I just picked this up today a 1981 Dick Ruthven Phillies jersey

On the far right, it appears to have stitch marks above the existing zig-zag stitching/thread holding the plate on, a possible sign that the nameplate has been re-sewn or restored. Can you update your post with a photo of the name plate?

Thanks for the information and offer. I'm only seeking all original jerseys from specific years/players with a focus on 1976, 1980 and 1983.

Thanks again,

Re: June Pickups

Our family went to our local minor league park, yesterday. It was a great day at the ol' ballpark. My son took a bat that was given to him at our last game. The player (Matt Arburr) hit a regular home run and then came up the next time to hit a go-ahead inside the park homer. After the game, he gave the bat to my son. We didn't have anything for him to sign with, that day. So we took it yesterday to see if he would sign. In addition, one of the visiting players had promised to give him a bat, as well. So we knew it could be a fun day.

We showed up early so that he could get autographs. It was great, because we were able to get autographs from Matt Arburr, Ben Revere, Pete Kozma, Chris Cates, and Loek Van Mil. Anyway, we were standing around and someone came up and started talking about someone in the other dugout. It turns out Paul Molitor showed up unannounced. We ran over and had him sign both of those bats, and even got him to pose for a picture with my son.

Another great thing was watching Ben Revere take BP. He was in the cage, got his hacks in, and stepped out. When he did, he began to yell to the catcher. He was asking him if he had any tape. Ben found some in the catcher's bag, and began to tape up his bat. . .then he stepped back in to take his hacks. After he came out for the final time, he began talking and laughing with another player. They looked like they were talking bad about Ben's bat. Then we watched them walk over to the steps of the dugout, lay the bat down, and jump up and down on it until it snapped. We wanted to get his autograph, so we called him over. It looked like he was looking for a trash can for the bat. Once I saw that, I quickly asked if he was going to throw it away. He was!!!!! I asked if we could have it, and he kindly agreed. We were able to get him to sign it and take a photo with my son and he.

Can't say I've had too many better days at the ballpark. Here are some of the photos of the bats. Chris Cates puts "CC" on his bat. What is kind of funny, he (or someone else) has made the "CC" appear like something else.

Re: June Pickups

Here is one of my recent pickups, a Ron Gant 1993 Braves home jersey. I have been looking for a Braves jersey from when I was in college in ATL, and this one just fits. Still on the lookout for a road jersey from 1990 or maybe 91.

Re: June Pickups

Picked this up in the M's auction. M's wore a special "Marineros" uniform to honor the past great Latin American players, Jeremy Reed hit a homerun in the 8th off Lopez wearing this jersey. The Ms actually won this one

(M's 5 vs. Detroit 0).
I'am picking up from Raul Ibanez Wednesday night a personalized game used 1977 TBTC jersey Wednesday night, I will post images later with why I get it personalized (clue: it has to do with him and CFF).
Cheers,
Ty
