Re: July 2015 Pickups
Picked up 2 bats at the Spokane Indians game tonight
Darius Day black and grey Max bat(model 110) medium pine tar with red white and blue Lizard Skin tape and a knob sticker of some anime character(never seen that before)
The bat came from the team store signed in black on the back and I got him to write game used after the game.
Yeyson Yrizzarri natural Max Bat (model 243) heavy pine tar
Came from the team store signed in silver and when I asked him to write game used he just signed it again(I don't think he spoke any English)Comment

Re: July 2015 Pickups
Always wanted one of these. 2013 main field home plate from yankee stadium. Yankees went 5-2 during a 7 game homestand. Some big things during this homestand included 2 walk off wins, 2 blown saves by Rivera, A-rod first homer of 2013, Miguel Cabrera 3 homeruns, Mike Trout several hits including a homer and Alfonso Soriano became only the third live ball ERA player to have back to back 6 plus RBI games. He ended up hitting 5 homers during this homestand.Comment

Re: July 2015 Pickups
That's incredible. I love it. I don't understand why collecting minor league gamers - particularly when you live near the park and can get them in person for next to nothing - isn't more popular...but I guess those of us who do it shouldn't complain. Promote that aspect of the hobby too much and we'd end up paying inflated prices.
Speaking of inflated prices, there's been a Paul Goldschmidt ST bat for sale in the little GU kiosk at Chase Field since the beginning of the year. They were asking $800 for it until a couple of weeks ago. At about the time Goldy was named to be a starter in the ASG, they jacked the price up to a thousand.
Makes me wish I lived in one of the minor league affiliate cities, instead of Phoenix. I had occasion to travel to Alabama a few years ago and stopped in Mobile for a couple of games (free admission with my retired military ID) - bought a half-dozen nice bats in the Team Shop at Hank Aaron Stadium for twenty each and priority-mailed them to myself.Jeff

Re: July 2015 Pickups
I picked this 05/12/84 lineup card off ebay the other day. When I initially saw it offered, the date didn't didn't jump out at me so I checked Baseball Reference & noted that the Orioles got thumped by Oakland 12-2 that day and that Cal Ripken Jr. went 1 for 3. I then happen to notice that Jim Palmer pitched the last couple innings in this game ("mop up duty") and gave up a few runs.
It then made me think that this was approximately the time that Palmer retired that spring and in checking Palmer's page on BB Reference, it confirmed that this was his LAST MLB appearance...His name can also be seen written in by the home plate umpre on the card (lower right)...
