Today Brian Harper was in town to sign autographs at the HarMar Mall. \u00a0I have been waiting a while to get something signed that I would have been unable to send to someone or a show via the mail so this was my perfect opportunity.<\/p>\n
A number of years ago the Twins held a “Garage Sale” of sorts at the Metrodome. \u00a0It was before the move to Target Field and they basically offered for sale anything extra from the Dome as well as a ton of leftover stadium give away items. \u00a0I went there and picked up a couple really cool things. \u00a0One was a banner than hung on the street poles around the Dome with the 40th Anniversary team logo signed by Kirby Puckett. \u00a0I have since traded that banner but another cool thing I bought was one of those pictures that were printed on plexiglass that hung in the concourse with a light behind it. \u00a0The one I bought featured Brian Harper and Rick Aguilera shaking hands after either Game 1 or Game 2 of the 1991 World Series<\/a>. \u00a0I got Aggie to sign it at one of the Friday Night Alumni Nights the Twins had at the Dome. \u00a0He thought it was pretty neat back then so I was excited to see what Harper thought of it. \u00a0Brian spotted it while signing the person’s items in line in front of me and kept looking at it. \u00a0When it was my turn and put it on the table, he looked and said “That was after Game 6!” and I told him Game 6 was a walkoff and he said “Oh you’re right. \u00a0Aggie got the win in 6. \u00a0It must have been Game 1 or 2. \u00a0All those games were close so he was in ’em all!” \u00a0He signed it with “World Champs ’91′”. \u00a0It turned out AWESOME! \u00a0I am really pleased with it! \u00a0I then handed him my 1991 Sports Illustrated<\/a> and said he must have signed a million of those in his life and he said he has one of those framed in his home.<\/p>\n I then walked over and bought a 2013 Topps Update card set and some singles to finish my set and headed home. \u00a0What a great feeling to have finished something I bought around a decade ago!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today Brian Harper was in town to sign autographs at the HarMar Mall. \u00a0I have been waiting a while to get something signed that I would have been unable to send to someone or a show via the mail so this was my perfect opportunity.
