The Nelson Cruz G/U Rangers bat is Super SICK!!! Did you buy that from the Rangers?

Buster, I purchased it directly from the Texas Rangers through their charity organization called the Rangers Foundation. The Foundation had a booth set up during the 2012 Fan Fest in early January and was using proceeds from the sales to help kids in the area. It was a great purchase knowing the money would be used to help these kids. They also had one Hamilton bat but as usual it sold really quick before I could get to it.

Picked up a 2011 Joey Votto game used Red Alternate jersey. It's unwashed with dirt and was last used in the last Reds home game of the season. This one completes the set!

Also picked up another Josh Willingham game used bat. It's all the way to the left and bat #13 of his in my collection. Hopefully some good Willingham items come available tomorrow at A's fanfest.

Game Worn "Bobcats" jersey - REALLY looks like a college jersey, but am struggling to find a match. Anyone have any insight?

Smoak 2011 Jersey Front

Smoak 2011 Jersey Back

Matched to every single game where Justin wore a road alternate; this is the only one he wore all year.

My 2004 Cha Seung-Baek Rookie Jersey from Mariners Fan Fest:

While on a "Team-Issued" Jersey Rack, the Wash-Tag shows clear repeated washings.

Baek played in 8 games in his rookie season, 3 of them road games (one of them being his major league debut), which I'm hoping to photo match (if anyone knows how to help me with that I'd be much appreciative)

Also, if you look closely, a nameplate has clearly been removed. Kevin Jarvis also wore #32 that season before being released, so this could very well have been used by Jarvis, or issued for Jarvis before being reissued and used by Baek

Thanks, Dave. It's one of my favorite jerseys, though I'm quite partial to some in my Bagwell collection.

Thank you. Jeremy helped me get this jersey; he is awesome. I'm sure that he'll be great hooking you up with Montero stuff. Good luck!

Thanks, I try to help when I can and when I've got the time to do so.

I agree though, that Smoak is pretty awesome to see in person, the amount of wear on it is amazing.

BurlesonBlue,
I remember that jersey and I think Chris even debating buying it lol. I think it was probably worn by both considering neither spent much time with us that year but it was clearly worn. Finding photos that far back of Baek though will be tough, same for Jarvis.

Scott,
I got your message, I'll try to get back to you tonight.

HA! What a coincidence. Lots of debating on my part between the Baek, a Jose Offerman, a Desi Relaford, and a James Baldwin, but always been a Baek fan!
