Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Well, it took some time and ALOT more than I wanted to spend, but I FINALLY won a 70s throwback uniform! This one was worn by RONNY CEDENO. Jersey and pants w/MLB holo. I am sure once I am actually holding these in my hands, it will be that much sweeter.

Thanks Tony I am showing my age but I picked it up for 300.00 in an auction about seven years prior to ebay existing. It was the first baseball item my wife agreed let me buy after we married. I was making 7.25 an hour and going to graduate school so even at 300 it was a major sacrafice. It is one of my favorite pieces for that reason. By the way I still have the wife as well;)

This is one of the best-feeling posts I have read in a long time. :)

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Thanks Eric! I appreciate the comments.
@MLB~NUT, so you won the Ludwick...nice! Did you happen to see what the Derrek Lee went for? I missed the end of that auction. I was this close to bidding on that one also.

I was watching that auction too..it sold for $290. The only thing that held me back is the fact that it was worn for 1 game, but it was a hell of a debut so I think the winning bidder got a good price on it.

Hey fellas, I was the winning bidder!
2011 Derek Lee Pirates Home Game Used Jersey. Worn on August 1st, 2011 in his debut game with the Pirates in which he hit 2 HR's. MLB authentication.
Love the Ludwick jersey and the Cedeno throwback uniform too.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
AWESOME!! Great piece you got there, shame he has been hurt since that incredible debut. At least they took two of three from the Gnats.
What are the odds that all three jerseys from this auction were won by GUU members?! Very cool...:D.

I did some research, and found this list of players that hit them into the upper deck at Three Rivers:
- 1: Willie Stargell - 8/9/70 off Mets' Ron Taylor (RF) 469'
- 2: Willie Stargell - 5/30/71 off Cubs' Ken Holtzman (RF) 458'
- 3: Willie Stargell - 6/20/71 off Expos' Howie Reed (RF) 472'
- 4: Bob Robertson - 7/16/71 off Padres' Steve Arlin (LF) 456'
- 5: Willie Stargell - 5/31/73 off Braves' Gary Gentry (RF) 468'
- 6: Greg Luzinski - 4/18/79 off Pirates' Don Robinson (LF) 483'
- 7: Bobby Bonilla - 7/12/87 off Padres' Eric Show (RF) 454'
- 8: Howard Johnson - 4/15/91 off Pirates' Zane Smith (LF) 456'
- 9: Jeff Bagwell - 5/5/91 off Pirates' Bob Kipper (LF) 472'
- 10: Mark Whiten - 8/11/93 off Pirates' Blas Minor (RF) 464'
- 11: Glenallen Hill - 5/6/94 off Pirates' Denny Neagle (LF) 457'
- *: Frank Thomas - 7/11/94 in all star home run hitting contest (LCF) 519'
- 12: Jeff Bagwell - 5/29/96 off Pirates' Danny Darwin (LF) 459'
- 13: Devon White - 6/16/96 off Pirates' Denny Neagle (LF-facade) 456'
I also was able to find this photo, (the only one I could find on the internet) of a painted seat. It is above the numbered facade, to the right and is painted black with a white number. Kind of hard to see, but you can notice it if you look hard enough:
My thoughts are maybe "Bags" hit the concrete facade, and they attached a metal marker up there instead, because it did not land in a seat. I know at the Vet in Philly, they installed a marker for "Pops" moon shot (top right):
It was fun looking this up, and taking a trip down memory lane!
Cool thing; I just found video footage of Bagwell's second Upper Deck blast. It starts at 0:49 of this feature. You can see the numbers in LF, but not the #9 marker that I own from his first Three Rivers Stadium Upper Deck HR.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Guess what!!! I just found footage of my Bagwell HR marker. The video that this came from is from Frank Thomas's performance at the 1994 HR Derby. I never thought I would see my actual marker hanging from Three Rivers. I can't quite explain how excited I am, like that kid in the candy store. :D
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...rby-Marker.jpg
Here is the original video.
If someone could take high resolution screenshot(s) of the number 9 and email them to me, I would be eternally grateful to you. :)

Jay is still one of the nicest human beings on the planet, I think. I got to talk with him again a couple of weeks ago at an Arizona League game, where he was giving Andy Green a hand coaching the rookies, and I hope to see him again tomorrow, though he might be back to coaching his son's baseball team, now that school has started up.

