Can't wait til Christmas!!!!

[kylehess10]

My brother told me the other day that he bought me 2 things for Christmas that will make me go nuts! And he also told me that it's a different piece of equipment then what I have now. So today, a HUGE heavy box came in mail addressed to my brother and he told me last night the it was supposed to arrive today. I look at who it's from and it says STEINER SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even imagine what he got me. Is anybody else expecting game used for Christmas? My brother is the only person in my family who knows a little about it and knows where to get it.

Hi Kyle,

Maybe your brother got you the best gift ever, A-Rod from the 2006 playoffs? I've heard from some of the Yankee fans on here that he's been missing since around October 4th...and hasn't been seen since so he could be your Christmas present.

An okay gift if you ask me...really expensive...but only useful from April through September.

Other Yankees sold separately.

That's awesome! No one in my family knows anything about buying a game used item. ( nor would be able to afford a GU item!)

Kyle how big is this box?

Maybe we can all help you guess what it is.

I like Tim's guess. Since Arod couldn't hit himself out of a brown paper bag in October this large box will probably keep him from coming out till you open it on Christmas morning

The box is about 1 foot tall and 2 feet wide. It's not THAT big but it sure is bigger than what regular equipment would be in. My guess is that it's a base. It sure would be cool though to get A-Rod for Christmas, I'd send him to the Braves right away since the Braves GM doesn't like good players anymore and he just wants to trade them all away

Smart money says its a base complete with metal post. They are impressive to look at, but with the post seem very difficult to display

Are the metal posts in bases removeable?

WOW!! I was talking to my brother tonight and he told me that he bought my other present (not the one in the box) from someone who originally got it from a company called Coast To Coast Sports and that their original price was $1399!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never been this anxious before for anything!

I have a handful of Astros bases and the posts are removable. Just unscrew/unbolt the 12 screws/bolts and then the thin metal pieces come off. Then, just pull the wntire metal plate off. I remove the posts on a couple of mine to mount inside coffee tables in a sports remove, and then covered with glass. You can always put the plate back on at a future date if you like.

My Game Used Base is sitting on my floor in front of my display case.I don't know what else to do with it.I to would like to hear what you get for Christmas.Geoff

hey fellas, thought I'd add a few words. Purchased a GU base from the 2001 ALCS recently. No metal post on it; presumably removed by MLB or Safeco Field? Made by Hollywood bases. I'd post pictures, but my desktop crashed, so I'm on my son's laptop. This picture will have to do! Could that be the one?
