Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

Jason,
I saw so many of those guys come through Richmond that I feel the same way. I was excited by the Braves when they were winners, but my sentimental feelings are with those bad teams.

If you ever want to part with that Lonnie jersey, let me know. When he was making his comeback in Richmond I was totally in awe of him. He had been on 3 world series teams and then there he was in Richmond, have had a soft spot for him ever since, never owned a Braves jersey of his.

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

Great stuff Jason. I had forgotten that you had a Justice helmet, love that and the Lemke. The Rafael Ramierez brings back great memories of the Braves on TBS in the early 80's.

Is that a Lonnie Smith jersey under the Chipper helmet?

I'm going to try to get time to take a few pictures of my Gant Braves stuff today and put them on here.

Beautiful Gant jersey. Yep, that's the great Lonnie Smith's 1990 shirt. As special as all the post-1991 teams have been, my favorites will always be those many terrible ones that came before them. Lots of great memories watching Andres Thomas boot routine grounders and starting pitchers leave after 4 innings and manager after manager (Eddie Haas!) get the axe.

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

OK, just took a quick picture of my Ron Gant Braves display in my office: 1991 Home jersey, game used autographed hat, an early L/S bat and a 1991 Rawlings bat, some batting gloves, Phillies locker room plate and an A's game used helmet can all be seen in the picture.

Great display! You have to give us a list, who are all of the helmets?

Abe

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

Hot diggity, another Braves collector! Here's some of my stuff. The seats are probably my favorites. They're original (1966) and were in the house when Henry got 715.

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

Here is my only Braves items....Jair Jurrjens game used bat and Jersey from 2008. I actually became friends with JJ when he played for the West Michigan Whitecaps....The low A affiliate for Detroit a few years ago. My buddy and I drove down to Cincinnati for their series against the Braves and he met up with us after the game on Saturday and gave us each bats over the Dugout before Sunday's game....

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

Re: Show Me your Braves Items!

My collection is 75% Braves so here's just a few of my favorite pieces:


Mark Kotsay's jersey worn while hitting for the cycle on August 14th, 2008:














Casey Kotchman game used 2008 broken bat. The only reason why this bat is one of my favorites is because of the super slow-motion video match (below):










Martin Prado game "slammed" bat. Prado struck out and slammed this bat down on home plate so hard that it cracked.








Andruw Jones game worn 2005 Home Run Derby batting gloves:





Andruw Jones game worn 2004 TBTC Hat (worn to commerate the 30th anniversary of Hank breaking the homerun record):







John Smoltz strikeout baseball #3006

Girlfriend gave me some early christmas gifts, She works in the doctors office that greg brings his kids. Greg wrote happy b-day on the jersey because the braves won the 1995 world series on my 8th b-day.
