Item Received: 1987 Donruss Opening Day Twins Logo, 1987 Twins Team Issue.  Both signed in black Sharpie.

Notes:
Stelly needs no introduction to true Twins fans.  He has worn the uniform longer than anybody else.  Serving as the bullpen coach since 1981, bridging the gap from Met Stadium to Target Field.  He just wrapped up his 30th consecutive season as a Twins coach, the third longest streak in baseball history for consecutive years of coaching service for one team.  I had him sign his 1973 rookie card at the Dome when I was a kid, but it's nice to finally have his autograph in a Twins uniform.
