Re: February Pick Ups!!

Got my two 2008 Frank Thomas Blue Jays jerseys in the mail yesterday, direct from the Jays and with MLB authentication. Both jerseys show use and according to the Blue Jays, they are two of only a few jerseys that got removed from their bags and actually used in games despite the Team Issued tagging by MLB. I believe the black jersey was used when he hit a grand slam and the baby blue was used in the April 14th game, as all the april 4th baby blue gamers where authenticated and put on a shelf to be sold later. The april 4th Thomas has/had "issues" so this is the only baby blue Thomas gamer to be sold.

It's funny how the #1 Jays fan in the universe is selling Tomb Raider video games and Wade in B'more is getting sweet Big Hurt Jays jerseys!

Baby blue is NICE!!!!

Picked up a Carlos Guillen 2008 Nokona directly from the Tigers. As always, Marc is great to deal with! It is the bottom bat in the first two pictures:

Re: February Pick Ups!!

Trevor Linden has been the heart and soul of the Vancouver Canucks for the last 20 years. He secretly donated thousands of hours of his time and energy and celebrity to those who were less fortunate then him. He didn;t ask for an ounce of recognition, he just felt it was his responsibility. Too humble to allow the Canucks to add a patch to their jerseys for his retirement ceremony this past December, he made the small concession of allowing a #16 patch to be added to the honorary guests shirts worn during the ceremony. Not the current color scheme mind you but a yellow red and white number to match the highlight of any Canucks career, the 1994 Skate Logo shirt they wore in the Stanley Cup Finals year. Only 10 were made. There will never be one made available to the public. So the only way to get a memorial #16 patch was to get one of these, when they were recently auctioned off.

Greg Adams is responsible for two of the most important goals in Canucks history. First he scored on a rebound from Trevor Linden against Felix Potvin and the Toronto Maple Leafs to send them to the Stanley Cup Finals that year. Then he received a great pass, again from Trevor, in OT of the first game of the Finals and buried it behind Mike Richter and the New York Rangers.

When you add these two things together, this was obviously a shirt I HAD to own. I can proudly say this jersey is in my collection but more so that the entire cost was donated to charity, as per Linden.

Roberto Alomar Blue Jays turf shoes - circa 1991. Big thanks to Rudy and Mike Specht.

I was able to track down a photo to match these shoes. From the Stephen Brunt book "Second to None" and from the Toronto Sun newspaper for a copy of the photo. It's easier to see in person, but the blue marks on white (the left shoe) and the hand drawn 1 on the right shoe.
