Holiday Pick Ups

Re: Holiday Pick Ups

For the holidays, I got a hat from my Mom, as well as a couple presents I bought for myself. As I have several hobbies, most of my presents were not baseball-related - a photo-organizing program from my Dad, and a nice book, stuffed animal, and shirt from my brother.

Re: Holiday Pick Ups

I must admit I was shocked to get two game used pieces from my family. First, my wife acquired a Biggio game used bat from 2007 with the help of my father. Second, my mother and father had been holding out on a 2004 Andy Pettitte Game Used Jersey from his first ever start as an Astro. They actually bought the jersey in summer of 2009, but just gifted it.

Was a great Christmas!

Re: Holiday Pick Ups

These are not game used, but are the pride of this daddy's collection. A pink and black, LS signed by my two kids! Got to love my daughters inscription, and my son's art (he said its daddy and him). The also came with a LOA signed by my wife and kids.

Scott,

This is awesome! I can only imagine the joy this brought to your day! I have a little girl on the way and am looking forward to next Christmas already!

Thanks for sharing!

Re: Holiday Pick Ups

Nothing game used. My step dad gave me his collection of baseball bat modeled pocket knives. Most are from the 1920s-1940s.

And I got this Band of Brothers poster signed by 6 members of Easy Company...

Re: Holiday Pick Ups

I'm with you Dave. My wife or family would have no idea where to start or what to buy so no use even asking.

Glad to see the great items everyone got as gifts today!

The next game used gift I get from my family will be the first....EVER!!

BAH, HUMBUG!

In my family, it's not where to go or what to buy...my family (especially my wife) does not consider something a legitimate Christmas gift if it's something you specifically asked for.

SantaCam shows what appears to be a tightly wrapped bat under the tree.
