Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Though I in theory agree with you, still nada, not even an email! Wonder if the Lee jersey arrived yet?

Very interesting when and how they decide to ship items at MLB .

Lee has not arrived yet. Thought I would get it today since the Ludwick jersey already arrived, but no dice.

I've never ever recieved a email stating an MLB Auction item I won has shipped, it just arrives unannounced usually ups signature, or usps signature, the fed-ex signature delivery was a surprise on a saturday, luckily I was at home.

I'm sure you'll get it this week, can't see why not the auctions ended the same time.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Just stuck it in there for pic purposes, Ludwick case should be here monday, Rolen Gamer went right back in it. That was the fastest I ever recieved anything from a MLB Auction, it was sent 2nd day Fed-Ex Signature, wish all MLB teams shipped items out that fast.... Cardinals usually take 3-6 weeks, and there only 25 miles away from me...

I was just kidding about the case , awesome you are getting a Ludwick one!

Yeah, Still no notification from MLB for me. Kind of crazy. I know I bought a Seattle Pilots Raul Ibanenz helmet years ago when I lived only 2 hours from Seattle, and had to write MLB after 2 months and ask "where is it?!"

I got it within 3 days after that. Hoping I do not have the same experience this time around with the Pirates.

WOW! That is an awesome jersey!! I have not even gotten a notification mine was sent out yet, so good for you. Got to get rid of the Rolen case, however (LOL) .

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

I'm was glad to see them win the Giants series as well to hopefully get the ship turned in the right direction. But now it's on to Milwaukee and Miller Park. Yikes!

Well, you hit the nail on the head for this series. Yesterday was a heart-breaker, and a sign that the Buccos have ran out of steam, to me personally .

Here's hoping they can at least finish above .500!

GREAT research done with the HR marker! I am glad you were able to piece everything together and find out what you did, that is simply awesome.

It is very gratifying when you own a piece and are able to get it's history.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Guess what!!! I just found footage of my Bagwell HR marker. The video that this came from is from Frank Thomas's performance at the 1994 HR Derby. I never thought I would see my actual marker hanging from Three Rivers. I can't quite explain how excited I am, like that kid in the candy store.



Here is the original video.

If someone could take high resolution screenshot(s) of the number 9 and email them to me, I would be eternally grateful to you.

My email is bagwellgameused@gmail.com.

Here is some interesting photographic evidence about the plate. See the #11 in this photo where the #9 originally was? Some tape residue on my Bagwell marker seems to confirm that #11 was put over #9, sometime after the 1994 All-Star Game HR Derby in Pittsburgh. This is all notwithstanding that HR #11 was hit on May 6, 1994 by Glenallen Hill a couple months before the derby. Perhaps the Pirates didn't have the Hill plate made until later in the year. There are also some dents on my Bagwell HR marker that lend evidence to its being hit on the fly - once by Hill and possibly a couple more times in BP. Another interesting tidbit is that the HR distances of #9 and #11 are listed as different, even though ample evidence shows that they hit in the same spot.

#9: Jeff Bagwell - 5/5/91 off Pirates' Bob Kipper (LF) 472'
#11: Glenallen Hill - 5/6/94 off Pirates' Denny Neagle (LF) 457'

Good for you, Frik! Nice work, I know that makes your day !

Thank you, Shipp_96. It truly does make my day. I also found out some interesting nuggets of information, which I will post below.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Thanks Eric! I appreciate the comments.

@MLB~NUT, so you won the Ludwick...nice! Did you happen to see what the Derrek Lee went for? I missed the end of that auction. I was this close to bidding on that one also.

Yes I did, and thanks, $290.00 for the Lee, I wanted to bid but with him being hurt, I got my eyes on a few Cardinals Gamers!!!

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Yeah Kyle I believe he paid 290.00? Right? And thank you also

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Pretty much every jersey from Josh's stay in Pittsburgh in 2007...

Though I loathed these when they used to wear them, I would LOVE to own one of the red ones now!
