Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Trevor Rosenthal 2010 Johnson City jerseys. I have the red one and the navy also, but can't seem to get the pics to load. He won the Appy League championship game 6-2 that year. His first full year pitching.

Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Picked up these beauties at the game last night. Game wasn't much fun but bringing these home made the 3-2 12 inning loss more bearable. The hat is Adams' 2013 postseason BP cap with some use and came from the stadium auction. The Rawlings bat was in the team store on display on the counter as well as a Carp bat. They were taking offers on them. The first Molina was in the back. The last Molina was in the stadium auction. It was in a bat tube and the workers said it was not authenticated. I looked at the date and thought it was 3-29-13 but I thought the tar was way too fresh and thick for it being that old. When I got home and took it out of the tube I saw that the black end cap of the bat tube was covering up the auth sticker. It is EK 860021 and upon closer inspection the date is 8-29-13. Ran the code and it's auth to 2013 NLCS GM6!!! Gonna have some fun photomatching this one! More pics later.

Nice Molina catch. Hopefully that ended up being gat a discounted price on that steal.

Not new pickups, though Clemente was fairly recent, but very happy to get this Clemente and Ripken bat tied specifically to MVP Seasons for each player....

'74-'79 Jim Rice Adirondack bat:

Great use and very heavy pine tar; also at barrel end (attached close-up) shows evidence of being corked as well.

Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

Ben, gorgeous Rice bat! Do you have plans to have an X-ray done? It shows beautiful use but I'm not sure I could hold off on not knowing the whole truth.

Re: September 2014 Pick-Ups

I got a Carl Crawford game-used Louisville Slugger (black) from when he was with the Tampa Bay Rays…..it's pretty cool because it's the first Louisville Slugger I've gotten….
