I just added two more Bobby Jenks game used jerseys to the collection.
2002 Travelers and a 2002 Quakes jersey. Both jerseys signed with real good use.
gruber did indeed attend spring training with the orioles in '97:
how did mears or you figure out that the orioles wore their game jerseys in spring training and not their BP shirts as most teams do?:
there are several photos of the orioles playing in ST games in '97 on getty and in all of them they're wearing their BP shirts.
rudy.
The only time I can recall the Orioles of the 1990s wearing conventional ROAD jerseys during Spring Training was the game in Cuba in 1999. They've only been wearing home jerseys for Spring Training games for the last couple of seasons.
..Finally, after re-reading the Mears letter more closely, I think this may be the very last MLB jersey Kelly Gruber ever wore. It's from 1997 Spring Training and the patches alone were a major sell job. Since I'll never afford a Blue Jays version, this was a pickup that made me happy.

Once Mastro packages them, here are my pieces. I was stoked when my beloved Canucks finally got a Basketball team to share a building with but somehow Basketball just didn't work in the Pacific Northwest. I was looking for a cheap Grizz jersey that said Vancouver and this Alternate fit the bill!
Those of you that have read about why I am a huge Shawn Camp Fan will know why this jersey for $50 was a must have:

I just picked these items up today. The bat is a un-cracked Angel Salome signed game used bat from 2008 season and one of his nameplates from his locker. The jerseys are all from Carlos Villanueva when he was in the minor leagues. They are 2005 Brevard County Manatees, 2006 Huntsville Stars, and a 2007 Nasville Sounds jersey. All the jerseys are signed by Carlos.
Here are my new bats: Tony Fernandez, Edgar Martinez, Franklin Gutierrez. I finally got the Edgar!
I've been working hard to try and photomatch the Gutierrez, he stopped using that tape job in July 2007 and it has some marks that should make it easy to match. I've went through Getty, AP, US Presswire, Flickr, Icon Sports Media, and MLB.com Any other websites I should try?? Also, is there a way I can see the mlb.tv archive from 2007?
Nice Polanco. I have always liked his approach to the game.
I was a big fan of his line-drive hitting style when he was here. he ended up being one of the better hitters in the game right now. When we traded him for Rolen, I was pretty happy - as I was a Rolen fan...but in retrospect, I think having Polanco for 5 more years instead might have been a better value - and he probably would have been a fan favorite.
I've been looking for a good one for several years - and the only other one I considered was at Left Field Collectibles. That one had a chunk out of the handle, and was a little pricey.
