I am always on the hunt for Jake Peavy GU items. Recently a few items were auctioned off at Historic Auctions. All three of the items (hat, cleats, glove) were authenticated by Lou Lampson as being used by Jake in his 2007 Cy Young season.
I tried to photomatch these beforehand since Lou's name didn't provide a lot of confidence. The glove and cleats were difficult, but the hat (http://www.historicauctions.com/imag...4/DSC_1837.jpg) proved to be interesting. The listing is at http://www.historicauctions.com/sear...ctionid/41265/.
This hat doesn't even match the style of hat used in 2007. In 2007 the Padres hats were dark blue under the bill. I found some pictures from 2006 that seem to match this hat (dirt stains, etc), so I do believe it is authentic. However, it is definitely not from the 2007 season as stated in the listing.
