Recently picked up this 2015 Alcides Escobar Jersey, thanks to another GUU member. I have photomatched it to two games on June 3 and July 7, 2015. This was the Royals World Series Championship season. Escobar also won his first Gold Glove and made his first start in the 2015 All-Star game. The jersey was patched for the Postseason and is authenticated as a team issued jersey. This will go great with his All-Star GU helmet I have.

1st Base from the 1st and 2nd innings of the opener. I purchased opening day bases in 2014 and 2015 and they went to the WS both years. So, I wanted to keep the streak going. You can thank me later. Lol.

Posted this is the Salvy thread also. MLB Authenticated bat used to hit a single, at least. I haven't spent much time trying to match it but hope to soon.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Welp...I got lucky yet again. Picked up this Alcides game used bat for pretty cheap and photomatched it so far, to games 2 and 4 of the ALDS. What's cool about this bat is the there is a ball mark that I presume was left after the bunt in the picture. The cool part is that you can actually read the end of the letters. It says tseason...the end of postseason.

Great Splittorff Jersey! Spent his entire Major Legue career as a Royal, and I believe has more wins than any other Royals pitcher. Very nice!

Sorry I can only post 1 picture at a time from my phone.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

This is a jersey that was previously posted in this thread. I purchased it from KDixon. It has been authenticated by Dave Miedema. Paul Splittorff 1983.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Here is one of my first game used bats I ever got. I purchased it off eBay around 10 or 11 years ago. When I bought it I probably paid more for shipping than the bat itself. It is a Carolina Clubs bat from Carlos Febles. Back in the late 90's and early 2000's he was one half of "Dos Carlos", the other half being Carlos Beltran. Febles had a good rookie year but fizzled out after that. Beltran, on the other hand, has had a great career. I now display this bat right below my GU signed Beltran bat that I picked up a few months ago. Looking up at those two bats brings back some great memories at the ballpark. Dos Carlos together again.

Try as I might I have not been able to locate a style match to this bat. However the taped knob seems to be something he did through his career. The tape on the knob is covered in pine tar. Both the knob and end of the barrel have his #3 hand written on them. There are ball marks on all sides of the barrel. The handle has a nice crack in it.

If anyone has more info that they can add I would be greatfull.

So did the White Sox in 2005 with WS patches. The team only wore home pinstipes and road greys in the sweep...no home vests and no black alternates.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Thanks Guys. Mets did the same thing too.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Wes,

This jersey has the postseason patch but was it used in the post season?

If not the Mets did the same thing.

I do not believe it was post season used... though I wish it was..
TBM's post covers it... the equipment managers slapped patches on a whole bunch of stuff, just so they had it available in case they ended up needing it.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

The Royals put postseason and World Series patches on all four uniform variations. There are lots of postseason and World Series patched jerseys that never saw game use in PS or WS, but were used all regular season long. The majority of the PS and WS patched jerseys out there are authenticated as team issued but can be photo matched throughout regular season and were not used in PS or WS.
