I was reading the signingshotline.com listings and saw Kent Hrbek was signing at a grand opening for Fleet Farm in Blaine, MN so I decided to head up there. I just decided to work on the Twins Topps team sets from 1980 to 1986 and he is in there a bunch of times as well as team leaders so I had 8 cards plus a couple for a couple friends plus a ball for another friend. I thought if I could get through the line 4 or 5 times, I would get them all.<\/p>\n
I drove the 50 minutes to get there and to my surprise, nobody was in line. This was about 20 minutes after it started so I thought maybe it was poorly advertised. I saw a note where it is limited to two autographs per person. I was bummed. I was alone and thought I would only get two. Well, I walked up with a notepad sheet with four cards on it. He looked at them and said I will sign these four for you. He did and I left. I drove the
50 minutes home wondering what if I had someone with me, etc.<\/p>\n
So, almost two hours for four autographs. I did need them for my sets but I really had hoped to help the others too. Maybe at Twinsfest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
