February pickups
The "recent pickups" thread is getting a little long. I thought it might be a good idea to start a new one each month.
Yesterday I bought a game used ball from the Twins/Dodgers game on 6/27/2006. I wanted it because Fransisco Liriano got the win. What I didn't realize is Joe Mauer went 5 for 5 in that game. It is the only game he has ever gone 5 for 5. Certainly was a nice pickup being that he was the AL Batting Champ for the year.
I don't have pics of the ball but it is hammered with use and shows two distinct spots where the ball skipped off the infield dirt.
I found the game summary on MLB.com and there is a highlight video of both Liriano striking out 8 and Mauer getting his 5 hits.
