Anybody wear any of your game worn items?

[8oh8]

The question I am most curious about is if any of you actually wear your memorabilia around (i.e. a jersey) or even tried the stuff on?

NO. When it comes to game used items, it just seems more special to think that the player was the only one to wear the item. Might just be me, but think that would ruin an item by wearing it around.

I hope not.It makes me ill when I think people do wear a Game Used Jersey around like its a retail jersey you can just go out and buy at your local store.

I wore my Chris Reitsma GU BP Jersey to a game once

Would anyone take their game used bat to the batting cages to hit a few balls? I am somewhat scared to hear these answers.

I wore my Mike Lamb GU TBTC Washington Senators jersey to the final game at RFK but as a rule no not even in the privacy of my home. As for bats, if they are uncracked sure I swing them a couple of times in my living room but would never hit anything with them.

I wore mine because I wanted to represent my favorite player at the time

I don't see the problem with wearing something once that I never plan on selling

I used to swing a Ramon Hernandez BP bat at the cages until I broke it there. Currently if I chose to go to the cages I have a Ben Grieve Sambat that had the slightest of cracks in it from ST a few years back that I taped the handle up real good that I use and I have an Eric Chavez Diablo bat that I use at the cages. Chavy gave me the bat to use for hitting cause I know him from being an A's season ticket holder for so long and I was giving him crap about how thin the handles were on the bat and he said they are great and give him a better feel during the swing and he gave me a new one right from the box and told me to try it.

I might be alone on this one but I most definitely would/did but hear me out......

I started collecting sneakers in '89 and have been a Griffey fan just as long. I acquired a pair of Griffey-Issued Nike sneakers and I'm very proud to say that I have worn them a couple times.

By the way, first post.

I agree if you never plan on selling the item go ahead and do what you want with it. Maybe it just gets to me because I wouldn't want to think a jersey I just purchased was worn around by some other guy.
