Orioles at Tigers

Magglio Ordonez used what appeared to be an Ivan Rodriguez LVS P72 in the first inning when he grounded out to second to pick up an RBI.

Pudge must have left a lot of lumber behind in Detroit since he hasn't played for the Tigers since July 30, 2008. Did anybody else see this or happen to get a screenshot?

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

These aren't recent pickups but I was digging through stuff I had in the basement and I think both of these guys are making nice contributions this year.... so I thought I would share. Enjoy!

According to Marc Himelstein in one the emails he sent out last year,

At the end of the 2008 season, I cleared the clubhouse of all remaining Pudge bats. ... As I went through the bats the other day, I pulled out one dozen nice Marucci bats. These were a rare find considering the amount of bats he left behind.

If a dozen of a bat is "rare", he must have left many more than that. I would assume that between Rodriguez being traded and the end of the season when Marc collected the remaining lumber, many of the other players took some it it.

Also, Rodriguez "left behind a box of cleats after he was traded".

GU 1st base from Comerica Park 5/7/08 used innings 6-9(Tigers come from behind for the win vs. Red Sox on a walk off bloop single by Placido Polanco)

If this was a broken-bat single, I believe someone on this forum owns it...

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Anybody make it to the Garage Sale?

I got my Trammell Cooper bat signed today, and felt like taking a family photo of my early 90s Tigers bats. I would love to add a Tettleton, Deer, Fielder, Cuyler, and Fryman someday...those were some terrible teams, but they were fun to watch and scored a ton of runs.
