Picked up this 1927-30 Babe Ruth Hanna Batrite gamer. 36" and 42oz (Ruthian size!) Very happy to pick it up.

You're really stepping up your collection!

Congrats! It's a beauty.

Haven't posted in a while, but I've picked up the following jerseys over the past couple of months. Call me crazy, but I'm still trying to keep up with all the special event jerseys. I still need a Cardinals 4th of July jersey and they will soon be wearing TBTC jerseys from 1956 (July 23) and 1927 (August 27).

Kolten Wong 1984 TBTC (2016)
Trevor Rosenthal Memorial Day (2016)
Kevin Siegrist Mother's Day Cap and Jersey (2016)
Jedd Gyorko Father's Day Jersey (2016)
Austin Gomber Spring Training (2016)
Curt Ford (1987 World Series)
Joe Torre (1992)

Just got in a Mark Salas 2016 Mother's Day GU White Sox cap. This time, I didn't get it directly from Salas, but instead from an eBay seller who claimed that his father had that and a 2016ST Salas GU jersey given to him by the Chief. I wonder if Salas knows that his gifts ended up on eBay for resale? That's never the case when he gives me stuff directly.

2016 game used Father's Day Jersey

[TBM]

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.
