'38-'39 Jimmie Foxx GU bat:

(MVP/Batting Title Year and MVP Runner Up Year)

This is my favorite pick up of late, a bat with great use, clear stampings and a really nice patina.
"The Beast" played in the shadow of Ruth and Gehrig in the AL to some extent, though putting up massive numbers, especially in this 10+ year run he had with the Philadelphia A's and then in Boston. He used this bat with the Red Sox in back-to-back incredible seasons, without a ton of protection in '38 especially.
In 1938, he won MVP, hitting .349 with 50 Home Runs and 175 RBIs, winning the batting title and leading the league in RBIs. (but not in HRs?) He also led the league in each slash line category - .462 OBP/.704 Slugging %/1.166 OPS.
In 1939, he finished 2nd in the MVP voting, though playing only 124 games, batting .360, leading league with 35 Home Runs, knocked in 105 runs. He again led the league in On Base % at .464/ Slugging % .694/ OPS of 1.158.
A big thank you to my frend for connecting me on the deal and the owner for allowing me to pick up this fantastic bat.

Nice Foxx bat.

Here is my GU RW#3 sideline cap from the rams game this year.

[Preston]

A couple new items and a couple "newly signed" items...

Doran Grant signed, pregame worn sneakers (worn pregame for national championship game)

Jeff Garcia signed, game worn sideline hat (Rams v. Titans preseason 2015)

Jerrell Freeman signed, game worn 2008 preseason jersey

Tim Shaw signed, game worn 2011 jersey, 2010 practice worn jersey

[Jim65]

My latest pick up, Mookie Wilson 2001 9/11 jersey

[joelsabi]

Some of you may recall last month that I showed the jersey's that the NYPL Aberdeen Ironbirds were wearing on 09/02 to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr. surpassing Lou Gehrig for the most consecutive games played.

They held a silent auction during the game for the jerseys worn that evening and I targeted the jersey of hitting coach Calvin Pickering, because he was the only person in uniform who actually was a teammate of Cal Ripken. Not to mention at size 54, this is easily the largest jersey I own.

After washing them and having Cal sign them all, it finally arrived yesterday:

Thats a great add to you wonderful collection,Bill. Always a pleasure seeing your collection grow.

Another classic Ben. Previous owner knew it was going to a good home I bet.
