2013 Seattle Mariners FanFest - January 26/27

[frikativ54]

Greetings Fellow M's Fans:

I thought I would make a thread for Seattle Mariners' FanFest. Players who are scheduled to attend include: Brendan Ryan, Jesus Montero, Tom Wilhelmsen, Kyle Seager, Casper Wells, Michael Saunders, Blake Beavan, Dan Wilson, Jay Buhner, Mike Zunino, Nick Franklin, James Paxton, and a couple of others.

I'm especially excited this year, as the first day of the event falls on my birthday.

There is also a Felixing Photo Op booth, which I'm going to have to try out.

LMK which of you are going to show up at FanFest. I would love to meet fellow forum members.

Hi Eric,

Happy Birthday to you as well.

That's awesome that you'll make it to FanFest too. Have you gone before?

If you're at the game used booth, you'll probably see me there. I'll be wearing my Felix Hernandez road alternate navy jersey and black pants, and I have thick, dark brown hair. My Astros' cap won't make it too difficult to spot me either.

I know he's been gone awhile but any chance there could be some jack wilson items left?

Thanks

Thanks Les,

We went last year for the first time and enjoyed it! I thought I was going to be able to get FF tickets that would let us get in a couple hours early but it didnt work out

I'll be at the GU booth. Hoping to find a batting helmet or two. I'm a Big guy with Glasses prob wearing a blue throwback jersey.

Yeah, the only people who can get in early are those with season tickets.

We should definitely meet up at the game used booth.

There will almost certainly be batting helmets there, as the Mariners authenticated a set of game used helmets the last game of the season. They also authenticated maybe 90 or so older helmets, not to specific players, but only to numbers. Obviously, this means that some have been sitting around for a while and cannot necessarily be attributed to certain players.

Look for any Montero G/U stuff for me Les ;-) Thanks

Maybe some right handed #2 helmets possibly used by Jack Wilson? Do the mariners also sell over the phone?

Going through the authentication, I found that EK242978-EK242980 are all authenticated as issued to #2. However, the numbers don't say who used them, as there is no way to be certain. Other than us photomatching them, that is.

As for the M's taking orders by phone, they don't have direct access to the helmets. They'd have to have someone search for them, and my understanding is that many are already down at the FanFest game used kiosk.

I would be willing to search for you at FanFest, if you like. Just LMK.

Of course. You know I'll be looking out for you.

If there are baseballs for any series versus the Yankees, I am interested.

And if they are reasonable - I will take a dozen or two.


Thanks!

Are you looking for hit balls? Groundouts? Foul tips? Or just anything pitched or hit by Yankees?

How much are you looking to pay for them?

Generic baseballs - I paid $20 each in the past - foul tip, dirt and so forth.

Strikeout and hit - $50 each depends on the player.


But, if I can get a bundle discount - I will take two dozens and be happy with them.

I'd be interested in anything used by Jack. If they were to have any balls helmets etc. I'd be interested.
