Not this time

Last season, during our 2009 Summer of Baseball, we set a goal of getting team-signed balls from all 12 Florida State League teams. Well, we fell one team short, missing out on the Palm Beach Cardinals, the Advanced-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.

With that in mind, we made sure we wouldn't repeat the omission, catching the Cardinals at Bright House Field in Clearwater. Not only did Colin score his third team ball of the season, but he witnessed first first-ever grand slam, hit by Xavier Scruggs, shown above signing a team ball for Colin, amid an 11-run inning during Palm Beach's 13-0 trouncing of the Threshers.

Devin Goodwin, Ramon Delgado, Kevin Thomas, Jarred Bogany and Oliver Marmol;
