August 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

I recently acquired a signed and MLB authenticated ball from Adam Dunn's 400th career home run game. Today (a decade and 3 days later), I received this MLB authenticated ball from Adam Dunn's 100th career home run game. The MLB authentication program has come a long way in 10 years!

He signed some during batting practice at fenway last night. I was trying to get his homerun ball after the game but the people left before I could reach them.

While I don't have it in hand yet I purchased the 75th anniversary patch that was on Jimmy Nelson's jersey. The Brewers have done this with their one day patches this year and they have been pretty popular, likely because of their price. Prices range from $15-$35.

I decided to go with Jimmy Nelson's because he got his first professional hit In the game. I really want to get a picture from the game of him signed and inscribed, then to frame it with the patch. I think it would look really nice.

^He says he hasn't gotten a hit for like 10years and watching him run I totally believe him. Runs through first on a hit into CF.
