Re: March Pick-Ups

New additions and always looking for more!!!!!!

Steve Young 1993 gamer worn vs the Falcons with team letter. Notice the flag tags off of the Wilson tag. States 34 and under that "length" along with the jersey size of 44.

Klaus Wilmsmeyer 1994 gamer. This shirt has a funny story behind it as it was supposed to be given to KW's father at the end of the game but it "disappeared" from the locker room after the game. KW was mad as his dad was at the game and wanted his sons jersey. The team had to make up another and gave it to him the next home game.

Michael Crabtree 2010 International Series gamer worn vs Broncos in London

Mid 1980s Keena Turner home gamer with numerous repairs

Joe Cribbs 1986 full uniform with pants with the 40th patch. The patch and pants are rare.

Where do you find all these Youngs? You have an amazing Young collection.

I'm still doing some research...it almost looks like "Larry Moffett," but I can't find anyone by that name having played for Lansing...I'll see if I can get a close up pic on here for the forum to weigh in on.

Re: March Pick-Ups

Ryan Howard Game Used cracked bat. Interesting bat since Howard doesn't typically use a multi-colored bat. The MLB hologram information states that it was broken on May 7, 2009 against the Mets. Photo shows him using the bat on May 6, 2009.

Question for you bat experts. Does the timing of Howard's use of this bat conincide with the issues relating to "fully dipped" bats? What's the background on those issues? Did MLB ban fully dipped bats for a short time? I also noticed that Chase Utley was using a multi-colored bat around the same time. Thanks.

When MLB began slope testing on maple bats in spring training 2009, the test area had to be exposed, natural wood -- so you didn't see any all-black bats for most of 2009. Late in the season, you started seeing black bats again with little test windows.

You might want to look into 5/4/2009 pretty closely. Howard hit a 5th inning grand slam. I cannot get any 2009 game in HD on my MLB.TV for some reason. 2010 games are coming through fine, and 2009 was fine a couple weeks ago... Anyhow I noticed there is a big blue ball mark on left side of barrel about midway between center and barrel labels that looks similar to your bat. I don't want to get your hopes up, because I've got poor image quality coming through. But thought it might be worth your looking into...

Thanks Wes and Jeff. Good information from both of you.

Can anyone on GUU help me out. Couldn't find photos of Howard on 5/4/09 on Getty Images or Photoshelter. Anyone have MLB network in HD that can photomatch the bat that I posted? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!!!

Not sure if this helps, but this is a photo of the grand slam.
