First Autographs of 2016

I got my first autographs of the new year today, thanks to the Minnesota Twins hosting their fantasy camp in Fort Myers, Florida.

My brother and I, along with his 4-year-old son drove 2 hours to hopefully meet some former Twins players. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain when we got there and discovered that the day's activities had been postponed. Luckily, I knew the hotel the campers and staff were staying at, so we went there hoping to meet them.
The rain had cleared up around noon and that's about the time that players were arriving at the hotel.
I ended up getting 9 autographs, including Hall of Famer, Bert Blyleven.
Everyone was super nice and happy to sign for us.

I'm very happy with how my collection has started in 2016. Looking forward to seeing who else I will be getting this year.

    1. Thanks! I didn't ask for the personalization, but even with the smaller real estate on the card, it came out really nice.
      I did ask Kent Hrbek to personalize, but that was because he signed an 8x10.
