    mariners 2014 team issue bats

    Went t o the 1st day of mariners fanfest today and picked up 3 interesting bats all team issued the employee there said they had found a ton of old bats in the clubhouse and were selling them.

    The 1st one was a michael morse bat. They had about 10 different morse bats from his early time with the nationals to the end of his time with the mariners. i picked up a chandler bat. All of the bats were his model either chandler or louisville sluggers with his signature pine tar job. But they were all broken in the same place and they were broken like he had just smashed them against the ground.


    The second bat was a Paul Sorrento bat with good use, medium pine tar and a spiderweb tape job. seems like a normal Sorrento bat but it is also signed approximately 12 times the signatures are all in silver sharpie but none are really good signatures, it kind of looks like he was practicing his autograph. The bat is uncracked.

    the 3rd one is an edgar martinez Rawlings bat with light use a couple of very light ball marks with medium pine tar. They had about 16 different edgar bats there all with very light use (the one i got was the most used) all seemed like his signature models(louisville slugger ((about 4-5)), Rawlings((about 10)), and D-bats ((only 2))). They were all uncracked.

    All of the bats had MLB authentication stickers but are not in the system yet.

    Did anyone else see these or has anyone seen anything like it? please let me know thanks. I could also use some help photomatching them.

    I will get photos up soon

    Thanks,

    Cole

              no bats of them but i believe they had a couple of jerseys and they had about 50 helmets and i didnt really look through all of them but there might have been a miller or a franklin.

                  team issued jerseys about 250

                  game used jerseys about 350-400 regular price

                  they run sales where all memorabilia is 30-50% off for promotions like during Christmas, fanfest, opening day ect. so those are the best times to get anything.

                        The Edgar bats all appeared to be just issued, some still had the plastic bag on them, a few had a very light amount of tar but none were the typical tar caked bats you're used to seeing. Cole did get the one with the most use but to me it seemed more like a BP bat to me, it may very well be a gamer but I passed because of the lack of typical use. That Sorrento was an odd one for sure and I came to the same conclusion of testing a pen/signature.


                        To answer some of the other questions..

                        The helmets are mixed years, so you've got to be careful and not just rely on the number on the back, many were the newer style but a number of them are from a few years back I believe.

                        As for jerseys, I saw the most expensive marked at $300 but there was a 50% sale going on so most jerseys were $100, $125 or $150. I may have missed some but I think that was the most expensive. No special themed jerseys except 2 of the military camo night jerseys, Saunders and Wedge. A good portion of them also had the HY patch on the sleeve worn for the last few weeks? of the season. Most players had most of the styles avail. BP, Home, Road, Teal, Navy.

                        Overall a good number of jerseys from last year but there weren't really any locker nameplates or hats to be found. An ok selection of bats, esp. if you're a Mike Morse fan, it seemed like half of the total bats there were his.
                        Always looking for Seattle Mariners & anything of Felix Hernandez, Jay Buhner, Richie Sexson and Arthur Rhodes.

                          I was looking for a Griffey Jr. Team issued Spring Training Jersey. Can you see if any are available for me?
