Funny story, about 2 and a half seasons ago at a baseball show signing Pudge was there. I collect Yankees autographs but so wanted a Pudge auto but I couldnt pull the trigger and said to myself damn with his career why couldnt the Yankees have picked him up so I could of added him to my bat???

(I have one bat loaded with Yankees auto's)

I was seriously considering jumping the gun and getting the auto on the bat anyway with hopes maybe in the future the Yankees will pick him up. Then I said to myself "NO WAY" "THE YANKEES WILL NEVER PICK HIM UP" "NO WAY WILL HE EVER WANT TO PLAY SECOND FIDDLE TO POSADA" "POSADA AND HIM ARE LIKE THE ARCH RIVALS OF THERE PEAKS IN BASEBALL" "NOT GONNA HAPPEN"

Sure enough about 3 to 4 months later in a late season aquiring the Yankees picked up Pudge as a back up to Posada.

As you can imagine a huge "SMH" to myself lol

Here's my Pudge bat, which I photomatched to a couple spring training games this year. The handle is covered in pine tar and the bat is hammered with use. I can even make out an MLB logo on the bat from a ball transfer. Love it. Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest. I need to update my camera.

My Pudge bat, acquired when he was here in Detroit. I still need to get it signed.

Great items everyone! I loved Pudge as a Marlin. A high character, relentless competitor. Wish we had ownership that was truly invested in the South Florida community and its fans. Thanks for posting.
