Today I received two Metrodome seatbacks from a Bert Blyleven signing.
I bought one seatback specifically with his jersey number, 28, and will leave it with just his signature on it.
I also sent the seatback that belongs to my 4-seat row. While three of the chairs have the number of a former Twins Hall of Famer and are signed only by that player, the #5 seat didn't happen to match another Hall of Famer, so I decided to use it to gather the signatures of other Twins Hall of Famers. So far, this seat has Jim Kaat, Jack Morris and now Bert Blyleven on it.
I'd like to add Rod Carew at some point to the #5 seat. I don't have very specific criteria for who would sign the seats, other than Twins players in the Hall of Fame. Molitor is wearing a Brewer's cap on his Hall of Fame plaque, and Morris wears a Tiger's cap. The others wear a Twins cap. I suppose I could add Jim Thome if I wanted, or David Ortiz. Even Steve Carlton, even though he was only on the team a year and a half or so. I think I'll focus on getting Carew, and probably leave it at that.
