Nice Sammy Sosa bat! What year is that one from? I see the inscription - is that the bat he used for it?

Sosa is from the Rangers after he hit 600HR - think he had about 603HR when I got it. I was at the 600HR game with my folks though so really enjoy having this bat!

Re: April Pick ups.....

Here are a couple of bats I had autographed at fanfest. Picked up the Matsui BP jersey from the silent auction. He didn't play in the Saturday exhibition, but it was also worn through out the spring.

Wish I had a Matsui like that!!! Awesome pick up!!!

A game helmet from the mid 70s worn by Walt Downing, All American center for the University of Michigan in 1977.
The helmet has Walt's auto as well as Coach Schembechler's auto.

BEST MAIL DAY EVER! Bonus - Photomatching NIGHTMARES!

Today I received a 1995 Bill Spiers Mets road gamer in a trade with TNTtoys. I traded him my 87 Mets "Playoff" issued Tim Teufel to go along with his others from the 87PO sets. I was thrilled to get a Spiers jersey and trading an issued for a worn was a no-brainer to me (especially since Spiers was also the starting punter for the 86 Gator Bowl Champion, Clemson Tigers).




I was able to add this supremely rare (in the realm of Clemson collectors) KC Chiefs jersey from the 1979-82 range to my collection from Hunt Auctions. It has hit marks, holes, vintage team repairs, etc. Screened numbers with sewn on nameplate. It is of WR Stan Rome. Rome has ZERO trading cards, program covers, etc so this was a must have for me. FYI, Rome was 12th round pick of the Chiefs in 79 (probably because their 1st round pick was Rome's college QB, Steve Fuller). He was also a 4th round pick of the Cleveland Cavs that same year. He had one career TD (1981 vs the Vikes in the season finale), and it was from Fuller, which I THINK was the only TD from a Clemson QB to a Clemson WR in NFL history.

Re: April Pick ups.....

And I'm happy with this trade as well. Teufel was one 1987 player I was missing in my mini-collection of 87 roads, and I was more than happy to have a playoff issued jersey than a "hole in my collection."

Not to mention that the Bill Spiers jersey meant far more to Sam than it did to me... so it was a win/win for everyone.

Course, my lazy self had no chance to photograph it (or anything I picked up these past couple of months). Thankfully Sam had some photos of the jersey already

Re: April Pick ups.....

Not a new bat...but, Justin was kind enough to sign and inscribe it for me. I found out that his first MLB hit was with a Zinger. I got all excited b/c he was looking it up and down. But, he said this one couldn't be it b/c it was a maple. This one was used in 2003 while he was in Rochester. I even have a photo of him using the same style bat in his Rochester uniform. He is the nicest guy. For any of you that are a fan, he is worth every penny you spend on your collection.

Re: April Pick ups.....

Picked up thiswell used Mel Stottlemyer jersey at Safeco last night. He is a great guy and was a hell of a pitcher in his day with over 40 shutouts, 3 20 plus win seasons and a lifetime era under 3 spaaning 11 years...not to mention the picthing coach for the Yankees last 4 world championships.
Cheers,

Great bat, Justin really is a nice guy. Met him last week in Chicago where he signed before the game and chatted it up with the fans.
