2016 Raul Mondesi Omaha Storm Chasers hat. This type of hat would have been used in BP. The original number was 37 but was written over with a 17. Mondesi wore 37 for the first game or two then he changed to 17. He only played 14 AAA games prior to being called up to the Royals.

Today is a sad day for Royals Nation. Yordano Ventura was killed in a car accident at 25. The only thing I have in my collection at this time is a ball he pitched to Mike Trout on August, 26 2015. It was a 99 MPH fastball that Mike hit for a fly out to right field. I'm posting this today to honor his memory. I enjoyed watching him pitch. I enjoyed his enthusiasm. I enjoyed his fearlessness. I will miss not seeing him pitch again. One of the last games I went to in 2016 was a game he pitched against the Blue Jays in August. I loved watching him duel against reigning MVP Josh Donaldson, Jose Batista, and the rest of the team. The Royals won that game. Also pictured is my Yordano Ventura autographed ball. Thanks for the memories, you will be missed. #RIPACE

I grabbed this Strikeout ball.

Sportsnbikes those are two awesome jerseys. I have never see one of the 1969 jerseys outside of game pictures. Truly a rare Royals artifact. Gratz on the pick up. Nice Hosmer Jersey too. The best ones are the ones with dirt on them like that.

Thanks man. I probably wouldn't buy any new jersey unless it had some dirt on it.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Well thanks to legendary Kansas City Royals Game Used Jersey Collector Leigh, I was able to pick up this inaugural year 1969 Kansas City Royals Away Jersey. I have been looking for 3 years for one of these. This jersey is the most awesome jersey. It is beautiful and I love it. The jersey is all original except for the 100 year anniversary patch. However, the patch that was added is an original patch. Thank you Leigh!! This rare item is highly treasured.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Had a great weekend at the Royals Fan Fest. Came home with a few items that I will be posting soon. Here is the first one. Long story short I got these gloves thinking they were Salvador Perez gloves but forgot that his gloves have an embroidered SP13 near the wrist but while looking at pictures of Salvy I found him slapping hands with Cheslor Cuthbert who was wearing this style so I started looking at him. In the first few pictures I was able to photomatch these gloves to the final game of the season on October 2, 2016 vs the Indians. The match was to his 12 homerun of the year and 13th of his career hit off of Josh Tomlin.

Hello all,

Will any GUU members be attending this weekend's Royals FanFest?

Being from Pittsburgh, I'm unfortunately unable to attend.

Please contact me as I am looking for any Jason Kendall items that might be available for sale. I'm willing to pay finders fees! : )

Any assistance would be tremendously appreciated!

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Here Raul Mondesi's left handed batting helmet. This is the helmet that he used the most during the season and it shows the wear. He was wearing this helmet for his first MLB hit on July 27, 2016 which was also his 21st birthday, Also making him one of the few players to get their first MLB hit on their birthday. Wearing this helmet he also hit his 1st MLB homerun on August 16, 2016 and his second on September 25, 2016 both against the Tigers in Detroit. His first homerun was against 2016 CY award runner up Justin Verlander. It was the second time in 2016 that Verlander gave up a Royals rookie first MLB homerun. The first was to Brett Eibner.

Mondesi's helmets have a habit of falling off his head while he is running. That is evident by all the dirt that is on the inside of this helmet. He also has a habit of touching his helmets/hats where the brim and the rest of the helmet/hat meet quite a bit. He will use both right and left hands to nearly molest that spot. All the hats and helmets I have of his have this trait. Dirt/wear at those spots. You can see it clearly on the first picture of the front of the helmet. I see this as a usage trait of his and would be cautious of any hat or helmet of his that does not display this trait.

I have photomatched this helmet to his first hit as well as his first and second HR's.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Here is another helmet from the Royals 2016 season. This helmet helped to make history. Raul Mondesi was the first player in MLB history to make his debut in the World Series. He wore this right handed batting helmet during his first regular season at bat, becoming the first player to have his first regular season at bat after a post season MLB debut. As a side note I also have the ball he hit during this at bat. The helmet was also used the rest of the season when he batted right handed.

I was able to photomatch the numbers on the back of the helmet.

Also as note Raul is a switch hitter and during this game he used both this helmet and his left handed batting helmet during the game. His last at bat was from the left side of the plate.
