I recall Bob Kennedy. Among other things, he was part of Phil Wrigley's ill-fated College of Coaches, but actually played the head coach role in 1963, '64, and part of '65. In '63, he was the first field skipper to lead the Cubs to an above .500 record (82-80) since 1946.

Just picked up my first game used towel from eBay and pretty sure I've photo-matched it. It's from the Oct 6, 2013 game, Saints v Bears in Chicago and was worn by Malcolm Jenkins. Found quite a few pics of Jenkins wearing it (clean and with the black dirt/paint stripes), but this one is pretty good. Most players from both teams were wearing the pink towels, etc and this towel came from the visitors locker-room at Soldier Field.

2010 Ryan Hanigan Game Used NLDS Game 3 Home Jersey. MLB Authenticated and signed. It has tons of use and is dirty as heck.

I hate to see that Ryan was traded today but at least he landed with a contender and a big multi-year contract.

1999 Corky Miller Game Used Arizona Fall League Road Jersey. He set the record for most HBP in the AFL in 1999.

The new style LVS bats are starting to grow on me.

2013 Brandon Phillips Game Used Helmet - Entire Season

- Photomatched from April through the Wild-Card Game

I've been waiting a few years to land the right Phillips helmet for my collection and the right one finally came in the mail today. It's absolutely trashed and covered with tar.

Looks like Ryan's binging!! Do we need to have an intervention?
