I now have signed baseball cards from 545 current or former
Minnesota Twins. Since my last update I have pickup amongst others Dave
Stevens, Joe McCabe, Mo Sanford, Gary Dotter, George Tsamis, Larry Wolfe (over
3 years to get back to me), Bill Bethea, Aaron Thompson, Luis Perdomo, Kevin
Maas, Shane Robinson, Mark Wiley, and Shairon Martis through the mail (TTM).
I also bought a few of the tough non-signers like Dennys
Reyes, Kevin Mulvey, and Pat Mears from Dave at the Twin Cities Sports
Collectables Show in Bloomington .
You can check out their show schedule tcscc.org
I have also been reminded why I get signed cards from Twins
minor leaguers as well. Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano, Alex Meyer,
and Tyler Duffey have been promoted to the Twins this season. Sano and Rosario
are still with the Twins and Buxton should be back soon too. All three look to
have star level talent.
My in-person successes were Torii Hunter who appeared at
T-Mobile store in downtown Minneapolis , and
Eddie Rosario who appeared at a Cub Foods in Crystal . There were good crowds at both
events - a sign that the Twins winning record earlier this year had attracted
fans’ attention.
Hopefully my successes will continue this year as I move
towards my goal of getting a signed baseball card from every living current and
former Minnesota Twin.
