July pick-ups

Re: July pick-ups

Picked up this absolutely hammered Adrian Gonzalez Trinity bat recently and judging by the game use it must have been a favorite of his.

The bat was used almost the entire month of May and retired after suffering a slight upper handle crack, either Gonzalez or a club house person wrote "Early May 2011" on the knob.

I'm not done yet but so far I photo matched the bat to a HR on May 6, 2011, it was Adrian's 3rd home run of the season and his 2nd HR at Fenway park, also his first ever home run over the "Green Monster" wall in left field as a Red Sox player: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=14527387

Also photo matched the bat to a game on May 11, 2011 vs. Blue Jays in which he hit his 7th HR of the season and on May 16, 2011 he hit a walk off game winning double in the bottom of the 9th vs. Orioles.

Thanks, Bobby

Gopack1782-mighty fine NC State players's jerseys! Great pictures and thanks for sharing! I have a 2005 Koren RobInson Vikings jersey picked up this year via JOSports. My only NFL jersey yet pretty battle worn too.

I wonder how many jerseys are issued to a NFL player during a season?

To paraphrase Peter Griffin in regards to the Bench bat:

"This bat is freakin' sweet"!

I apparently missed the Braves game that I needed to attend. Nice pickups Kyle!

I like the Chipper, JJ and Freeman.

Re: July pick-ups

New addition for the Johnny Bench collection:

Johnny Bench Rookie era bat from '67-'68, H&B model R161

Nice caked pine tar up the handle, with extremely heavy use over the entire barrel, many deep seam marks and ink transfers, along with a vintage late 60s variety Bench signature on the barrel. This completes the last era of his bats missing in the collection.

Re: July pick-ups

That is awesome for you guys. That sort of makes me sick, they have never had that much stuff at one of those before. I won't be able to make it back this season, so I will have to hope for some deals in the email lists. I am not a jersey guy although the Chipper is awesome, but a $100 McCann bat or two would have been nice. Great pick ups.

Re: July pick-ups

Awesome pick ups Kyle! I am very jealous especially of the Chipper jersey. I hate I had to move to San Diego because after that Heyward pick up last year I was going to keep an eye on this year's auction. I wish I had something good to offer for trade.

They did have some pretty good deals this year! I got a McCann game worn jersey too for $150!! They were also selling McCann game used bats for $100 each, and a Derek Lowe jersey for $100. Me and another forum member bought those. The jerseys from today's auction (the Heyward, Jurrjens, & Freeman) were still cheap but at the same time a lot of money. I ended up spending a few grand this weekend. Hopefully you can take a trip out here soon though!

Re: July pick-ups

Where did you get all the jerseys from kyle?

I won all of them in their charity auction this weekend. It was held Friday, Saturday, today, & tomorrow. They were collecting every jersey on July 1st to put in the auction.
