Anyone that has purchased from the Cardinals winter warmup..
Question -I just recently purchased turf shoes that originated from the Cardinals winter warmup. I was wondering if they put clear tape with the players last name on items?
I don't think this would be done by the player since his number is already on there.
I think the Cardinals do this to keep track of items.
Let me know if anybody has any insight
thanks

Wouldn't surprise me if the Cardinals Care staff did that. I've seen names written on Scotch tape and stuck to knobs of bats with no numbers. It's one way that volunteers (who don't necessarily know players by their numbers or signatures) can quickly identify items.

Jeff,
thanks a lot for the reply. i was going to email you if no one responded.
they are tino martinez turf shoes with his "21" on them. they had martinez on scotch tape on the back. i peeled it off as it didnt look like it was used with the tape on there.
thanks a lot for the help as it was exactly the info i was looking for.

At least you have an identifier.
I stopped buying hats from the Warmup after digging through a bin of gamers. I was told to bring a list of numbers since they were all the same price, and the only way to identify them was on the hat.
My right arm smelled hideous after fighting for a non-numbered signed hat from Matt Morris.

I purchased it from someone that did the digging. They said its a mad dash once the doors open.But, the "21" matches Tino style writing from his bats.
At least you were able to wash away the hideous smell...hopefully

Plan on hitting the Winter Warm-Up this year. Pretty excited. All the people I talked to said Pujols wasnt too friendly last year and he left early.

Hello all,
I have attended the Winter Warm up the last several years and its always a good time, but very crowded. Pujols is always been somewhat rude from my experiences.
