Re: April 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

While I've had the ball since last year, I only recently acquired the jersey from one of my favorite Astros' photos.

According to Mike Acosta, Brandon Barnes only wore one road grey in 2013, and the MLB authentication database seems to support that.

To be sure, I videomatched the jersey, and it is the same one I own. I know that this is nothing earth-shattering, but it's fun to get items from photos I have taken.



The photograph, "Shadow Play," that I took at Safeco of Barnes making a nice catch.

That "Shadow Play" is a work of art, how very cool to get the jersey and the ball from it!

That photo is awesome, and the items related help establish quite a unique gathering of collectibles. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise...this is a great threesome.

Picked up this nice Manny Machado. Uncracked and Shows much more use than the photos show. Nice photomatch via the wood grain to boot.

1.) Mike Piazza 1992 rookie jersey. Supposedly the first ever jersey issued to Piazza during his September call up in 1992. Mike's rookie #25 used to be on the jersey and was switched to #31 the following Spring. Mike made his debut in Chicago and recorded his first career hit that day. The jersey is photo matched to his '93 Flair and '93 Bowman cards.
2.) Ladainian Tomlinson 2006 powder blue home jersey worn during his record-setting, MVP season. LT had 172 yards and 3 TD's vs Cleveland while wearing this jersey and possibly worn early in the season while playing Pittsburgh. It's hard to imagine a running back having a better season with the way the rules have changed. The jersey has countless photo matches.
3.) George Brett game used bat from his final opening day of his HOF career on 4/5/93. Brett faced Roger Clemens all four times that day and recorded career hit #3,006 during his second at bat. Judging by the use, I believe it would be safe to assume the bat was used for that specific hit and broken his final at bat, even though it cannot be proven without footage from the game.

All three items were previously owned by forum members and I am grateful for the relationships I have been able to build on this site over the years.
