When I was 5 my mom took me to see this up and coming guy named Kirby. We waited in line a couple hours and right when we got close I asked my mom if we could go. I got a ball signed by Kirby and a photo. Too this day that is one of my earliest memories as a kid. I also liked the opportunity to meet with Michael Cuddyer as he was brought in by Tommy Bahama for a special edition Twins shirt they did in 2011. I was able to have a nice conversation with him and get a photo taken. One of the nicest guys!! Always talked about the way he looked to Harmon Killebrew and spending time with fans and ensuring they had a nice autograph. Of the many signatures I have over the year's, my favorite ball is the Cuddyer...it is one of a few that I didn't need to put a label on the case to identify. I'm a huge baseball fan who loves collecting game used items (caps, bats, bases, baseballs, batting gloves, etc.). However, one piece I would love to have is Gene Larkins 10th inning single from Game 7. I said to my dad as the celebration was going on, isn't anybody going to go out and get that ball? That ball sure would be some conversation piece. I'm not sure if they ever went out to get it or who has it, but that would be some piece.
