Re: July 2016 pickups

I attended an Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals AAA team) game on July 16, 2016. It was a jersey off their backs auction night. The Storm Chasers wore special Mossy Oak Camouflage jerseys to celebrate country night with proceeds benefiting The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF).

I walked away with one awesome jersey. I won Royals #1 overall prospect Raul Mondesi's game used jersey. He is also the only person in the history of the MLB to make their first MLB appearance in the World Series.

Raul was suspended 50 games for taking cough syrup loaded with PEDs. At the time he was playing in AA. Shortly after he returned to play he was promoted to AAA. This jersey was from his 6th AAA game. I believe that this is also the very first, and at this point only, Raul Mondesi AAA jersey that has hit the market.

In this game Raul went 1 - 2, including a sac bunt and a walk. He hit his first AAA double (fourth overall AAA hit) and scored one run (his second overall AAA run). He would also strike out for the 10th time.

The jersey has some good dirt on the front but is hard to see because of the camo coloring. The jersey is also unique as far as I see. I know Mossy Oak is supposed to have random patterns on their items but as I look at the pic with the players sitting in the dugout, I see the left sleeve looks very similar if not exactly the same on 6 of the 7 players where the sleeve is visible. The one difference is Mondesi's jersey. Raul also signed his name on the number 7. I think Raul started with the number 37 his first couple games in AAA but need to verify that. His usual number 27 has been manager Brian Poldberg’s number so he has settled for #17 at this time.

The best thing of all was my son was incredibly happy and excited. This made his day.

Picked up my first Kris Bryant game used item, one of his 3 singles from July 10th. Not really my main focus but had to pick it up given the opportunity.

Excited to add this one to the collection- 2015 Chase Utley GU Postseason jersey. This is the takeout slide jersey when he broke Tejada's leg and MLB came up with the Utley Rule. Can't wait to get it signed with a great inscription!

Re: July 2016 pickups

It has been a while since I was able to post in pickups. Here are my pick ups for July. The baseballs on the left in cubes are all authenticated used baseballs from July. The baseball on the right in the cube is a Giancarlo Stanton Final Round Home Run (4th HR of the Final Round) I got in person during the Home Run Derby this year. The ones not in cubes were caught by me during All Star Week events BP.

Re: July 2016 pickups

Ian Kinsler HR match. I'm certain he used this bat to hit a 1st inning HR the day before as well, but it was a brand new bat with no marks to match. I have matched it to subsequent AB's in that game. Thanks again to Rich for the photomatch!
