There are guys on Waveland Avenue who have snared over 3,000 in their time doing this. Sadly, with at least a few of them, their egos, as a result of this, have grown larger than their collections.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. There are people in the game-used world who approach the hobby with a sense of entitlement, because they own more material possessions than other people.

Keep catching those balls, and good luck getting to #1,800

Very impressive Dave! Do you label the baseballs with date, teams etc?
I have never caught a baseball despite numerous games in Chicago, Philadelphia and Atlanta. With 1800, you must be the Hank Aaron of In person game or practice used baseball collectors. I assume you don't use steroids.

I generally don't mark them unless they're either a milestone ball like the upcoming #1800, or a game ball, in which case I mark the information on the ball cube.

And, no, no steroids or HGH>

Career baseballs #s 1796 and 1797, both from Tampa Bay during BP Saturday. One was a gimme because I was the only person, including adults, who could reach it. Three away from #1800...here's hoping it's soon.

Just bought this Gregg Olson game used dbacks bat. I was able to get it signed by him this weekend. He was very nice about signing it, and mentioned he didn't remember cracking it.

Probably because he didn't. He only had 2 at bats.

Cool Helmet Momen! Any ideas who wore it?

Eric

no. it does have use but no evidence of numbers or such to tell me. i like it, especially being an old ABC helmet and lefty, which is what i collect, along with flapless helmets.
