I am setting Perk aside for a few months, to pursue my EEE collection of the Gophers that made it into the set. I dug them out of the box I am keeping them in, and turned them over to read each one. I found something on the Knudson card...

I was at this game, and even had a small chat with Kyle. As soon as I turned around to leave, I thought I had just met the nicest man in baseball. It was kinda cool to see this on the back of a card.

Here was the ball he signed for me (it has Kvas, Coach Anderson, Pettersen, and Gominsky on it. Would love to add Rosin and Maytas).

and here is a blurry pic of the "stub" from that game.

It was his last game at the Dome. It was a great experience. I even had a chat with the guy that walked away with the home run ball that he hit that day. I have a pocket schedule, and a program with him on it.

Too bad he wasn't born in MN, because I would dump Perk in a heartbeat to collect this guy... thankfully he was drafted by the Twins, so I can collect future releases of him

excellente!

enjoy it

Yeah I will! I believe there is only one other card out there with a game on it that I went too, and it's in UD Documentary ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

I haven't locked a base down yet, I would love to send him a TTM. I just nailed a status auto last night.

Since I now mainly collect autos/gu, this is one of the things I miss the most about cards. I wish we'd get more card backs like that instead of the same stupid "Congratulations, you just received a card worth less than the value of the pack unopened" message.

Yeah. It literally made me do a double take. I remember that game so well. He made it to second I think on an error. I couldn't believe it...

I used to wonder why people cared about college sports. After going to a couple UCLA games last year, I realized that these guys are not only really good but pretty much every single player genuinely appreciate your support as a fan and are more than happy to chat after their games. Now I love the elites and have gone back to collect UCLA guys from previous years.
