The stadium was empty, had to be less than 10,00 even though it said 20,000 online. And I doubt anyone else bought a ball. They also had a Harper strikeout and foul tip but I passed. I paid less than $80 for it.

Yes they normally get the inning used balls by the next inning. So say you want one from the 3rd, they should have it in the fourth or at least be able to tell you what balls they can get.

What did they charge you for the ball? Was there like a line for fans trying to buy up the balls? Is it the same way at Yankee stadium at the Steiner store. Just curious. Every ball I've bought has been through mlb auctions. I paid $240 for Harpers 237th hit which was his 45th double and 106th RBI. Last year.

Yes... I was tracking every hit ball and would watch to see if it was given to the mlb person.

So it was that quick then? You were at the game and then walked to the team store and bought the ball? I was at opening day with my Harper jersey on sitting right behind Harper. I didn't even think to go to the team store to see what they had. I live in Queens so I'll check it out another day.

Where did you get the Harper ball? Was it at the mets team store?

Thanks to everyone for their praise of my Barnes triumvirate - the picture, the jersey, and the ball.

That is one of my favorite pics, and it's been neat to do the photo and videomatching and to put everything together.

Yeah, Barnes will never be a star, but it's fun to put stuff together from games you're at.

Great work!

1.) Mike Piazza 1992 rookie jersey. Supposedly the first ever jersey issued to Piazza during his September call up in 1992. Mike's rookie #25 used to be on the jersey and was switched to #31 the following Spring. Mike made his debut in Chicago and recorded his first career hit that day. The jersey is photo matched to his '93 Flair and '93 Bowman cards.
2.) Ladainian Tomlinson 2006 powder blue home jersey worn during his record-setting, MVP season. LT had 172 yards and 3 TD's vs Cleveland while wearing this jersey and possibly worn early in the season while playing Pittsburgh. It's hard to imagine a running back having a better season with the way the rules have changed. The jersey has countless photo matches.
3.) George Brett game used bat from his final opening day of his HOF career on 4/5/93. Brett faced Roger Clemens all four times that day and recorded career hit #3,006 during his second at bat. Judging by the use, I believe it would be safe to assume the bat was used for that specific hit and broken his final at bat, even though it cannot be proven without footage from the game.

All three items were previously owned by forum members and I am grateful for the relationships I have been able to build on this site over the years.
