As some of you already knew, today is my birthday. I got up at 6 o'clock this morning, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, and opened my birthday presents. I got baseball-related items, which I love and can never have enough of :) I took a picture to show you all what I've received so far (I have more presents coming to me tonight when I go to dinner with my friends)...so without further adieu...

Rockkstarr's Birthday Presents

In the picture: Ian Kennedy #31 player t-shirt, Miniature Ian Kennedy Oyo toy (which is a unique souvenir in itself...it can be used with a LEGO baseball set or any other Oyo baseball collectibles...these can be found on mlb.com's team shop site), Grand Junction Rockies fitted hat, white and purple Grand Junction Rockies t-shirts (they are the new Pioneer League team for the Colorado Rockies), framed picture of Aaron Hill & I at Spring Training 2012, signed by Aaron...my friend surprised me and got the pix printed, signed, and framed), Rockies 2008 recap magazine from the 2007 season/playoffs, framed picture of me in the dugout from the 2012 DBacks Fan Fest...other present from friend, batting practice baseball my friend had signed special for me from Ryan Roberts (he even wrote Happy Birthday April on it and signed his name on the sweet spot!), and my bat I received from Geoff Blum for my birthday (I have to take it and have him sign it).
