I am a Mets fan and I am not associated in any way with the Tigers. But I am amazed how organized and accessable the Tigers are in promoting their game used items(Most affordable,not all). I once reached out to them for a Andy Van Slyke G/U coaches jersey and ever since then I've received e-mails informing me of items available and soon to be available. During the season contact is almost every other day. This last e-mail prompted me to post this thread. Today,among other things offered, is a ball pitched by Greinke on 7/8/09 in the 5th inning and fouled off by Inge. Amazing. Who's assigned to catch these?
Again I'm not associated with this but I sure wish other teams were as well organized and prices set affordably (Well,except the HR balls) as Marc Himelstein seems to do with the Tigers.
Todays e-mail offering:
