July 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

A surprise from the wife. She'd been asking how observant I was. This has been hanging in my basement for a week. She removed another white jersey and put this in its place. MLB authenticated to April 29, 2014. Been an Alex Gordon fan since his AA days in Wichita.

I wish my wife...heck, ANYONE in my family, would think of gifting me with something game used at Xmas or my Birthday. It's a lost cause, though...many years ago when I needed a new mitt for ballhawking, I couldn't get anyone to even team up with someone on gifting me with a new mitt, I am SOOOOO jealous of the guys and gals on the Forum whose spouses actually think of them in this manner on a special occasion.

Nice Musial Ben!

Ben,

That Rookie Musial bat is a thing of beauty, congrats!

A Musial rookie gamer. For anyone's game-used Cardinals bat collection, I don't think it can get any better than that.

Ben, LOVE the Musial. Please email me the specs so I can compare it with my rookie-era bat. I had the chance a few years ago to take mine inside the H&B vault and compare it with Stan's vault bats. Wouldn't it be something if our bats were from the same order? Jeff

At last night's game, I picked up this 2013 Yadier Molina postseason alternate jersey at the Cardinals Care auction kiosk. Shows good wear with pilling on the right front shoulder and on the back under his name where the straps rub.
