Finally took some pics of my new Rollins bat. I photomatched it to several games between July 20 - August 2nd when it was cracked. He also used it to hit a HR vs the Cardinals on July 26th.

Dewey,

Re: June pick-ups

Just picked up a game worn Villanova jersey to add to my Big 5 basketball collection. The workmanship involved to make this jersey is just amazing. The outer material is mesh while the inside of the jersey is lined. EVERYTHING is sewn onto the jersey including the side trim which consists of individual panels sewn together to make-up the trim feature of the jersey. The "V" in the neck area is NOT a patch but a direct embroidery onto a piece of matching mesh material which was then sewn onto the jersey.

According to the Nike label, the white Parts are 100% Polyester and the colored parts are 100% nylon.

Just picked up another addition to my Travis Snider game used collection. 2006 Pulaski Blue Jays jersey - Snider's first year in pro ball, he was named the Appalachian League MVP in 2006. Big thanks to GUU member fanofjerseys for making this jersey available to me.

Re: June pick-ups

Picked up this Yadier Molina road batting helmet tonight at the Cardinals Authentics shop. Shows great use. Also almost got the home run ball hit by Milton Bradley. The person that caught it threw it back on the field and then it ended up with the third base coach and he threw it into the crowd. If it wasn't for the guy next to me I would have had it. It actually bent my fingernail back. Some woman sitting a couple rows in front of us that looked like she couldn't care less ended up with it.

Nice pickup on the Molina helmet...he is one popular Cardinal!

Too bad about the Bradley home run, but it happens. Back in 1996, I was three seats away from a Trinidad Hubbard home run that sailed into the back row of the old Family Section at Wrigley Field. Never got near it, though, because Ralph...an old guy who hung out at the ballpark and was generally clueless, blocked me out as he watched as it hit the back fence, bounded off the cement aisle and went back on the field. The only way I could've gotten a chance at it would have been to run him over...something SOME Wrigley ballhawks wouldn't give a second thought to doing but was not my way of doing things. The final blow: Cubs LF Luis Gonzalez, aware it was a visitors home run and also aware of the ludicrous practice of throwing it back, tossed it into the Cubs bullpen. I was pals with Ralph, still am, but I was giving him grief about costing me a home run 5 years later.

Re: June pick-ups

In the process of getting a few Yankees bats, but just got this one today for my wife who is a Phillies fan. It kills me to have another Phillies bat in the house, but it is a unique combo. It is Victorino's pink bat used on 5/10 for his first at bat of the day and the ball he hit for the fly out.

Re: June pick-ups

I just picked up a very nice football from the 1975 Orange Bowl. Below is part of an email I received from the prior owner explaining it's provenance. NOTE the tiny "A" hand-written on the football's laces.

I obtained the ball from my uncle who was a major contributor to the University of Notre Dame. He has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the University and he had the same seats Knute Rockne had at all the football games. Apparently, the University had brass name plates engraved and affixed to their seats. My uncle once donated his old house in South Bend to the Notre Dame historical society. He got the ball after the '75 Orange bowl from the Alumni association to show thier appreciation for all his financial contributions. before he passed, he gave me the ball.

Re: June pick-ups

That's funny. My favorite ball story would have to be from the 2006 NLCS. A foul pop up was hit towards us and of course everyone around us was standing except for my dad. He had just sat down with some nachos and was eating them when the ball came down and hit him in the chest and fell into his nachos.

Re: June pick-ups

Thanks to Rboitano and Tim at HOFBats here's my June addition

[solarlottry]

Re: June pick-ups

A few new 49ers goodies to add to the collection including a 1990 Roger Craig home gamer, autographed with nice use and team repairs. Trying to photomatch it now. Next is an Ashley Lelie away 2007 shirt with decent use. Direct from Ashley who will inscribe it this weekend. Interesting thing about the LeLie is that it has no tail tag. Last is a collection of GU gloves including Jerry Rice from 1996, BCA Tarrel Brown and Mark Roman, Manny Lawson, Josh Morgan, Spikes and LeLie-all autographed and will varying degrees of use.

Always looking for quality 49ers stuff especially 1994 shirts. Absolute top $$$$$ paid for any 94 shirts and ANY player. A team letter would be even better.
