April pick-ups

Re: April pick-ups

Well, as far as Baez, he did play one game with the Aeros in 2001. I have no idea how long he was with the team, though. That might explain the 2001 patch.

As far as the Ramirez jersey, something I think I missed last time: isn't it suppose to have an Indians patch on the right sleeve? Perhaps someone can help me out, on that.

Re: April pick-ups

I actually bought an Aeros Danys Baez jersey from the same guy. It was the same year as the Manny jersey and it also had the anniversary patch on it as well. I have not yet found a photo of Danys with the patch. I've also picked up some Bisons jerseys of lesser known players all with team letters from the Bisons that look really good. The patch really does seem to be an issue though... Any more thoughts... I can't see doctoring a Baez jersey, Manny maybe, but not Baez...

Re: April pick-ups

In regards to the Manny jersey...I have season tickets for the aeros so I tried to go back through my programs and pics to help you out. From what I've gathered Manny played only one game for the Aeros in 2000 and spent about a week with them in mid June 2000 before going up to buffalo. I doubt he traveled with the team on road games and as the previous person mentioned the home jersey would have been the same as the one pictured on CC so it makes the story about him handing them the jersey after the game not really possible seeing how he played only once and it was at home. Being a big manny fan I'm sure I have some pics on him when he was at the park in 2000 so I'll see if I can find anything else to help you out any...just my 2cents

Re: April pick-ups

Bobby,

Here's what's left of my Agbayani collection. 2 bats, a 2000 WS hanky, and 2 packages of Benny Bean coffee!

At one point I had a complete 2000 home white jersey and pants and game used helmet, a couple of other game used bat. Ron S. is the proud owner of my 1998 Agbayani game used home pinstripe AIS jersey with Benny's rookie no 39!

David,

Nice items! Thanks for sharing the photo!

I forgot to mention that the gentlemen I got the Benny Agbayani bat from said Agbayai gave him the bat after getting to know him when he was a B.P pitcher for the Atlanta Braves.

Thanks, Bobby

Bobby,

Nice Agbayani pick-up! Good to know it went to a good home. I'm sure that David has some nice Benny items, too. I have my jerseys here at home, but the bats are in storage.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

Re: April pick-ups

Went to the Orange and Blue game at UF yesterday. As usual they had a bunch of game jerseys for sale. This year they bumped up the price from $20 to $50. I bought a bunch and will have them on Ebay over the next couple of weeks. I'll probably keep a couple. One I'm definitely keeping is this Todd Johnson jersey. Todd was a great safety for the Gators and then went to the Bears and now the Rams. I just picked up his Rams jersey from Jim Yackel a while back.

Re: April pick-ups

Well, I almost got a baseball signed by the Babe's daughter, Julia Ruth Stevens, yesterday. I was going to do it in the seventh inning, but she left before that and didn't come back. They showed her on the big screen, and of course the crowd gave her a big ovation, and she seemed very happy. She looks really good for her age, too. (Julia is his adopted daughter; I guess his only biological child died in 1989.)

I could have displayed it with my Pete Rose Junior bat and my Mel Stottlemyre Junior jersey.

Re: April pick-ups

Just picked up some vintage items.

-Riddell RK 4 helmet (Red w/white stripe. 83 on back and "BK" written on the inside);
-Rawlings yellow/gold football pants (BECK handwritten inside);
-one-bar facemask (No identifiers on the mask);
-hip-pad girdle (Bill Beck handwritten on the inside);
-Duke football - "Thorp Sporting Goods" football but too beat-up to see what commissioner appeared on the ball.

Re: April pick-ups

Bobby,

Nice Benny bat. This bat is from the later part of 2000. The blacken MLB emblem started at that time. This is NOT a 1999 bat.

You have a nice gamer from the WS year.

Enjoy the bat!

Re: April pick-ups

Just got this in today. Benny Agbayani Mets bat with some deep lace marks and nice ballmarks. Metsbats and Ron, is this bat from the 1999 season? Anyone have photos of Benny with this type of bat?

Thanks, Bobby
