Thanks to forum member wllump52 , I was awarded the chance to contact a MLB player , I was given contact info for Terrell Lowerey . I need (wrong , you need something to eat or drink , you need to breath) , I want a T. Lowerey bat from his Devil Rays days in 1999 for my DRay collection .
So thanks to wllump52, I called Mr. Lowerey . First I tried to tell him how I got his information from a member of GUU . His response was , "what is the purpose of your call !" I didn't hear him clearly and responded "what am I calling for?" . He said , yes .
I went and told him I collected Devil Rays g/u stuff and I asked about buying a Devil Rays game used bat from him . He said he didn't think he had a bat from when he played for Tampa Bay and that it had been almost 10 years ago since he played for them . I said , yes sir back in 1999 . Then he said his playing equipment was in storage and how he would have to go through his stuff to try and find it . I asked also about buying a fielding glove too . He replied he used the same glove his entire pro career and the glove IS NOT for sale.
Then the killer was when he said "I don't think it would be worth my time to sell you a bat ".
So I politely thanked him for his time and for him to have a good day .
I believe he was not happy with the call and I can respect that . But it would have been nice to have worked out a deal .
So I am hoping for one to turn sooner or later on ebay or here, not in no hurries .......
