Latest addition to my Red Sox collection, 2007 Manny Ramirez Sam bat absolutely hammered with game use, this bat went to war!

Re: September pick-ups

I was expecting to have had the opportunity to pickup Adrian Cardenas' GU jerseys from this season with the Blueclaws, but he ended up buying them all! So here are my two pickups so far for September. The first pic is a MLB authenticated game used ball from the 2007 Futures Game that was pitched by Pedro Beato and hit by Adrian Cardenas for a single (in his only at-bat) in the sixth inning. This is cool for me as this is the actual ball he hit AND it is his first MLB authenticated hit!
The second ball is a ball pitched by Carlos Carrasco and was hit by Jay Bruce for a triple in the 2nd inning! Again it was the actual ball that was hit for the triple! I believe this is also Jay Bruce's first MLB authenticated hit as well! You don't see those for sale very often!

I'm new here and see a lot of baseball, so I hope football is acceptable.

Re: September pick-ups

I was fortunate to pick up a Rick Ankiel game-used bat from the Cardinals Authentics Store at the stadium. As you probably know, Rick debuted as an outfielder on 8/9 after a career as a pitcher (and a long, improbable climb back through the minors, which was hampered by injury). Rick hit a HR that first game and then hit two more on 8/11 on a nationally televised game. Based on the handle tape pattern, I think my bat may be the one he used in those games.

I bought it off a board member on extremeskins.com. He bought it from PSI and had is signed by Portis. I almost paid $1800.00 for an unwashed one last year that was used during the Jacksonville OT win, but got this one for much less and it has great wear.

Todd-

It looks like you have a pretty rare piece there. From what I can tell, the only regular season game where the Redskins wore the red jersey was 11-13-05 versus Tampa Bay

5 photos of Portis from that game are located here

Type in 2005 Clinton Portis Tampa to see the photos

Do the marks in these photos match the ones on your jersey?

Thanks for looking it up for me. The team repair is located right where I put the circle. You can't see a rip in the picture, but I would say that it looks like a mtch. What do you think?

Re: September pick-ups

This hasnt arrived yet, and I hope that I dont jinx myself by posting pics of it, but I paid for it therefore, I own it. Bat was purchased from a non-collector who said that he got it a few years ago through a friendship with former teammate Scott Service. Seller said that the bat is uncracked but then again he may not really know how to tell. Grace has always been on my list as one of my favorite bats that I wanted to pick up if the price was right and this time, it was. Nice bat from a semi-star who never really got the appreciation he deserved. Grace was a 3 time all star, lifetime .303 hitter over 16 seasons, had the most hits in the 90's (41 more than Gwynn), 4 gold gloves, and won a World Series in 2001. Grace and Pete Rose are the only 2 players to lead a decade in hits and that are not in the HOF.

Yep Dan, that's it! Thanks!

I hate to say that I think I stole it, but I think that I stole it.