That is really neat. I'm was glad to see them win the Giants series as well to hopefully get the ship turned in the right direction. But now it's on to Milwaukee and Miller Park. Yikes!
Does anybody per chance know what the team is going to do with the 1971 throwback uniforms that they wore earlier this season? I have been waiting for them to hit MLB Auctions but to no avail. Are they selling them in the team store instead? Does anybody on this thread have access to the team store? Would be grateful for any answers.

Here is some interesting photographic evidence about the plate. See the #11 in this photo where the #9 originally was? Some tape residue on my Bagwell marker seems to confirm that #11 was put over #9, sometime after the 1994 All-Star Game HR Derby in Pittsburgh. This is all notwithstanding that HR #11 was hit on May 6, 1994 by Glenallen Hill a couple months before the derby. Perhaps the Pirates didn't have the Hill plate made until later in the year. There are also some dents on my Bagwell HR marker that lend evidence to its being hit on the fly - once by Hill and possibly a couple more times in BP. Another interesting tidbit is that the HR distances of #9 and #11 are listed as different, even though ample evidence shows that they hit in the same spot.
#9: Jeff Bagwell - 5/5/91 off Pirates' Bob Kipper (LF) 472'
#11: Glenallen Hill - 5/6/94 off Pirates' Denny Neagle (LF) 457'

GREAT research done with the HR marker! I am glad you were able to piece everything together and find out what you did, that is simply awesome.
It is very gratifying when you own a piece and are able to get it's history.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Well, you hit the nail on the head for this series. Yesterday was a heart-breaker, and a sign that the Buccos have ran out of steam, to me personally :(.
Here's hoping they can at least finish above .500!

Just stuck it in there for pic purposes, Ludwick case should be here monday, Rolen Gamer went right back in it. That was the fastest I ever recieved anything from a MLB Auction, it was sent 2nd day Fed-Ex Signature, wish all MLB teams shipped items out that fast.... Cardinals usually take 3-6 weeks, and there only 25 miles away from me...

I was just kidding about the case :p, awesome you are getting a Ludwick one!
Yeah, Still no notification from MLB for me. Kind of crazy. I know I bought a Seattle Pilots Raul Ibanenz helmet years ago when I lived only 2 hours from Seattle, and had to write MLB after 2 months and ask "where is it?!"
I got it within 3 days after that. Hoping I do not have the same experience this time around with the Pirates.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
I'm sure you'll get it this week, can't see why not the auctions ended the same time.

Though I in theory agree with you, still nada, not even an email! Wonder if the Lee jersey arrived yet?
Very interesting when and how they decide to ship items at MLB :confused:.

I've never ever recieved a email stating an MLB Auction item I won has shipped, it just arrives unannounced usually ups signature, or usps signature, the fed-ex signature delivery was a surprise on a saturday, luckily I was at home.:D

Lee has not arrived yet. Thought I would get it today since the Ludwick jersey already arrived, but no dice.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Still no jersey, but just wanted to say glad the Pirates seem to be out of their horrible pitching funk, if the last three games are any indication (1-0 lose to Brewers, 2-1 extra inning lose to Brew and 6-2 win over Cards).
Now if they can actually score some runs...

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Shipp 96, the Lee jersey has arrived. Wow, it's a size 54, the largest jersey in my collection.

Hopefully the Cardinals, take the Series from the Pirates... Since the Pirates are like 11 games out anyways...:p :p :p

Not relevant, the Cards are NOT going to win the Division, so I would rather see Pittsburgh achieve an above .500 season than St. Louis have a respectable 2nd place finish! And yeah, I know you are a Cards fan :cool:.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
So, I have now gone essentially one week longer than MLB~NUT, and 2 days longer than hrvatwill, still no uniform :mad:. I wrote MLB customer service today and asked what is the deal? I have yet to hear back from them, but there is another auction going on now and I would love to bid, but will not out of principal if these do not arrive by the end of this week. They sure did not hesitate to take my funds after winning...
Don't know why three jerseys/pants end at all at once, and there is such a disparity in shipping times? Trying not to get too upset, but it is annoying.
I will also say NFL auctions have never taken longer than one week to get me the items I have won. And I win ALOT on there!

Does anyone know a contact phone number for MLB auctions? Here is the deal. So it's still not here and I am over that. What I am not happy about is that I have written MLB.com "customer service" twice, responded to the email that came from the Pirates when I won and no one has responded to me in days. That part is just unacceptable.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

You need to contact who ever is head of Pirates authentices, or their game used dept, thats if you know who it is. Maybe this # Shipp 412-323-5000. Hope this helps
