Flaco - I'd love to see some pictures of your 1984 Hoover.

Re: team USA gamers and Hunt auctions

thank you very much> Any idea what year and with lag of tagging, any opinion of its authenticity??

With the lack of year tagging on the Team USA jerseys/pants, I thought to go to the Team USA website, where there is a historical roster of every member who ever played for the team and the year(s) in which they played. For guys that were on the team for 1 year, it is pretty easy to deduce the year in which the uniforms were used.

I've been eagerly awaiting the Team USA uniforms/helmets I won the auctions for awhile back, along with the 2002 Bob Brenly ASG coach's jersey, and UPS tried to deliver them last night and I wasn't home. Doh! I'll be camped out by the door tonight, for sure.

Most of these dated around 2001-02.

Hey Russ. I've been searching high and low for a picture of Billy Butler, 2003 18U team. Specifically wearing this jersey. I showed it to him at Royals Fan Fest this year and he confirmed it was his. Problem is I want a picture to display with it and have had no luck. If you have anything that would help, I would be very appreciative. Thanks. Incidentally, I have been able to locate one pick with this style and patches, but it was a red rather than blue jersey.

USA baseball is one of the main focuse of my collection. Rosters & photos are hard to come by and I have complied yearbooks and programs as often as possible. USA Baseball has some info available at the links below.

CampWest - Photos for the junior national teams are almost non-existent. I've never seen a program or press guide for these teams (18-u, 16-u, etc.) I'm sure they exist but most likely in small quantities. My guess would be that Team USA and/or their official photographer may be the only source for these.

Thanks for sharing, believe it or not I have never seen one for sale with the Richard Case memorial patch and do not have one in my collection. Let me know if you know of any on the market.

Does anyone on this board happen to know where the Doug Mientkiewicz 2000 Sydney USA Olympics jersey happens to be?

Thanks!

Re: team USA gamers and Hunt auctions

Wow, that is interesting. I will let you know if I see any. From what I heard from the guy I bought this from, Butler has his red jersey from that year and was unable to keep the blue for some reason. As I recall, that year for whatever reason they actually let the players keep some of their gear, so perhaps that is why there is so little on the market with the Case patch. Incidentally, my initials are also RWC...

Re: team USA gamers and Hunt auctions

Also, thanks for the tip on the official photographer... I'll try to send them a request. I sent a request to Billy, thinking his family might have some photos but have not received a response so far.
