When to harass MiLB clubs for GU :) ?

[Klattsy]

Hi All,

There are plenty of Aussie guys floating around various levels of the minors at the moment. I was wondering when I could expect to see GU gear appear on MiLB Auctions or online Team Stores?

Obviously jersey's won't be available until end of year, but thinks like caps, gloves, cleats, bats ect - do these get put on MiLB Auctions? Is it worth emailing all the clubs now?

Any advice would be great,

Thanks,
Mark.

Most MiLB teams don't put anything but jerseys for auction. My home team (Rangers' AAA) has bats in the team store throughout the season. They put jerseys on eBay, and if they don't sell, they go to the team store. Last year the auctioned the 4th of July hats, and I purchased one at the store since it didn't sell.

Also,
I asked Ryan Rowland-Smith if he had anything from Spring Training, or extra equipment with him when I saw him a week ago, and he told me they didn't give him much, and he didn't bring much either. He also said he burned all of his bats, but he was joking. Great guy

We go to several Mudcats games each season and my son is usually a hit with the players. So far he's scored 2 bats in 2 games this year. Felex Perez and a HR bat from David Cook.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Shaun, did you see RRS at an OKC game? I tried to get him on twitter but didn't get a reply.

Some teams I am looking specifically for are New Britton, Fort Myers, San Antonion, Portland, Reading, Mississippi, Albuqerque, Leigh Valley, Toledo, Clearwater, Daytona, St Lucie, Lake County, Charlotte and in the Independent League - Somerset Patriots.

Thanks!

Is that you in the pics? If so, that's really cool. How are you "a hit with the players"? Are there any secrets to getting the guys to give you game used?

Keep collecting!

what do you want from ft myers and st lucie?

Fort Myers has James Beresford (#2, 2B) & Brad Tippett (#19, P) playing for them, St Lucie has Stefan Welch (#22, 1B)...

Do they have team shops where they sell bats during the season?

Ryan was in Round Rock when OKC came. Awesome guy!
