Bringing this thread back now that I have my all time box score done and marking off the autos of players that I have seen play in person.
Newest acquisition is Kenny's Vargas.

In 3 games all with Minnesota Vargas had 3 ab's and struck out 3 times. Not so impressive 🤣

thanks to @woodman for the trade that brought me this card #273/1271

Another knocked off the list. Jenrry Mejia picked up today. Saw Mejia on one game in 2014. I pitched 1 inning gave up 2 hits and struck out one, facing 5 batters. A not so impressive WHIP of 2. The Mets defeated the Brewers 2 - 0 that afternoon. #274/1271
 
Got two new autos to scratch off the list.

Just received this from @yankees1 last week. Saw Abbott pitch in one game against MN on 8/13/95. His line from that game
7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 2 K. 1.28 ERA, 1.28 WHIP. He got the win over Brad Radke in the game Minnesota retired Kent Hrbek's #14.

Very impressed with Abbott's ability.

7/9/1994 Twins v Indians
Some of the best seats we had up to that point, right by the Cleveland BP and got a nice shot of Martinez warming up
7 IP, 6H, 3R 3ER, 2BB, 7 K'S 3.85 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and got the win.
 
Hey everyone, thought I would go the route of some of our other benchies and collect all of my successes in one thread. And since I am narrowing my autos down to players I've seen in person I will go game by game starting with #1 Aug 3rd 1983 Twins Vs Angels at the Metrodome.
