Shane Victorino game used?

Here is a photo of three bats that Victorino signed for me earlier this year when he was on Oahu. The other bats are stored at a different location.

Also, a correction to my previous post. He refused to sign the Dodgers pants.

Kind Regards,

Did he give a reason?

No, he didn't give a reason. Maybe it was because the Dodgers had him twice and let him go?

This isn't a GU related post but I wanted to mention that I had a chance to meet Shane Victorino's dad earlier today. I was on my way to the island of Lanai for a short vacation and Shane's dad was on the same flight.

Lanai is one of the least populated islands in the State of Hawaii (total island pop = 3000) and Shane's dad was travelling here as part of his work for the City & County of Maui, Molokai and Lanai (each island is so small in population that the 3 islands form a single county within the State).

His father was a very personable, humble, and down-to-earth man who was obviously a tremendous positive influence on his son. He talked about how Shane had to be patient and pay his dues in the minors for 7 years before things finally fell into place with the Phillies.

Apparently, Shane attended a high school on Maui with a total enrollment of 300 students which didn't field a very competitive HS baseball team. (After all, how good could it be when the total enrollment of 300 students?)

Despite Shane being a MLB prospect in HS, he had to endure playing on a mediocre HS team that lost much more often than it won. As a result, Shane's dad mentioned how his son learned the importance of having to persevere which helped him stay focused during his 7 year stint in the minors. Eventually, Shane's persistence paid off and, combined with his god given talents, helped him earn his current spot as a starting outfielder for the Phillies.
