Congrats Dave. Do you plan to stop counting when you hit 2000?

2000 is my lifetime goal, but I doubt age and health will allow me to shag that long. That doesn't mean, however, that I won't try!

Tyler Ogle Game Used Star Wars Jersey.

I Bought this in the shirts off our back game last night in Rancho Cucamonga. Tried to get Cory Seager and Julio Urias but got outbid at 330 each, crazy...

Great pickup I love the Star Wars Themed Jerseys!

Re: May 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

I bid 330, winner won at 350, I could see we were going to fight each other for a bit on the bids. Seager is a beast, I hate dropping that much on a one time worn jersey but it would have been cool to meet and get pics with him.

I was also bidding on Chris Anderson until his mom basically told me she wasn't going to lose the jersey, I was nice and quit in the 200's

That was really considerate of you with the mom. As for the Seager... yeah, too bad, but at least you got one of the jerseys, which is always cool.

I wouldn't say $330 for a Corey Seager gamer is crazy... I would have likely offered up to $500 if I were there. He's a good kid with a nice skill set... and that jersey is simply cool. As for Urias... I don't know. Isn't he supposed to have a ceiling of a #3 starter? That seems a ridiculous price for a #3 starter, let alone someone with a ceiling of one.

Rey Ordonez 2003 Rays home game worn vest jersey. One of the best fielding SS of all time, in my opinion.

Went to a few Tennessee Smokies (Cubs AA) games this week & ended up coming home with a few nice home run balls. First is a Kris Bryant home run ball signed & inscribed "#13 HR", second is a home run ball hit by diamondbacks prospect Jon Griffin who hit 5 home runs in 5 consecutive at bats breaking the all time MiLB record. This is the ball from the 5th & record breaking home run which was shown on ESPN & MLB Network. I'm sure some would disagree with my choice to get them both signed & inscribed, but I think it adds more meaning to them!

Congrats on snagging the home run balls!! The Bryant auto is fantastic and to get Griffins record breaking ball is amazing! I definitely think the autographs add value and make the baseballs way more displayable.

I think it was good to get them signed, but maybe you should have had them inscribe the date, too. That would have been super cool.
