Re: May pick-ups

I have two of the Carolina Clubs with the 9/11 flag. Nice collection!

Thanks a lot! You got some nice new pick ups yourself!

I just noticed the Emil Brown bat I bought was Pirates bat. Oh well, no big deal.....

Re: May pick-ups

I've gotten so many great bats on GUU this month! Thanks guys, for all the great bats and great deals! My "favorite of the month" keeps changing but I have narrowed it down to three exceptional ones:

Rare Marty Cordova 2002 brown SAM bat. I can go years and not find a Cordova bat I haven't seen!

Mike Pazik Twins pitcher's bat. A beauty! Here's what Mike Specht said about it: "Congrats Helen-- you may own one of the most obscure bats on the forum." The color is brown to almost black (not as light as in photo) so first Hickory finish bat I have owned.

And a Bob Hegman bat. Played in only one major league game. Born in Minnesota!

Re: May pick-ups

The first and only times I saw them used at the Dome with the flag was right after 9/11 and thru the rest of the year.

Re: May pick-ups

Thats cool.

It is, isn't it? I've been checking out those signs since 1998, wondering whether I'd ever have an opportunity to own one. Now I'll be picking this one up tomorrow morning. They're pretty good-sized, and metal. They sell smaller, plastic replicas in the Team Shop, but the real thing is a whole lot better.

Has anyone seen a Carolina Clubs with the American Flag on it???

I've got a Matt Williams CC w/the flag. I asked Matty if he remembered what year he used it, whether it was 2001, and he said he didn't think it was, but he couldn't say for sure. Does anyone know for sure whether the flag was just put on for a specified time - and, if so, when that was?

Re: May pick-ups

Picked up my first World Series bat a 2008 Willy Aybar.

Also won my fourth Devil Rays pitchers bat, a 2008 Edwin Jackson.

In over 4 years of serious collecting I only bought two pitchers bat, now I have bought two in the last two months...

Being a Devil Rays bat collector, prior to 2008 it would have been impossible to add a World Series bat to my collection. Never say never......

Here are the pics. plus some other new bats.

Re: May pick-ups

One of the ground-level signs they replaced at Chase Field when they changed the team colors a couple of years ago. (Note the Braille version near the bottom...no doubt warning the vision-impaired to "watch out".)

Thats cool.

Re: May pick-ups

thanks bobby

also got another bat today... one I am really excited about...

1935-1936 Woodley Abernathy bat...sidewriting "Horace Partidge Co. 3-27-36"

Abernathy was a International League player in Baltimore in 1935 he hit 31 HRs and 1936 he was the HR champ of the league with 42... over 13 minor league seasons he hit .315 with 210 home runs

Re: May pick-ups

Just a few Yankees items that I picked up:

From the Old House, game used lineup card from Tigers at Yankees game on May 1st 08. Very pleased with this one, as it was from one of the games I attended last year



Now to the new Stadium, game worn Rob Thomson road jersey worn through out the opening series on the road, Baltimore to Tampa.





And from the Opening Day against Cleveland, game worn Rob Thomson home jersey.








Gotta say special thanks to Brad at Shafran Collectibles for hooking me up with the lineup card and the home jersey!!
