Re: GU jock strap...too far???

''Mickey had a great sense of humor, sometimes a bizarre one,'' said Mr. Halper. ''I was in Dallas shortly before he died, and he was holding a news conference to discuss his liver cancer. He saw me and hollered, 'Hey, Barry, do you want to buy my liver?' '


''Mickey knew that I had Ty Cobb's dentures,'' Mr. Halper added, with a laugh. ''Maybe he was trying to be helpful.'' Mr. Halper wasn't interested in Mantle's liver, but he did covet the scalpel used in the liver-transplant operation. The surgeon said he could not be sure which one he had used, but Mantle had another idea. A few weeks later Mr. Halper received a Federal Express package, and when he opened it he found a plastic glove, with a note: ''This is the glove from my hemmorid exam. Mickey Mantle.'


Mr. Halper framed the glove in a glass butterfly case but discreetly tucked it in a drawer. ''What should I do?'' asked Mr. Halper. ''Throw it away?'

Yes, in their going out of business sale.

You may have the one that I actually bought from them. They for some reason just randomly ignored my e-mails after they already said it was all mine

I might own an ARod Jock Strap. Don't judge.

I listed it on eBay and they ended auction and gave me as strike or something.

If anyone is interested in it, let me know.

I'll never forget the first GU jock strap I encountered for sale. It was years ago, I stumbled upon it on eBay, it was a Corey Dillon purported to be from his University of Washington days, and I thought, "What do you do with that? Display it??? Nope. Not me. Keep it and treasure it??? Again, no. Pull it out in front of your friends to impress them? It would make an impression with my friends, I'll bet! They'd think my whole marriage and two kids thing was a cover!"

My conclusion was, it had no value whatsoever for any purpose.

I already bought one of them

Re: GU jock strap...too far???

Not my cup of tea, although not new, either...a well-known New Jersey collector of roughly 30 years ago was adverising game-used jockstraps and underpants of Phillies players of the era.

That jock strap looks tame compared to this.

Yeah that is pretty bad, but I'm sure Bernie wasn't squatting in those for 9 innings haha.

I just saw a listing on ebay for an Ivan Rodriguez game used jock strap. Personally I think that is taking GU a little too far, what does everyone else think?
