Since you like Michael Jordan, you will like the Michael Jordan question.

Strasburg has very long fingers and can make the balls dance. He has movement on his pitches which makes him special to go with a 100 MPH fastball and 92 MPH changeup.
Now then, is a jersey he wore in a game he didn't pitch in worth 10K? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
I took some photos of him yesterday in the Throwback:

Ah, didn't know he didn't pitch, just figured since it was "game used". Not following this "Stras mania" is fine for me as I could care less about him or any of his memorabilia.
I still say this "game used" jersey is going to go for a lot more than $1k as it sits now. Maybe not $10k, but definitely a few thousand, as there's lot of suckers out there eating this crap up alive for an unproven MLB player.
Have fun!

Re: Strasburg mania continues - MLB '70 Senators jerseys up
Question for the masses: On Ebay there are a slew (or at least there was the other day) of balls that the seller cites are GU from Strats debut game. They are MLB holoed and they are listed in the MLB database as "game ready" baseballs from Strats debut game. Does anyone know more about this? Is it just like jerseys that the chain of custody broke so MLB wont list them as GU though they are or were they never actually used in the game?

Yes, those are the balls that the umpire still had in his pouch at the end of the game and also balls ready to come into the game that weren't used.
MLB has hologram'd game ready balls before at the World Series and All Star game.

Re: Strasburg mania continues - MLB '70 Senators jerseys up
Also be aware that MLB has authenticated 'replica' lineup cards for the game. In the case of the Pirates card, the actual card plus two 'replica' cards are listed in the MLB database.
This is a very unfortunate precedent e.g. last week the Pirates auctioned one of the replica cards, describing it as the game used lineup card with no disclosure of the replica cards.
Authentication of these 'replica' cards is not limited to the Strasburg debut game. I recently encountered another one from the Cardinals/Cubs game played on May 30.
Buyer beware.
MLB, please recognize that practices such as this violate the historic integrity of these events and the artifacts that come out of them.
