October pick-ups

[gameused]

Let see your latest pick ups for October:

Just go this game used Manny Ramirez Rawlings-Indians bat in from the 1998 season. Bat shows nice game use with rack marks, pine tar, seam/ball marks and blue ink transfers. Looks like an inside fastball ended the life of the bat as it has a slight handle crack.

The person I obtained the bat from said he was at a Indians vs Angels game in California in the summer of 1998 and Manny fouled a pitch off and cracked the bat, Manny then walked over to the dugout to get a new bat and tossed this one into the stands in which he fought over with another guy and ended up getting, pretty neat story!

The season of 98 turned out to be the most rbi's Manny ever hit to date with 145, Manny also had 45 HR's in 98 and also hit 45 HR's 2005.

Bobby...Nice Bat....

Well I got this on the last day of September at the M's Kids Care Auction. Ichiro donated a pair of rookie year (2001) batting gloves. The Gold M and 51 on the strap I could only find on images from March to May of 2001, the strap changes in 2001 while the M goes silver around 2002.

I was surprised no one else even bid on them, must admit attendance was low with the loss of post season and rain. They go good with his rookie jersey
Cheers,

TY......Thanks!

That's a really sweet pair of Ichiro gloves! I'm a Ichiro fan and want to get a game used Mizuno bat of his someday, I heard Ichiro keeps all his game bats in humidors.

Do you have any Ichiro bats? Would love to see pics of any bats or jerseys of Ichiro.

Best Regards, Bobby

Re: October pick-ups

Ty,

WOW! Impressive collection of Seattle Mariners items, great job!

I remember a years ago Ichiro was selling signed game used items thru Upper Deck and his sports agent. The items were expensive but you know they were authentic!

I have a signed Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez game used bats from their Mariners day in my collection.

Thanks for sharing your website!

Re: October pick-ups



I finally got myself a Sosa bat, have wanted one forever!! Also was able to get a signed one, which is very hard to get him to sign them. It is even MLB authenticated but the hologram is not registered??? This is the 2nd item I have got where MLB databasers have not logged in. Pics are bad, took them at work with my cell phone

Re: October pick-ups

Note the following message on the MLB authentication area...hopefully this will be resolved soon:

"The MLB Authentication Program Database is currently undergoing maintenance. During this period, there may be delays in publishing updates and additions to the hologram archive".

Re: October pick-ups

Sweet Sammy bat worldchamps. Can't be many mlb authenticated one's of his out there. Is that from the Rangers?
TYM are you the keeper for the Mariners HOF, awesome collection you have.

Re: October pick-ups

Just finished putting together a small project involving the 96 -98 Cardinals. While they were a threat in '96, they lost touch with ESPN until MAC arrived mid 1997 and well, you know what happened. Anyway, I used to go to batting practice at Busch with my buddies and Give Ron Gant a hard time about his gigantic pipes, and HOT wife. Had some really nice conversations with Brian Jordan and Ray Lankford too...the Rams would have been envious of the size and shape of those three outfielders - heck, Jordan WAS a football player! Here is my small tribute to Ray Ray, BJ and "Ronald "Gunz" Gant.

Dave

Jeff - thanks for the Gant model.

Re: October pick-ups

Thanks guys, lots of nice pieces, thanks for sharing.

Indyred - The one at Safeco Field? No. I am discussing with them putting some of my pieces in it as they have some room for improvement.

On another note I am getting my Ichiro rookie jersey and batting gloves signed Monday, he is doing a private signing before heading out next week, really excited about that!

Cheers,
Ty

Re: October pick-ups

That time of the year again! The teams that didn't make the playoffs start clearing lockers. Here are my latest additions:

2006-07 Luke Scott Astros Glove (Road Version)

The photo below is the only one I can find of Luke using this color schme. I was told he used it this year as well, but have no proof. HELP!!! I have been told he used an all black, black/red lacing, and this grey/red lacing style on the road.




2006-07 Mark Loretta Red Sox/Astros Glove

Mark started using this glove mid year in Boston last year and tossed it after this past Sunday's game. Here it is now!

Re: October pick-ups

Picked up this Manny from a fellow forum member. Would like some opinions from the resident Manny experts. This is my first Manny bat so any info would be greatly appreciated. It was sold to me as a probable bp bat. Thanks for looking.
