Great Xander pickups... But what is the blue alt tagged as? I don't think the Sox wore them at all during the postseason.

MLB authenticated for the regular-season. Tagged for the postseason where he was called up late he only had one set of alternate jerseys.

2005 Edgerrin James Colts Road Jersey - Colts LOA (Game Exclusives) - Worn against the NE Patriots on November 7, 2005 - Edge ran for 104 yds and a TD in the game and caught 3 passes for 9 yards - Last season Edge played for the Colts - Jersey has been laundered but there is a distinctive red/pink field paint mark on the right shoulder.

2004 Clinton Portis Washington Road Jersey - Worn against the CLE Browns on October 3, 2004 - Portis had a TD in the game - Portis' first season in Washington - Jersey is unlaundered and filthy with use (sorry for the poor quality of pics) - Numerous ways to photomatch it but the two dirt dots on the left shoulder are pretty distinctive.

Picked up a Jose Fernandez game used Strike out baseball from his rookie season. He used this baseball to strike out Tulo on July 23, 2013. He also beat them that game. Ball is from MLB and he signed it too. I'll have to do some research and see what career K number it was for Jose.

Murray Wall 1957 Boston Red Sox game worn home jersey. Murray pitched for the Sox in 57 and 58. Had a solid year for them in 1958. Jersey is all original and came from the Johnny Pesky auction in Fenway. Murray committed suicide not too long after his career while living in Texas. Here it is.

Picked up a 1973-75 H&B Fred Kendall bat. Big Thank You to Tim at Hall of Fame Bats!

Appreciate the fact he actually took the time and found a bat off my want list sent to him over a year ago.

First Game of the Year, First Ball of the Year:

A line shot down the 3B line that ricocheted off the wall about 10 feet in front of me. Such baseballs are always a tough play since you can never predict just where the rebound is going to go. I stuck my mitt out and gloved it, but lost my balance and dropped it. I did get the ball thanks to a Cubs player who saw my valiant attempt to secure it. Kudos to him, but FIE on the nearby security guard, who refused to help me, although giving away a similar foul ball to another fan some 15 minutes later (apparently I wasn't young enough nor hot enough to be worthy of his time). And, yes, the ball is a Wrigley Field 100th Anniversary logo ball.

Picked up my first batting gloves of the season from some Nationals players. I believe that they were all worn on 4/11/14.
