Re: August 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

Been a little bit since I posted and finally getting around to it now as my wife and I welcomed our third child, a baby girl, to start the month.

Added lineup cards for my daughter's birth (Phillies vs. Nats) and my sons (Cubs vs. DBacks); Zoilo Almonte's hat with Rivera retirement patch from Mo's last game on Sept 26, 2013 (I think it displays nicely and IMO and cost effective piece of game used memorabilia from that game); MLB Authenticated baseball to Game 5 of the 2011 ALDS between the Yankees and Tigers (Posada's last game, Rivera's final postseason game); And added these pair of game used baseballs from a pair of 1991 Charleston Wheelers baseballs that were reportedly pitched by Rivera. I tried to find out as much info as I could, and was told they were part of a collection from a longtime employee with the Wheelers. I've tried to track down boxscores to no avail, so if anyone can lend any information (if the balls match the time period?), I'd appreciate it.

Sig on South Atlantic League ball is John Henry Moss, was president at that time. Good luck on your research

Just picked up a game used throwback Mississippi Braves jersey of Cedric Hunter. Jersey was worn against Birmingham here in Pearl, MS on Aug 24 and also worn in the Rickwood Classic in June in Birmingham. Having to let it air-out due to massive amount of dirt and sweat.

2013 Miguel Cabrera MVP Season GU Home Run Home Jersey. Used April 25-May 10. Used during 3 Home Runs.

I picked this one up earlier in the week. It was last used and authenticated to May 10 - when he hit his 328th Career Home Run - but it has been photomatched starting with April 25. He wore this jersey April 25,26,28,29,30, May 1, and then again on May 10 on the first game of the new home stand. I didn't like the heinous thread pull until it started popping up in pictures/video!

He hit HR #324 on April 28 and HR # 325 on April 30.



April 28 - HR #324


April 30 - HR #325

The Cardinals Authentics Store had a table full of batting helmets for sale tonight. Picked up two pretty nice ones for $45 a piece.

Rafael Furcal home S100 Pro Comp authenticated as game-used on July 8, 2012. I was nicely surprised when I got home and learned that he got the walk off hit in this game, and when you watch the video you can clearly see that he was wearing this helmet when he got the hit (Look at the chipped out portion of the bill).

Also picked up Trevor Rosenthal's postseason road helmet from his rookie season in 2012.
