Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Adding to my Adams collection. 2013 Rookie cleats with lots of use. These are going to a friend of mine. The top 2 bats are MLB auth to the same game and consecutive ABs. I have the second one matched to a bases loaded RBI single on 8-15-14. Still working on getting them all matched. Top 3 Marucci are auth but the bottom BWP are not. Last bat is uncracked. All show great use. Will post on the Adams thread with more details.

While Glenn Gulliver didn't play with the Orioles during this labeling period, I was able to add this bat to my 1982-1983 Orioles team collection (until I can locate another one):

Really nice bat. You paid $3,000 for it?!?

Thanks Nate and no I didn't. Oops sorry, I meant Terry.

Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Picked up Aledmys Diaz's first Cardinals jersey (ST 2014) tonight at the Authentics Store. They got their first batch of jerseys since Ashley took over as the new director of the store. These included a handful of 2014 spring training jerseys as well as some pre-postseason 2013 jerseys, mostly players that didn't make it through the season with the team. Interestingly, they don't come with any form of authentication.

Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Two baseballs at the Cell last night: #1801 (almost mint BP baseball) and #1802, Alberto Callaspo's 15th double of the year, which was of the ground rule variety and bounced into the bullpen directly in front of me. That was my first game ball that wasn't bought or traded for from a fan since 9/11/2010 (Konerko HR).

Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Just recently picked up a 2014 Kris Bryant game used cracked bat. Was used during his AAA stint with the Iowa Cubs. It's a Chandler bat and is cracked on the handle. Pretty sweet bat!

Also picked up a pair of game issued autographed Kris Bryant spikes from this year! Both items are pretty cool considering the year he had in what is his first full season in pro baseball. He seems to be a pretty cool down to earth guy considering all the hype.

I'll post photos this evening.

Barry Larkin bat used for career home run #100 during his MVP season. This bat was on display at the Reds HOF for a period of time and shows heavy use.

Great bat Nick!!!!

Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Here's an item people probably don't think is important at all, but I thought it was interesting and held some historical significance.





This was a practice jersey for the 1994-1995 Denver Grizzlies, an IHL expansion team that won the Turner Cup in their first (and only) season as the Denver Grizzlies. With the NHL lock-out in effect, many NHL players found their way onto minor league rosters, and the Grizzlies were certainly no exception. Unfortunately, the immediate success (both on the ice and in gate revenue) drew enough attention to revisit the concept of an NHL team again in Colorado. The Nordiques were moved to Colorado to become the Avalanche, and the Grizzlies were forced out of their new home. The team moved on to Utah, where they won the Turner Cup for a second year in a row.

Now, what's curious about the, then Utah, Grizzlies is their lack of connection to the current Utah Grizzlies. It's like the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. The original Grizzlies moved to Cleveland, and was renamed the Lake Erie Monsters. The Grizzlies name (and trademarks) were then purchased and a different team became known as the Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL.
