Thanks a lot. I think he was abandoned by his father after he was born or something like that and his mother raised him on her own.

Re: July Pick Ups

I'm not a Milton Bradley fan by any means (I do think he is a good guy, just has issues), but that message on the bat made me buy it. He did a similar thing with his Ranger's bat as well. Do you know the story between he and his mom?

Milton Bradley: ‘What Have I Done Now?’
By Milton Bradley

Milton Bradley, the Texas Rangers’ designated hitter, was named to his first All-Star team and will play for the American League at Yankee Stadium next week. He will contribute occasional items to the New York Times’s Bats blog about his All-Star experience. This is his first post.
Milton BradleyMilton Bradley, who hit a two-run homer against the Yankees last week, will return to Yankee Stadium as an All Star on July 15. (Barton Silverman/The New York Times)

At about 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, I was in the clubhouse in Baltimore in the middle of a domino game with Eddie Guardado, Gary Pettis, and Eric Hurley. Ron Washington was standing over my shoulder talking trash like he always does and had everybody laughing hysterically when he asked me to come see him in his office for a minute.

I dropped everything and headed to his office wondering: “What have I done now?”

He gave me the news and a congratulatory hug, with a smile, but told me to keep the news quiet until it was officially announced. I went back to the domino game like nothing happened but Eddie being the wise vet already knew what’s up. He just smiled and gave me dap on making my first All-Star team.

Besides the birth of my son, I don’t think I’ve had a prouder moment in my life. The embrace with Wash was a special one. It felt like a father-son moment to me. In 30 years, I’ve never really had one of those so I can only imagine that’s what it must feel like.

As a 16-year-old sophomore at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California, I could only dream there would be days like that one. I knew I wanted to be a major leaguer. Following in the footsteps of the great Tony Gwynn (Poly’s most esteemed baseball alumnus) I feel like I’ve finally arrived. Taking the field in the Big Apple for the final year of historic Yankee Stadium, where so many greats have stood before me, I am humbled. This is why Jackie Robinson endured unspeakable hate and prejudice. So I — some 60 odd years later — have the opportunity to play this great game of baseball. So I can stand up and be recognized. So I can be proud to be who I am. So I can be proud to be an American.

Last September, I was being peeled up off the dirt in San Diego with a torn ACL. I was completely written off by the baseball world. I was barely given a chance to be ready to play by the All-Star break, let alone be a part of the annual celebration. But my hard head refused to listen to the nay-sayers. “I’ll be ready for opening day,” I arrogantly proclaimed last December before I was even able to jog.

But that’s where my mother Charlena Rector comes into play. Well actually, she’s been a part of things since day one. She kept me in school every single day (perfect attendance my whole life), in church every Sunday and she guided me through the trials and tribulations of this crazy career I’ve chosen. “God is able,” she always says. And my faith in God never allowed me to waver from His perfect plan. I haven’t necessarily taken the most direct route, but I made it.

Re: July Pick Ups

I've been busy buying some footballs - Colts, Bears, Eagles, Cowboys, Texans, Rams and Broncos. The balls range from 2006 through 2008. I've also managed to get some rare 2008 "Kickoff" footballs.

Although not shown, I got two authentic "Arenabowl" footballs. One from last year (last season for the AFL) and one from Arenabowl XX.
