scattered around the country. \u00a0Having so many contacts like this allows me to really add to my collection spring spring training. \u00a0I have a few guys who live in Florida or Arizona and others who travel there for a week or two or even longer pursuing autographs for themselves as well as myself. \u00a0Today I received a really nice pile of packages with items signed during spring training. \u00a0They are all really nice additions to the collection!<\/p>\n
Paul C lives in the Fort Myers, Florida area and works the teams there as well as the rookie leagues. \u00a0Today I received the following baseballs:
\nJake Odorizzi
\nHak-Ju Lee
\nJackie Bradley Jr
\nMike Napoli<\/p>\n
Matt W (invctrl on SCN) worked the Nationals and Astros spring training sites and hooked me up with the following:
\nDenard Span 2012 Topps Heritage Update
\nJose Altuve ML Debut ticket
\nLucas Harrell ML Debut ticket with ML Debut
\nStephen Strasburg Sports Illustrated magazine<\/p>\n
Last but not least, I got the remaining items from Arizona from Kent B (doggle3 on SCN). \u00a0Kent and Noah worked the Arizona spring training sites just about all spring long. \u00a0They did a great job getting me a bunch of autographs at really reasonable prices. \u00a0Kent works the Kansas City Royals as well as their opponents for me during the regular season and does a great job. \u00a0From these guys I received the following:
\nTommy Hanson 1st Win ticket
\nDerek Norris ML Debut ticket
\nTodd Frazier\u00a0ML Debut ticket
\nWade Miley\u00a0ML Debut ticket
\nMark Trumbo\u00a0ML Debut ticket
\nPaul Goldschmidt\u00a0ML Debut ticket
\nGordon Beckham\u00a0ML Debut ticket
\nNice Punto @ 2 baseball cards
\nChad Billingsly OMLB
\nWade Miley OMLB
\nPaul Goldschmidt OMLB
\nJorge Soler OMLB
\nKyle Seager OMLB
\nJosh Tomlin OMLB
\nRyan Madson Sports Illustrated
\nMatt Williams, Eddie Rodriguez and Rod Barajas on the Diamondbacks Sports Illustrated
\nand the best Joey Votto Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n
I am really fortunate to know these guys and I thank them a ton for their efforts and great work.<\/p>\n
I also received a package I sent to Wade Boggs. \u00a0I had a Sports Illustrated magazine that commemorates Fenway Park and had him sign that and a Hall of Fame postcard for a donation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
