Wanted: Bobby Madritsch jersey

[Dewey2007]

Does anyone have a Bobby Madritsch Mariners GU jersey they would be interested in selling??

If so, please contact me at: deweystg@berkeley.edu

I do not but I was curious why you wanted one. I played little league baseball with him and went to high school with him. His dad used to drive my brother and I with Bobby and his brother Kenny to our 16 year old traveling games.

I'm Native American also and I thought it would be nice to add some memorabilia of one of the more recent Native players in MLB of which there aren't many.

That is awesome. It is nice to see someone collect something of I guy I grew up with. Again, sorry for imposing I was just curious.

You weren't imposing in anyway. I think that's what's great about this forum is you get stories like yours of growing up with a former player. Do you still stay in touch with him? If you do put in the good word that I'm looking for one his jerseys!

I have not spoke to him in a few years. Last time I saw him was right before all the news started about him and he had just made it to the pros. He was at Durbin's Tavern on79th Street. (Our Local Bar) I still see Madridtch jerseys being worn in there when i get back home. (People love it on the Southside when a local kid makes it)
