#SHOWOFFSUNDAY -- 5/25/14

I missed last Sunday's so here's my collection updates as of the last couple of weeks.

Part of the fan interaction/season ticket holder appreciation at Banner Island Ballpark, a season ticket holder from the crowd is chosen to be the "Season Ticket Holder of the Day" and presented with an autographed ball. My wife and I were chosen and we were given a Manny Correa signed ball.

Got this one in a twitter contest with @SportSpeakLA . Zack Lee auto ball. Kinda weird since it's on a used Little League ball. Oh well, an auto is an auto.

Ron Shelton, director of movies like 'Bull Durham', 'Cobb', 'White Men Can't Jump' and 'Tin Cup'. Got this one signed on a game-used California League ball since, Mr. Shelton played on the 1969 Stockton Ports Championship Team.

Tom Browning, former Cincinnati Reds pitcher and current pitching coach for the Bakersfield Blaze. Mr. Browning threw a perfect game on Sept. 9, 1988, incidentally, against my Dodgers but also, oddly enough, the year the Boys in Blue won their last World Series Championship.

Current Bakersfield Blaze infielder, David Vidal. 2011 MiLB All-Star.

Current Bakersfield Blaze infielder, Seth Mejias-Brean. 2013 Chief Bender Award Winner.

Current Bakersfield Blaze outfielder, Kyle Waldrop.

Current Bakersfield Blaze outfielder, Jesse Winker. 2013 MiLB Hitter of the Year. 1st Round Pick for the Cincinnati Reds.

Current Stockton Ports infielder, Daniel Robertson. 2013 First Round Pick and No. 7 Prospectfor the Oakland Athletics.
