Re: September Pick Ups

How many games do you attend at Target Field? I do believe that if a player sees you and remembers you he is more likely to give you an item.

I go just under 20 games a year, plus I try to do a road trip or Spring Training. The Plouffe thing started off as a Twitter contest thing that I won, we talked about it during 2012 Spring Training (given my first bat) and have stayed relatively close ever since.

The Twins are an outstanding bunch of guys for the most part, so a few of the guys have started to notice and acknowledged me in positive ways.

Re: September Pick Ups

I attended many St. Cloud State Hockey games wearing a Waldo "costume", so I decided to try it for the first time at the Twins finale. As you can tell by the pictures, it worked.



I got all three directly from the players. It was surreal. I thought getting a bat from Luke Hughes (Drew Butera model Big Stick) at the end of 2011 would be a highlight that would be tough to top... but this CRUSHED it!

Trevor Plouffe is my favorite player, has hooked me up with 2 bats now, a pair of batting gloves, and nearly 10 baseballs over the past 2 years. I think it's easy to see WHY he's my favorite.

Any story behind the Waldo hat and the glasses?

Did you buy these or were these given to you by the player at the last game? Very nice haul either way.

Re: September Pick Ups

Got a 1983 retro White Sox GU cap used by the team, along with corresponding uniforms, as their Sunday home alternate attire. A big thanks to bullpen catcher/catching instructor Mark Salas for adding this great lid to my collection

Re: September Pick Ups

Went to the last game of the year at Target Field, scored a huge lot!

-Trevor Plouffe bat
-Oswaldo Arcia bat
-Chris Colabello bat
-Brian Dozier batting glove
-4 baseballs

*All bats are uncracked, too!*

Not too shabby for a one day haul!

Re: September Pick Ups

Some nice pickups! I was able to pick up Mac's away jersey from the same auction. Did you go the last day of the series? Did you know if they were giving stuff away the last day or threw anything out before leaving?

Thanks! Yes, I was at the last game of the series. The players did give some stuff away after the game, mostly caps and a few bats. Almost everything was snatched up by a small group of teenage kids and a couple of older gentlemen who were pretty aggressive in asking the players for items. Some players didn't give away anything because supposedly they were donating them to a children's hospital. I emailed some of the front office staff asking if I could have any game used items being thrown away and I never heard back. One of the front office staff said they would try to get me some pants when I won the jersey auction but it didn't happen.
