TwinsFest - Corey Koskie

Corey Koskie was at TwinsFest this year. I had gotten some cards signed by him through the mail a few years ago when he was playing for the Twins, but not on his 2003 Topps Heritage. It was nice to get the chance to get a couple autographs from him, although he seemed uninterested in being there.

I read an article today that said that Koskie is working out at the Minor League complex in Ft. Meyers and hopes to catch on with a team this year. He's been out since July of 2006 after suffering a concussion.


In addition to getting the 2003 Topps Heritage signed, he also signed a bobblehead for me. I went through his line twice, which also included Philip Humber. Jim "Mudcat" Grant was also supposed to be at that station, but I guess he didn't show up that day.

Still Waiting

I was out of town for a few days, and was anxious to see what might be waiting for me in the mailbox when I got home.  I was really hoping to see the 1965 Topps signed by Whitey Ford that I re-sent when he signed the penny sleeve originally.  But, all I found was some cards I had bought on eBay.  I bought several more 2008 Goudeys of retired players including Al Kaline and Paul Molitor, as well as a 2003 Topps Heritage of Corey Koskie who will be at TwinsFest next month.  I got Corey Koskie through the mail when he played for the Twins back in 2003, but not on the Heritage set that I'm working on.

Other than that, I got about 25 cards form the early '60s that I'll write letters for later this week and send out.
