August Pickups!!!

[jake33]

Hank Blalock 2010 game used rays jersey and his 2010 game used batting helmet. Helmet is believed to be the last helmet he used in MLB. the jersey is the second to last jersey he ever wore. On June 27, 2010 the rays wore powder blue that day. The day before they wore white. Jersye is a size 50 + 1 inch sleeve length and tapered "2010" tagging. Interestingly enough, in 2010 the Rays had "set 2010" tagging and just "2010" tagging on their jerseys.

The other batting helmet is of one of my all time favorite Tampa Bay Rays Shawn Riggans #11. This helmet was authenticated to the last game of the 2009 MLB season vs. NYY. Shawn wore #11 for the last month of the season instead of his regular #9, becuase the Rays picked up Gregg Zaun who wore #9. Shawn had his final MLB at bat in this helmet, a strikeout vs. Phil Coke. I have the game on video as well.

Now the chase starts of trying to run down Riggans and Blalock to get them to sign both helmets.

Thrilled to get these finds that took 2+ years to run down. Thanks to Korey as welL!
