Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

My collection is 75% Braves so here's just a few of my favorite pieces:

Mark Kotsay's jersey worn while hitting for the cycle on August 14th, 2008:

Casey Kotchman game used 2008 broken bat. The only reason why this bat is one of my favorites is because of the super slow-motion video match (below):

Martin Prado game "slammed" bat. Prado struck out and slammed this bat down on home plate so hard that it cracked.

Andruw Jones game worn 2005 Home Run Derby batting gloves:

Andruw Jones game worn 2004 TBTC Hat (worn to commerate the 30th anniversary of Hank breaking the homerun record):

John Smoltz strikeout baseball #3006

Here is my only Braves items....Jair Jurrjens game used bat and Jersey from 2008. I actually became friends with JJ when he played for the West Michigan Whitecaps....The low A affiliate for Detroit a few years ago. My buddy and I drove down to Cincinnati for their series against the Braves and he met up with us after the game on Saturday and gave us each bats over the Dugout before Sunday's game....

Hot diggity, another Braves collector! Here's some of my stuff. The seats are probably my favorites. They're original (1966) and were in the house when Henry got 715.

Thanks, Abe! Very top L-R, Rafael Furcal, David Justice '95/'96 and Greg Olson '91. Top shelf L-R, Mark Lemke '91 and Vinny Castilla '02. Below that, Chipper Jones rookie (#16). Solid blue is Rafael Ramirez. Bottom L-R Brian Asselstine and Dale Murphy.

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

Great stuff Jason. I had forgotten that you had a Justice helmet, love that and the Lemke. The Rafael Ramierez brings back great memories of the Braves on TBS in the early 80's.

Is that a Lonnie Smith jersey under the Chipper helmet?

I'm going to try to get time to take a few pictures of my Gant Braves stuff today and put them on here.

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

OK, just took a quick picture of my Ron Gant Braves display in my office: 1991 Home jersey, game used autographed hat, an early L/S bat and a 1991 Rawlings bat, some batting gloves, Phillies locker room plate and an A's game used helmet can all be seen in the picture.

Beautiful Gant jersey. Yep, that's the great Lonnie Smith's 1990 shirt. As special as all the post-1991 teams have been, my favorites will always be those many terrible ones that came before them. Lots of great memories watching Andres Thomas boot routine grounders and starting pitchers leave after 4 innings and manager after manager (Eddie Haas!) get the axe.

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

Jason,
I saw so many of those guys come through Richmond that I feel the same way. I was excited by the Braves when they were winners, but my sentimental feelings are with those bad teams.

If you ever want to part with that Lonnie jersey, let me know. When he was making his comeback in Richmond I was totally in awe of him. He had been on 3 world series teams and then there he was in Richmond, have had a soft spot for him ever since, never owned a Braves jersey of his.

I sure will. The guy I bought it from at one point was selling tons of stuff, his collection probably. According to him he used to throw BP for the team. His name is Jim (don't remember his last name). I know several other people on GUU purchased from him and may remember it. I asked him what he remembered about the jersey. Here's his reply:

I am glad you like the shirt as it comes from a great player. I do remember when I got the shirt as it was at the end of the 90 season after the last road trip. I had thrown extra batting practice that day for Ron Gant and Jeff Treadway and went over to the players locker room to get something to eat and drink. I was kidding Ron about how he could not hit my fork ball. Lonnie was really getting on Ron and then he went over to his locker and took the shirt out and signed it and gave it to me saying I was the one that taught him to hit the fork ball. The Jeff went and got his jersey and bat and gave them to me. It started out joke on Ron with all the different players telling me how I helped them but Ron did not think I helped him. You had to be there as it was pretty funny. Lonnie was really great guy and had a couple of great batting years with the Braves.

When you are around big league ball players a lot, you will find they are really a big bunch of kids playing a game and having fun. Lots of jokes and ragging on each other.
