The Fenway Yawkee Way store is advertising a number of game-used balls from the 2013 season on mlb.com at a fixed price. They're near the end of the listings for game-used balls on mlb.com. I understand they're only given as from the date of that game, without specifics such as batter, inning, etc. It looks like they authenticated about 12 balls per game typically.

Just got this today - 2005 Opening Day Ring Ceremony Schilling (gold trim), signed.

This was sold as an 'issued' jersey, I believe because he didn't pitch that game. But it shows signs of being worn that game, including stains, dirt, and minor sweating. I picked it up for a song, going to try to photo match it now.

Not exactly game used, but it was too hard to pass up. A friend of mine recently went to an auction of some consolidated storage units. One of them had several of the old Sports Illustrated posters. They were autographed, framed, & matted. He grabbed this 1968 poster of Carl Yastrzemski for me. I was thrilled to get the phone call, and I picked it up yesterday.

Let me know if you come across any obscure Red Sox common bats, always looking to upgrade. Still looking for Carmen Fanzone, George Smith, Ken Poulsen, Ron Mahay, Benintendi, Steve Selskey, and Michael Martinez.

Manny Ramirez used this bat to hit his 5th HR of 2004. A 2-run shot against the Yankees in NY that turned out being a game winner. Of course he would go on to be MVP of the World Series.
