Re: May pickups

Didn't realize we had a few members in the Seattle area today, woulda been neat to meet other forum members.

Yeah - Same here. I went with a friend, but it was more of a last-minute thing. Perhaps in the future, a bunch of us could meet up at Safeco.

Where was the helmet? Just curious. I wouldn't have bought it, but I'm just curious where in the team shop those helmets are to be found.

No problem, I called before going and they said no batting helmets were available, but plenty of game used bats, balls and jerseys.

Well, after entering the street level downstairs team shop, my wife is looking thru the women's section of M's clothing and what do I see on the back corner wall? A display case with four game worn batting helmets, caps, bats, scorecards, balls...the whole nine! I asked a salesperson if these were just for display and not for sale, and he said oh no...all of these game used items in the case are for sale.

The sales guy stated the upstairs shop does not communicate with the downstairs shop. Even he admitted some real gems make their way down there and no one thinks to look on the lower level for GU items.

I know in the future where I will stop first next time. Of the three remaining helmets, one had no "S" sticker on the front or number on the back, but the other two showed nice pine tar and use, with numbers I cannot recall...maybe "4" was one of them? I was so hyped when I saw what he and I believed to be Jack Wilson, I kind of just zoned in to that one and bought it.

Hope this helps!

Re: May pickups

Picked up some items not usually on my radar....

Old Champion GU jersey from a local high school. 48 +2 length. I'm a sucker for Champion.






Here's something I found intriguing. A GU jersey from the Jungo Bears. A team from the CPBL. The Bears were only around from '93 to '95. They then became the Sinon Bulls.

This particular player is Will Flynt.

Looking through his bio I was surprised that he played for my M's farm team, San Bernardino, before his stint overseas.
