Re: Shane Victorino game used?

I haven't got a photo handy, but I have a Team U.S.A. cap Shane wore in the CONCEBE Olympic Qualifying tournament played in 2005. I wanted something from the tournament, having gone to some of the games, and bought Victorino's cap before I knew Bill Murphy's jersey and cap were going to be available. What's cool about the SV cap is the Canadian flag "trade" pin he put in it, which I thought was a nice, personal touch.

Re: Shane Victorino game used?

I've got a few Victorino items in my collection. I haven't taken any photos, but here is what I currently have (all are game used and signed):

• Pre-game blue jersey #18 (Phillies)
• St. Patrick's Day green jersey #18 (Phillies)
• St. Patrick's Day green jersey #8 (Phillies)
• Road grey jersey #8 (Phillies)
• Home white pinstripe #18 (Phillies)
• Pre-game hat (Phillies)
• Helmet single ear flap (could be from 2005, as I saw pictures of him wearing a single ear helmet that season. He's since gone to a double ear) (Phillies)
• About seven bats (One Padres, the rest Phillies)
• White pants used in the minor leagues or spring training (Dodgers)
• Grey pants used in the minor leagues or spring training (Dodgers)

Many, many thanks to all who have helped me with my collection!

Kind Regards,

Ron.

I rember seeing you there and I was going to bid on that bat. Reason I rember you in specific because when you got it you posted it and I also won an item in that auction.

It might have been another member not sure was it a max bat? Black barrell and tan handle I think?

Re: Shane Victorino game used?

No that was me and that is the Bat from the Auction.

Re: Shane Victorino game used?

Here is a photo of three bats that Victorino signed for me earlier this year when he was on Oahu. The other bats are stored at a different location.

Also, a correction to my previous post. He refused to sign the Dodgers pants.

Kind Regards,

Did he give a reason?

Re: Shane Victorino game used?

No, he didn't give a reason. Maybe it was because the Dodgers had him twice and let him go?

Re: Shane Victorino game used?

This isn't a GU related post but I wanted to mention that I had a chance to meet Shane Victorino's dad earlier today. I was on my way to the island of Lanai for a short vacation and Shane's dad was on the same flight.

Lanai is one of the least populated islands in the State of Hawaii (total island pop = 3000) and Shane's dad was travelling here as part of his work for the City & County of Maui, Molokai and Lanai (each island is so small in population that the 3 islands form a single county within the State).

His father was a very personable, humble, and down-to-earth man who was obviously a tremendous positive influence on his son. He talked about how Shane had to be patient and pay his dues in the minors for 7 years before things finally fell into place with the Phillies.

Apparently, Shane attended a high school on Maui with a total enrollment of 300 students which didn't field a very competitive HS baseball team. (After all, how good could it be when the total enrollment of 300 students?)

Despite Shane being a MLB prospect in HS, he had to endure playing on a mediocre HS team that lost much more often than it won. As a result, Shane's dad mentioned how his son learned the importance of having to persevere which helped him stay focused during his 7 year stint in the minors. Eventually, Shane's persistence paid off and, combined with his god given talents, helped him earn his current spot as a starting outfielder for the Phillies.
