My two favorite items are my game used 1976 Johnny Bench bat. And, my 1985 game used Pete Rose Mizuno bat. Bot have great use. Bench was the World Series MVP that season and, of course, Pete broke the hits record in 1985.
my first ever game used bat which i used and cracked.
hit the ball so hard i shaved off the barrel of the bat
i kept it but then i lost track of it and never knew what happened to it
Geoff,
I'm glad you like the Hanley helmet that much. I hated to let it go. I'm glad to see you still have it. At the time it was one of the nicest items I owned but it didn't fit in the direction I wanted my collection to go. As I'm sure you all know.....you can't collect everything. It gets to the point where in order to buy new items you have to thin out the herd and sell some older items.
As far as my favorite items go they would have to be my 4 game used Jonathan Papelbon gloves. His first glove from his first ever glove contract with Rawlings in 2004, his first Boston game used glove from 2005 and both gloves he used in Boston ....as well as the All Star Game in 2006.
My favorite piece is my 1971 California Angels Andy Messersmith home jersey. She needs a little restoration work in the new year, but one day I'll have this hanging on my office wall. The 4 on the back and front was removed and the 7 was centered for minor league use by Richard Laubert in 1972. 1971 was the final year the Angels used flannels and the first year for the new style jersey with the lower case "angels" and haloed "a". McAuliffe size 46.
My current favorite is a 1995 Yankees road jersey worn by Randy Velarde. The jersey still have the armband and 7 that memorialized Mickey Mantle's death in tact. I've been searching for one of these for some time, Steiner came through.
My fav game used item I currently own is my 2006 GCL Adrian Cardenas Auto jersey. This kid was the 2006 Highschool POY for BA and he did real well in the GCL. Word has it that he is a throwback type of player and should end up as a power hitting second baseman. Should be fun to watch next year!
Unfortunately, I have sold most of my favorite game used items over the last year, so they are now owned by some one else! My favorite item that I own is the Steve Garvey game used bat that I purchased from a forum member a month ago. I am 39 years old and growing up in Southern California he was my favorite player when I was a kid.
Im not sure if we did this thread before but for fun around the holidays lets do this again.
