Thome is having an awesome year. Turned out as a brilliant signing. Back in Blackburn looked great again. Guy has just been money late in the season. The wake up call to Rochester has done wonders. Hope Slow Dog pitctches well today. Gotta take this Cleveland series heading into Chicago.

I was against Thome comming because I thought it would be an end to Kubie-Doobie-Doo, but since they found a spot on the roster for both, I became a Thome fan. I missed him at TwinsFest... I hope he decides to pull another year out for the Twinks and get his #600th. I hope to be there for that. I am REALLY gonna watch his Home Run count closely.

Anyone that might be going to the game on Friday 9/17 vs. A's, can wave to me on the field during the pre-game ceremony the Twins are giving to my 13 yr. old Babe Ruth team that took 3rd at the Babe Ruth World Series this year.

Whole team down on the field pre-game, everyone gets announced...should be an awesome expericance!

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Awesome, Dan! take some pics, will ya? (or have somebody do it.) Would be cool to see Target Field from that perspective.

Nice pick ups Tg. Is Morales orange or gold? Silk ginters are always tough to find and I think T206 short print stuff will be tough to find down the road. Doesn't seem like a lot of people will be breaking it. I like the stuff. Jose auto is touch like Liarano graph.

The Morales is Orange. My scanner sucks.. I was upset when I lost out on the 01/10 Ginter Silk but then this one popped up a couple days later so I ended up getting it cheaper as well. I just started a couple months ago really trying to get a player collection going and decided on Span. I've realized how hard some of the older stuff is going to be to find so I figured I would try and get all of the parallels of the stuff coming out now asap.

I just found it today via the Justin Morneau website. I'm on the mailing list for Morneau, and I was looking at the shop there, and found the link to the Span site.

Big series starts tonight! I think the Twins will take 2 of 3. Coming in with a six game lead sure helps take the pressure off.

Haven't posted any pics for awhile, so I'll wrap up with some multiple signature items.

1991 Homer Hanky--missing about 5-6 autos; Mack, Erickson, Davis are a couple biggies. We'll see if the Twins do something for the 20th Anniversary next year.

1993 Twinsfest program. Check out the signature schedule and costs.

One of my favorites. Missing a couple autos (Mike Lincoln) and have a few extra on the top right. If only it had Ortiz in the picture, then it would really be cool. L to R: Chad Allen, Torii Hunter, Mike Lincoln, Doug Mientkiewicz, Christian Guzman, Corey Koskie, AJ Pierzynski, Benj Sampson, Joe Mays, and one other guy I can't remember or read his name (but I need his sig!) Extra ones are Brian Buchanan, Mike Redmon, Jack Cressend, and "Someone" Welker.

Finally pics of one of my favorite items in the PC; a 2002 signed bat. I bought it with about 15 or so sigs on it, and filled out the rest via Twinsfest. It has both Matt Lawton who was traded in 2002, and Rick Reed who joined during the season.
