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

funny story....i bought a ricky gutierrez cubs SAM game used bat from elite and it had very light use but i got it for 25 bucks. i was bored one day and decided to take it down to the park and hit with a major league certified bat. It was pretty cool hitting with it and i have been just messing around using it for bp over the past 2 years. It had an autograph and that wore off and the bat is trashed with ink tranfers from all different types of baseballs. I just keep using it because i know it shouldnt ever crack and i love the sound of wooden bats. Now would i take any other game used bat i own and take a few hacks for real? No way jose. But i always take a few cuts at dead air in my room whenever a new bat comes in.

I bought a 1990s Notre Dame game worn home jersey for real cheap off ebay a few years ago - on arrival, I could tell the previous owner had definitely washed the jersey at least a few times. But, it also was a good sized skill cut jersey that fit me well (and I couldn't beat the price) - so rather than complain, I decided to keep it , and use it as my game day jersey to wear. Other than that instance, no, I don't try on or wear the jerseys.

I have tried on the Kingman and Thome jerseys momentarily in my sports room to check out the look in a mirror. I would never venture beyond that. These things cost too much money to mess with...
