Picked up this nice wool, early 1980's cold weather Orioles jacket from the collection of Dennis Martinez (via Celebz Direct). While impossible to photomatch, it's most likely the jacket he is seen wearing on his 1981 Donruss card:

Just picked up this Lance Berkman helmet from eBay. Though it was authenticated in 2013 and advertised as used in 2012, my closest matches have all been from the 2011 season. What does everyone think as far as having a possible match? When I angle the helmet exactly like the photographs, many of the characteristics line up.

1998 Tim "Rock" Raines:

And a tougher get has been a '98 specific Raines Yankees bat, as I've seen almost all Cooper bats for that era.

Nice one Ben. I have a '96 LVS Raines and it was tough to find, but not as hard as my '01 Expos LVS bat. He mostly used Cooper (or Worth) over his career as you noted...

Hey, thank you, appreciate it. Not a big fan of Cooper bats, especially compared to LVS.
I hope his voting total keeps increasing for the Hall, certainly he deserves to be in, but its a crowded ballot this year. I think he gets elected within the next few years.
