Thanks to Joe O"Hearn always helping me make my collection special.

Giancarlo Stanton Career Home Run 149 Game Used Bat - Used to become second all time on the Marlins home run list by passing Hanley Ramirez.

Sorry the lighting is bad - easy match.

Picked up what is probably now my favorite item in my collection, a Jose Reyes game used glove.

2014 Rangers first rounder Luis Ortiz gave his home hat from his time with the Hickory Crawdads at the end of the season. He only made one home appearance with Hickory.

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.

That Larkin HR bat is a thing of beauty. I think I remember seeing it in person at the Reds HOF.

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.

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.
