More so than usual!  During Spring Training, Legends Memorabilia had a signing, like they do every year, with Mike Trout.  I had two of my 2014 All Star Game ticket strips signed by the Futures Game MVP (Joey Gallo) and the Home Run Derby winner (Yoenis Cespedes) and just needed the All Star Game MVP, Mike Trout to complete it.  I mailed one in due to the expensive fee for the autograph and it arrived signed by Trout today.  It is something that has a ton of memories in it as well as ink on each ticket.  Hopefully next spring I will be able to send in the other strip and complete that one too!<br>The other item I received today was my second to last 1986 Expos Provigo card&#8230; this time signed by Jeff Reardon.  I wonder if he thought it was odd a MN address was sending him an Expos card instead of a Twins card.  It looks awesome signed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is one of those days that I am really excited with the mail. More so than usual!
