Better late than never ...
Here is the jersey James Shield wore in his Royals debut, April 1, 2013, against the White Sox.

I was at this game in Chicago. Very nice piece.

Johnny Damon 1999-2000 game used glove

After George Brett retired, Johnny Damon was my favorite position player on the Royals until Carlos Beltran came around. Damon was part of the what could have been outfield of Damon, Beltran and Dye (my glove may even be the glove in the picture of the 3 of them below). This is a Rawlings Pro-2HFB model glove with 4 dots (manufactured in 1999). I was able to recently add this to my collection. Damon was traded away after the 2000 season to Oakland. In the 1999-2000 period Damon used a black Rawlings glove with his name embroidered in yellow/gold. In his time in Boston starting in 2002, the embroidery color started to be red. Definite use shown in the pocket.

Carlos Beltran 2003-04 Game Glove
(previously posted in the Beltran thread )

Rawlings model Pro601KBSO with BEEA (10-03) date code, ID NO 07. 2004 was Beltran's last year with the Royals. Beltran used to wear Rawlings until he switched over to Wilson when he was with the Mets in 2005. Beltran was wearing a Rawlings glove as late as Spring Training of 2005. This glove has some definite wear in the web as well as on the hand/wrist opening as seen in the pictures. The glove has Beltran's Puerto Rico flag on it as well as his name in script. Beltran is a 3 time gold glove winner.

The glove is stylematched to Beltran climbing the wall in KC to steal a HR and Spring Training 2004 with the same model. In 2004 Beltran mainly rotated between this model and a grey version of the same model. In the All Star game he was using the black/brown style.

What could have been had they been able to keep that outfield together.

Love what you did with the shadowbox. I made one with a hanger I would not use again... I'm in the process of building another and need an idea on a different hanger system. Would you send me some pictures to my email and show me what you did on yours? Looks very nice...

Picked up these Danny Duffy throwback pants. I also was given one from the pair of cleats that Duffy gave to my friend SungWoo. I know pants aren't real collectible but they will be used for a greater purpose. SungWoo has the other cleat in Korea. You can see the hashtag that Duffy wrote on the toe. It's kind of like a friendship necklace for guys. Lol.
