April 2013 Pickups

Re: April 2013 Pickups

They can't all come from winning or particularly memorable games, but it sure is nice when they do. A few hours after Jay Bruce's walk-off single won (1-0) the rain postponed which began the prior evening (4-16-13), Jay Bruce provided career RBIs 383 and 384 with hit # 634. Jay ended the unique day for the Phillies starter. I watched closely as the ball itself remained in play through the pitching change. Although I was liking the Reds hits during the 5-run 2nd, I was pretty happy to see Todd Frazier foul this ball back to the screen so it would be authenticated. The 2nd game completed on the day (from which this Bruce 2-RBI ball came) resulted in an 11-2 Reds victory and series sweep.

I primarily collect Jay Bruce and Joey Votto.... other Reds and Bengals stuff often interests me too. Please let me know what you have that may be available for sale: plettner at fuse.net. For those who (like myself) collect Reds items you can buy from the Reds direct by reaching jcline@reds.com.

2012 Derek Jeter Batting road practice jersey and Road pants...both game issued. The Pants show a little use, not very much in the jersey. Very happy to have something of the Captain.

Johnny Bench '73-'75 B278C model bat:

-Great use on the barrel, nice and distinct seam marks and shoe scuffs with a very heavy coat of pine tar up the handle. It came thru a former Cardinals bat boy source. And a big thank you to my friend that was able to then get a terrific signature and inscription to round it out.

Absolutely gorgeous Bench, Ben. Congratulations and thanks for sharing that beauty!

Re: April 2013 Pickups

picked this up for an extremely cheap price. J.R. Murphy 2012 cracked game used bat. considering he's starting to rake in AA trenton and he's one of three of the yankees young catchers, I think it's a pretty damn god investment
