Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Man that's a nice piece. I hope to own a glove some day.

I got a few bats from the Royals and a few just here and there. I got the Sal bat from Player Direct.

contiued into 2008
Gordon continues to use this glove on opening day and into May of 2008. He starts to work in another glove into game use and eventually switches over to that glove. The other similar glove has "Rawlings" in gold on the 4 finger side but no "Rawlings" on the thumb side. I believe the glove he started to use was the glove he was using for the first week of his rookie season but cannot confirm this and have not researched it enough. You can also see how the wrist opening has been made smaller by fastening the backing to the two previously open holes near the "Rawlings" back of wrist red rectangle patch.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

I've had this bat for a little over a year but I just found a cool complimentary piece in this lineup card. This bat was photo matched to Perez first career walk off home run. The lineup card is from that game.

Where do you get all of these bats?

One of my favorite Royals pieces...
Alex Gordon 2006-2008 (rookie, multiseason) game used glove.
This glove was manufactured for Gordon in 12/2005 (BLEK, ID no 12). The glove is signed by Gordo and he inscribed game used. The glove was originally sourced through Hollywood Collectibles who was Gordon's exclusive memorabilia agent through 2008 or 09. Rawlings is stiched in gold on the thumb area with no rawlings identifier on the 4 finger side (helps to distinguish this glove from others). During the life of the glove, the wrist part of the glove was actually tightened as early on in the use of the glove there were two exposed holes between the Rawlings back of wrist patch that were later used to fasten the glove tighter.

2006
In 2006 Gordon was the Minor League player of the year in AA at Wichita, he starred in the Futures Game that year with Billy Butler. I believe midway through his 2006 season he started using this glove. He was using a tan glove earlier in the season but by the futures game and into the second half of the season he was wearing this style glove.

2007
Gordon uses this glove throughout Spring Training but does not use it for his debut series. After the first week or so (Early April) of the season he uses this glove exclusively throughout the season (except when he plays at 1B). He even is using this glove the last day of his season (when he took a ball off his face)

Keeping the Royals thread going...

2006 Wichita Wrangler jerseys of Alex Gordon and Billy Butler
2007 Butler Rookie bat, MLB holo, and photomatched
2008 Gordon bat

Oldies but goodies of John Wathan and Pat Tabler.

Great items, Gordo and Butler have been a huge part of the great ball they've been playing lately

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Man that George Brett jersey is fantastic!As I grew up in the 80's he & Mattingly are my alltime favorite players. Are those GU Brett bats in the case beside the jersey? I am not a bat guy,but I am a big fan of the 1983 Pine Tar Incident & would love to have a Brett GU bat with tons of pine tar on it in my collection ....I like to watch the pine tar video on youtube for a good laugh from time to time

Yeah, I love the jersey too. Those are Brett GU bats next to the jersey

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

You would scare me from trying to steal a base with that look in your eye sportsnbikes lol....And maybe Dee Gordon of the Dodgers

LOL...I would think it would be my hair that would scare you off.

And agreed with you on the Brett stuff...those Brett bats are so freaking sweet as are the jerseys. In about 8 years, I am going to own a Brett jersey, bat, or both. Just have to finish up these lil child suport payments. LOL.
