I've been posting on the wanted section for several weeks now and wanted to show some of the items I've picked up the past 2 months. Also, I have his game used 2010 All-Star bp jersey on the way. Once I photo match, I'll post the pics.
2004 Rookie game used Pirate jersey
2004 game used Orioles jersey - Special thanks to Geoff, never thought I'd find this one, super rare. (Only need the Ray and Royal jerseys to complete the rookie year collection)
Pirate game used bat
Game used batting gloves
HR ball from 7/25/10 againt the Tigers - Big thanks to Ryan for this one.
3rd HR ball from 5/15/11 against the Twins (I'm posting the story about this ball because it's really funny...the person who wrote this is a big Twins fan)

He hits that one in to center right field right near the flag poles. As is custom here in Twin's Territory the lucky fan that caught the ball throws it back on to the field. Michael Cuddyer picks the ball up and throws it to the groundskeeper who sits right in front of my season ticket seats. I am in Section 104. The groundskeeper then hands the ball to my daughter. Now, earlier that day Matt Tolbert threw my son a ball just after the warm up. These are great seats and definitely the place to be during the warm up. Lots of balls come up in to the stands here.
So, needless to say my daughter is very excited but to her a ball is a ball and she doesn't understand the significance of her ball. So my son and daughter are comparing balls and decide to trade. A few minutes later the 1st base umpire comes over and says "Young lady, that man might play baseball for another 15 years and never hit 3 Home Runs in one game ever again. Could I give you this ball for yours so I can give him back his ball.
And you guessed, my daughter hands over the wrong ball!
Well, we think surely Mr. Bautista will come over to say thank you and when he does we can fix the error. Unfortunately, he didn't take the time to do that so he is now the owner of Matt Tolbert's practice ball. His loss is your gain and you can own a piece of history!

You are bidding on the REAL 3rd Home Run Ball that you see in my daughter's hand on the jumbotron picture. I will also send along my ticket and anything else you need to verify this event.
Now if for some reason Mr. Bautista reads this and wants his ball back we will consider ending the auction early so we can do the right thing. Otherwise Good Luck, Happy Bidding and remember, saying thank you can be more important than you think.
