Great Bruce Hurst jersey! I like it. I used to have his 82, 86, and 87 Sox jerseys. Wish I would have kept them.

Re: May pick-ups

Astros are finally selling game used jerseys so I picked these three up today. All came with COA's from the Astros.
1.Game used 2001 Jim Mann Astros Black Home Alt with the 40th anniversary patch.
2.Game used 2001 Scott Servais Black Road alt with the Flag patch. They wore this jersey when they clinched the central division in a game in St. Louis.
3.Game used 2001 Ricky Stone Home White Star Alt. with 40th Anniversary patch and Flag patch.

Nice jerseys! Do you have to go down to the Astros store to buy them? or what's the procedure on purchasing jersys from the club?

Re: May pick-ups

I just picked up these two bats for my Brewers collection. The first bat is JJ Hardy's first game used maple bat. The bat is un-cracked and shows game use, the bat is from the 2002 season when he played for the Huntsville Stars. The other bat is a Mat Gamel craked bat from this year. Mat was just called up to the Brewers this week from the Nashville Sounds.

Got a great 2000 Toronto Blue Jays Marty Cordova bat from GUU's Steve. It's a rare brown SAM Rideau Crusher. It's now my favorite Cordova bat I own. There is no paper label or writing on the knob and in the cup is written:

34.5"
32.1 oz

Re: May pick-ups

Here's something you don't see on this forum. This is a game used cricket bat. Used by former Australian opening batsman GEOFF MARSH.

Cricket bats are quite rare, as a player would usually only use one or two per season. They are made to last, and rarely crack.

This bat shows both red and white ball marks. Red balls used during day games, white balls used in day/night games.

Notice the fiberglass tape on the bat. This is allowed on bats in cricket, and merely prevents any further damage to a favored bat.

The rubber handle grip is lost to time.

Bat dates to around 1990-92 based on the design.

I'm sure alot of you are thinking "what the @$?!"

Those are awesome. I havent played cricket in a very long time.
