Snagged my first baseball since June on Thursday night, a James Shields bullpen warm-up ball. That makes the career total 1711.

Been obtaining a lot lately but haven't had time to post. This is my latest grab. Chance Sisco 2016 Rookie Spring Training jersey. He was the Orioles Brooks Robinson MiLB player of the year and also hit a homer in the Futures Game. He's probably the top catching prospect in the game.

Picked up this Daniel Murphy LVS gamer on MLB auctions in July and just got it signed recently.

Photo matched the bat to Daniel Murphy hitting a total of 5 home run's, all HR's were hit against his former team the NY Mets. The barrel is just pounded with game use and the bat was cracked on July 17 by a pitch thrown by closer Mark Melancon who was pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates and now is teammates with Murphy on the Washington Nationals.

Thanks,
Bobby

Carl Yastrzemski and Felix Mantilla bats. The uncracked Yaz can be pegged to 1965 because of the labeling and rare W166 model for him. I'm guessing the cracked Mantilla is from the same year as they came from the same lot in a non-sports auction. Probably my biggest score to date, but I'm a White Sox fan. Why couldn't the lot have included bats of Minnie Minoso and Dick Allen?
