Glenn Anderson Hockey Hall of Fame

I received my Glenn Anderson Toronto Maple Leafs signed jersey today. It was signed in December at Frozen Pond in Toronto, Ont. It was a send in, where I pay $35 plus shipping and they will get it signed for me. This is my 5th Anderson jersey (see pics) I got him last year at Eddie Shack's charity event in Saskatoon. He signed an Oiler practice jersey, a Toronto Maple Leafs white jersey and a Team Canada jersey. There were 5x7's for sale too so I picked up a Leaf and a Ranger signed card. I then got Anderson at an oldtimer game in S'toon in March. I paid $100 to get an oldtimer jersey signed by about 11 guys. When the guys came out, I got him to sign a Oiler third jersey #9.

Paul Coffey TTM SUCCESS

I sent Paul Coffey an Oiler 8x10 and a #7 White to get signed about 2 months ago. He owns and operates a couple of car dealerships in Ont. I missed getting him at the Juno Cup in Prince Albert a couple years ago so this is cool. The man skates like a stallion, smooth and powerful. It looks like he was born on skates. And he did not sign the #7, knew he wouldn't but thought what the hay.

Iginla and Kiprusoff

Thanks to another hockey blog, I saw that Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff had sent the fellow signed stuff. He mentioned that the stuff he sent, cards were not signed but sent back, but long 5x9 player cards were signed and sent. So I go the idea to do the same, Calgary being 4 hours from here, thought shouldn't take too long. So I printed out 5x7 of each player from the net, sent them with a letter and about 2 months later I received them back, same as the other fellow, signed 5x 9 (guessing on the size, weird size anyway) But I guess they are nice enough to send your stuff back. I sent it to the Calgary Flames organization in Calgary Alberta, Canada.

Lanny McDonald 8x10 Go Flames GO!!!!

I received my signed Lanny 8x10 today. People, this is a great
program, the NHL Alumni sends these photos to the players, you pay the
shipping and get the photo signed. This took a whopping 2 1/2 weeks
to return. Photo in my sports photos....66 Goals one season, lost
scoring race to some guy named Gretzky....
* Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy - 1983
* King Clancy Memorial Trophy - 1988
* His number 9 is retired by the Calgary Flames.

Tristar Hidden Treasures Baseball Amos Otis

I really thought this one would be a no namer cause I have pulled some
really cool ones before, McLain, Winfield and Musial. So I opened my
Tristar package series 3 and pulled a Amos Otis, KC Royal, 5x All
Star, 3X Gold Glove, a bunch of top 10 stats including, batting
average and AS voting. 1971 League Lead-Steals and 2x LL Doubles. Not
too too bad....More Tristar to come. Photo in my Sports stuff, signed
with inscr 5x AS. Hey better than Winfield and Musial! Here's a review of Otis from www.baseballlibrary.com
Originally signed by the Red Sox, Otis was drafted by the Mets and went to the Royals with pitcher Bob Johnson in a lopsided December 1969 trade for third baseman Joe Foy. Foy was gone from the majors within 2 years, while Otis starred in centerfield with Kansas City for 14. During his tenure, one of the most popular chants in Royals Stadium was "A-O, A-O." The dapper Otis was criticized at times for a casual demeanor, lack of aggressiveness, and one-handed catches, but he won three Gold Gloves and three times was named Royals Player of the Year. He tied for the American League lead in doubles his first full year, 1970, and led in 1976. In 1971, the speedster stole five bases in a September 7 game and captured the league stolen-base title (52). In 1975 he tied an AL record by stealing seven bases in two consecutive games, April 30 and May 1. He batted .300 twice and hit for power, with a career-high 26 HR in 1973. He starred on four Kansas City division champions. When the Royals won their one AL title, he led all players in the 1980 World Series with 11 hits. He left the Royals in 1983 as their all-time leader in several offensive categories, including runs, hits, and RBI. (FJO)
