    Sandy Alomar Jr.
    My favorite Catcher of All Time.
    Las Vegas Stars ✨
    I got Alomar Jr.’s autograph when I was 7 years old in 1987 when he played for
    The Las Vegas Stars ✨
    and was on the verge of being called up.
    I only knew who he was because my dads friend told me, then he gave me the foul ball he caught so I could go get Sandy’s autograph with it thankfully because also thankfully Sandy stopped after the game was over and signed some autographs right @ the edge of the dugout.
    Was really cool and a great memory.
    7 years old.
    I didn’t get another foul ball for almost 20years when in 2005 I caught my 1st foul ball @ the same stadium, Cashmen Field during Spring Training when The Cubs & M’s came to Vegas to play and now since then I’ve got about a couple dozen since that day, either foul balls or HR balls.
    I got Henry Blancos walk off HR the very next day too.
    So I got a foul ball Friday Night and the Walk off HR the next day with a Major League hangover. 😄
    I was hurting that day but had bought the tickets months prior.
    Cactus League is the best in AZ.
    That’s how I’ve got most of my balls. Lol
    BIG BALLS.
