Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Very nice! Is that a 2005 jersey?

Yes, 2005. I have a Dunn GU helmet, the pictured hat and batting gloves and a Reds bat. After he announced his retirement I decided to move everything but the jersey and bat. The others are sold pending final payment from buyer. I was quite surprised and disappointed he didn't want to make the short run to 500 HR. He could have easily made it; especially at home in Houston.

Wonder if this will make the auction? Will Ferrel Dunn gamer!

That's so cool to see he used a Dunn bat! I was hoping Ferrell would wear one of Dunn's old uniform numbers (44, 32, 10) but understand he wore #19 in honor of Bert Campaneris. At least Ferrell got to play for 4 of the 5 teams Dunn played for in his career (Reds, Diamondbacks, White Sox and A's).

I'm just messing. I love the Big Donkey. A reporter asked him once why they called him the Big Donkey? He replied: I'd like to think it's because they saw me in the shower....but it's really because I am so slow!
When he said that, I became a fan.

Glad to know you were just messing around. Who doesn't love to watch a 285 pound HR hitter run the bases?!

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Here is a 2013 Adam Dunn MM38-A Marucci bat. Last month, I did a repair to secure a handle crack which I documented in another thread (see: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ad.php?t=63757). I've been able to locate one HR photo match and am hoping for more when I eventually start digging through MLB video.

Here is a 2005 Louisville Slugger D188 maple bat. I've debated using glue to permanently secure the bits of peeled back tape on the knob but they don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

While many people do not like the 83's for their "softball or beer league" vibe - I always liked them because they are different. People get tired of the same look in uni's.

A friend of mine debates on the boringness of the Tigers Home jerseys and the fact they don't change. There; I think it shows legacy to stay the same. Tigers, Yankees, Cards, Dodgers Homes do not change and change isn't always good. The Tigers Roads have changed thru the years and I think today's style is boring and stale. Wish they returned to the 80's look and leave it alone.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Finally got my 83'. I have been trying to get some kind of Dunn throwback for awhile. Still looking for the 72'. Shows good wear with stains. Its authenticated to August 30th. If I can photo match it to some other games I will post those as well.

Awesome throwback! What makes it even more unique is it was the last White Sox uniform Dunn wore as he was traded to Oakland the following morning.

I couldn't find a complete list of the 2014 dates they wore the 1983 throwbacks but Getty has images of Dunn wearing this style on:

April 12
April 30
May 24
May 25
July 18
August 17

I think you might have a shot at matching the stains on the front upper part of Dunn's jersey (above the "S" in "SOX") on August 17 (Getty image 453745854).
