June Pick Ups

[ironmanfan]

Well not necessarily game used, the first item is a very rare 24" x 30" sign from 09/06/95 that hung inside the gates at Camden Yards the night that Cal passed Lou Gehrig. I suppose the Orioles didn't mention Cal by name to deter theft of these items, however I was able to get one from an Orioles employee and had Cal sign it...Other items is a signed, game issued bat from the 1995 All Star Game:

I havn't had a chance to post my most recent pick ups so june is as good a time as any. The first couple are 3 Buffalo Bisons game used hats belonging to Asdrubal Cabrera, Trevor Crowe, and Josh Barfield. The last one is my new favorite bat I picked up at the tribe team shop on saturday the 30th, and it is a Ryan Garko 125th anniversary bat, that is just loaded with tar and cracked. I think i have narrowed it's use down to a general time frame (april 23-28) but i am still trying to find high res pics so i can photomatch....Little help Kyle???

My first Edgar Martinez bat arrived this morning. It's a LVS M356 from 2000 with a slight crack and shows tons of use in the form of multiple ball marks and blue ink transfers, cleat marks, and ball stitch and donut impressions. Also has heavy pine tar with some amber drip clusters on the mid-upper handle. Auto'd and inscribed "gamer."

Sweet gamer!

Thanks! I've only acquired a couple more than a handful since I caught the bug last year, but this one and the Boggs I got from Andy Benish rank as my favorites with respect to game use.

Good golly, Miss Molly! Very nice indeed!

Homer Bailey bat, hopefully the pitcher puts it together someday for the Reds.
