Hi Chris,
Yes, I do have a Dave Stieb signed no-hit ticket stub.
He signed it for me through the mail about 8 years ago, BTW.
I am still on the hunt for a season ticket version of this ticket, but I have yet to find one.

Here is an unusual/interesting coincidence:
Dave Stieb and I were born at the same hospital in Santa Ana, CA in the same year. We were two of the very first children born at this hospital. Go figure!

Just got back from The National in AC and had a great time and spoke with a lot of people.

Here's the baseball that Ron Blomberg autographed for me.

Mr. Blomberg was extremely friendly and we had a nice conversation.

Roger Clemens was the guest coach at this evenings bluefish game... Got to meet him beforehand and get my 1984 pawsox card... roger and my father share the same birthday 8/4 so I asked him to inscribe it... I guess it's going to be my pops belated birthday gift! On another note, roger was friendly, extremely gracious and went out of his way to accommodate fans... All In all a real class act.

Interesting coincidence for sure. Here's my signed ticket, also a ticket master style but a full ticket, I believe.




Here's Dave from last month, in Vancouver with a friend of mine.

Very nice, Chris!
BTW, I recall seeing your ticket on eBay in an auction perhaps 5 years ago.
How long have you owned it?

Yep. EBay and about 5 years is right.

Was Stieb a guest at a card show? I can't recall him doing a show in the United States.

Finished my Core Four baseball this weekend with a trip to the National:

Sweet ball, packs! Congrats on completing it.

Thanks! Unfortunately there is also a Jason Giambi sig on there. I got him, Torre, Jeter, Rivera, and Posada all on the same day at Spring Training in 2002 right after the Yankees signed him. If only I could go back in time.

But on the plus side the $100 I spent on Andy at the National is the only money I've put into the ball.

That's terrific that you were able to get it done for $100 plus your time chasing them down...

The Vancouver Canadians, a Blue Jays short season single A affiliate team had him up as part of their "Superstar Series". They bring a few Jays and Mariners alumni etc up each summer.

Sounds like a nice event.

Great Yankee Ball there. The only thing that irks me a bit is that they came up with the Core Four catchphrase and excluded Bernie! Should make it the fab 5 or something, Bernie was homegrown and the top position player early on in the title run! But that's a great baseball!


I'm pretty thrilled with my latest autograph addition!...

[GrayGhost]

GREAT check
