Any Delmon Young out there?

[dietdew]

Hi, I'm a new member who collects Delmon Young. I'd love to see what other Delmon items are floating around here. Here is some of what is in my collection:

Wecome to the forum. Very nice Young collection!! I'm sure w/ Delmon being in Detroit you can add to that w/ the authentics department the Tigers have. I believe my only Delmon item is a home run ball that he hit in the ALCS last season.

I really love seeing player collections particularly in baseball since that's my collecting focal, and only point. I don't know how long you have been collecting Delmon's gear, but by the looks of it you really are off to a nice start.

I'm sure you've already seen this but there is a Young ALCS jersey up for auction right now.

I collected DY items from his Rays and Twins days while he was here with the Twins. Here is a pic of a few of the items I picked up.

Is that the white Saturday jersey the twins wore in the last year in the Dome? I remember going to a game and seeing those uniforms and wondering why the Twins had not applied the front numbers to Delmon's.

My brother and I started our collection when Delmon came over from the Rays though he had been a fan for years before. We have found the Tigers auctions to be much easier to keep track of than calling all the pro shops like we had to do with the Twins. We are kind of torn between bidding on the ALCS jersey and the opening day one coming up.

[dietdew]

After a day like today (2 run HR, circus act miss in left), I can see why there is so much love/hate for Delmon out there.

I got this in the mail from the Twins Pro Shop today. I was told it was from last year, but it's the 2010 banner.

Sold this last year. Shaving cream pie to the head.

Check the Collector to Collector section. Someone is selling a nice Delmon bat for a very reasonable price.

Delmon Young X-Bat "Cool Larry" model...

[dietdew]

That's a nice bat; I've seen a couple of those for sale before. I'm not much of a bat guy myself. I have the one Delmon and a Benny Agbayani that collects dust in the closet.

[dietdew]

Not a game item of any sort, but I did add this recently to my collection:

I believe it is the first officially released Tigers figurine of Delmon though I did repurpose a Twins bobblehead last fall.

I have my May budget pretty much blown on a couple of items I hope to be posting here and in the Tigers thread soon, but if anyone is looking to dump the arch-villain Delmon for pennies on the dollar I guess I'd have to take a look. In all seriousness, I would like to see more of what is out there in collections. I'd really love to see his pre-Twins stuff if anyone has that stashed away.

I've got a Dmitri Young bat he was using during his stint in the Arizona Fall League a few years back.

Just completed the deal on these:
This was at the top of my Tigers want list

Rochester Redwings jersey number 4. I still need to track down the July 4th jersey. Anybody know its whereabouts? Hard to believe that Delmon would have 5 different jerseys in a 7 day rehab stint.

I also picked up nameplate number 2 for the 2012 season.

I'm not looking to buy anything right now, but I'd love to see pictures of the following Delmons if anyone has them:

-Twins green St. Patrick's Day jersey
-Rochester Redwings July 4th flag jersey
-any Rays or pre-Twins minor league jerseys
-Twins St. Paul Gophers throwbacks

or any other oddballs out there

I was told that the players got to keep their St. Paul Gophers jerseys from the game in Cleveland, so pictures of that could be hard to come by.

There's also this: http://auction.mlb.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=188735961&prmenbr=33072944&aunbr=189082671.

[dietdew]

Not looking to buy anything; I'll wait until next year when everyone hates him again, but I thought I'd bump this in light of Mr. Young's accomplishments this year (or past week). I'd love to see what you guys have in collections out there. I'm pretty jacked up about the Series as I have been watching Tigers games all year on MLB.tv. I have never followed a team all season and then seen them make the Series as I was a little nipper when the Twins played in their two title runs, and Gardy is well...Gardy in the postseason.

I'd also like to ask a favor from any Twins fans that may be out there. Does anyone have any pictures of the 2011 player banners from around Target Field specifically Delmon? How different were the 2011 banners from the 2010 ones? I should have paid more attention all the times I was at Target Field, but didn't.

Thanks!

I've got a Delmon Young gamer that is a Dmitri Young bat. Used in Arizona Fall League a few years ago

sorry, repeat post. I've been working too much lately!
