Gamers with Date Specific Inscription

[skier14]

Again, if I saw a Sabathia Nike Glove with the inscription the “Game used Opening Day 2009” the inscription, I would not have a problem with it.

If you look up on ebay keywords opening day yankees 2009 and click "enter", you get a majority of items referring to the game held on April 16 for sale.

I own a game used baseball that commemorates the opening day at Safeco Field held on July 15, 1999. First game ever at new Yankee Stadium was referred to as opening day by announcers, reports, and Yankee fans. It has to do with being the first game of the season at that stadium. Thats my understanding.

Of course you get that, as it was "Opening Day" for The Stadium. Opening day, generally, refers to opening day of the baseball regular season.

The words opening day, usually mean the first game for a team for a season.

Make up your mind. You said "This has nothing to do with the opening of a new stadium". Now you say it does.

They use Opening day bases in home openers, so that's kind of confusing.

Well here is a list of opening days for the Yankees. It seems there is one every year.

My mind is made up. Opening Day for Yankee Stadium is different than Opening Day.

Here is a list of Yankees opening day pitchers (notice not all at home)

I am glad you see the difference and the broad use of the word "Opening Day" by people.

since you are very strict in your interpretation, i am surprised you did not correct me and say that its actually the inaugural game at yankee stadium.

the term opening day has been used loosely to mean home opener, opening day (in your strictest sense), and inaugural game by reporters, announcers, writers, and fans. thats all i am saying. and if a player wants to use the term opening day outside of the strictest sense of the word for an inscription, i would not hold it against the item and would consider the item. i am done with this thread.

I find it amazing how much pent up energy is released on this forum sometime.

Back to the actual topic rather than a philosophical debate... The good news is the glove appears to be legit!

this is my only date specific instruction: Game Used 11-4-05
