my 2008 GU Hanley Ramirez bat came in today..simply amazing in person..ball marks, pine tar, cracked at the handle. This was used on Aug 12, 2008 against the Cardinals..In the game Hanley hit his 26th HR of the season and 72nd of his Career, so theres a good chance this was the bat that was used for that. Overall im very happy to have this in my collection as my first GU bat of one of my favorite players.

Chipper Jones 2009 Rawlings bat w/ Team LOA. The bat is pounded with use, it was broken in two and repaired. One of the most hammered Chipper bat's I have seen!

Got back from Spring Training last night. Was watching practice when Dusty Ryan (Padres) broke a bat....asked him for it and he had no problem giving it to me and signing it.

Then went to the game where I finally got Jim Edmonds to sign my GU Padres jersey.

Is that the same bat from that cheap bat list the Braves sent out awhile back? Sucks that it's repaired though. I think I remember when that bat was broken. Chipper RARELY breaks his bats, and the only time I recall him breaking his bat in 2009 was in one of the last home series' at Turner Field.

Not game used but I finally found a 1919 White Sox replica full uniform.

Not game-used either but I thought it makes for a neat little story and I don't hang out in the autograph forum too often:

I moved to Cleveland about 2 months ago for a new job as the Director of Corporate Sales with the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena Football League. On Thursday I got to hang out some with Bernie Kosar who is essentially the face of the franchise and a big part of revitalizing the AFL in Cleveland.

In anticipation of meeting Bernie, I picked up a Sports Illustrated from 1985 and had it signed... a very nice authentic man! Bernie told me he "missed those days."
