Game-used souvenir

More than a month ago, when the Clearwater Threshers were hosting the Jupiter Hammerheads, our game tickets put us in the first row behind the home team's dugout -- a good spot for getting a game-used ball.

As a result of our prime perch, Clearwater infielder Korby Mintken tossed Colin a ball as he made his way back to the Threshers' dugout.

Colin caught up with Mintken a few weeks later, when the Threshers made the short ride from Clearwater to Dunedin to play the Blue Jays. As you can see, Mintken willingly signed it, making it Colin's first single-signed Florida State League game-used ball of the summer.
