Anyone win anything from last nights Mears auction?

Not Mears, but I just participated in my first Hunt auctions, the online auction that ended Wednesday night, and came out of it with the gold 2002 Bob Brenly National League All-Star Game Workout Day/Home Run Derby jersey that I was lusting after, and a ton of game-worn Team USA items from Daniel Perales, Mark Rosen (I must have been bidding against his mother!) and Sergio Santos.

Why the Perales stuff?

He isn't a Diamondback anymore

Neither is Santos - not since '05. They were at one time, though, and that's all I really care about.

I wouldn't have paid for Perales' stuff what I did for Rosen's; in fact the $110 I paid for the Perales uniforms was also my high bid for that lot.

Not a big deal, but I won the Todd Hundley batting gloves

I picked up these Walter Davis game worn shoes. They'll go great with my Suns Walter Davis jersey.

I won the Bobby Bonds All star game nameplate. I was bidding on two other items (juan gonzalez helmet and piazza batting gloves) but wasn't willing to spend the money...waiting for them to have a nice Thomas item for sale in a future auction to blow my credit on

I got the Ed Mathews H&B "Spline" bat and the Blasingame bat. I've wanted one of the Spline bats in my collection for a while. I've really enjoyed the items and customer service of the MEARS auctions.

Weren't the #23 jerseys from the purported Lastings Milledge lot?

I'm assuming they didn't post the wrong photo in the Rosen auction, since the caption refers to "23 Rosen" being on a number of items...oh, and I just remembered - you can see "ROSEN" written in the waistband of the white pants!

Looks like Rosen isn't in the DBacks organization any longer, either - I thought he'd spent the entire season in '08 with double-A Mobile, but apparently he signed, in June, with the Independent League York Revolution, where he was a teammate of...so that's what happened to Shea Hillenbrand.

Speaking of York, that would be a good autographing destination for you Orioles fans, and I know there's at least one of you out there - the Revolution's manager is Chris Hoiles, and their pitching coach is Tippy Martinez.
