Re: October Pickups

Some of you may recall last month that I showed the jersey's that the NYPL Aberdeen Ironbirds were wearing on 09/02 to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr. surpassing Lou Gehrig for the most consecutive games played.

They held a silent auction during the game for the jerseys worn that evening and I targeted the jersey of hitting coach Calvin Pickering, because he was the only person in uniform who actually was a teammate of Cal Ripken. Not to mention at size 54, this is easily the largest jersey I own.

After washing them and having Cal sign them all, it finally arrived yesterday:

Thats a great add to you wonderful collection,Bill. Always a pleasure seeing your collection grow.

'38-'39 Jimmie Foxx GU bat:

(MVP/Batting Title Year and MVP Runner Up Year)

This is my favorite pick up of late, a bat with great use, clear stampings and a really nice patina.
"The Beast" played in the shadow of Ruth and Gehrig in the AL to some extent, though putting up massive numbers, especially in this 10+ year run he had with the Philadelphia A's and then in Boston. He used this bat with the Red Sox in back-to-back incredible seasons, without a ton of protection in '38 especially.
In 1938, he won MVP, hitting .349 with 50 Home Runs and 175 RBIs, winning the batting title and leading the league in RBIs. (but not in HRs?) He also led the league in each slash line category - .462 OBP/.704 Slugging %/1.166 OPS.
In 1939, he finished 2nd in the MVP voting, though playing only 124 games, batting .360, leading league with 35 Home Runs, knocked in 105 runs. He again led the league in On Base % at .464/ Slugging % .694/ OPS of 1.158.
A big thank you to my frend for connecting me on the deal and the owner for allowing me to pick up this fantastic bat.

Ben

Another classic Ben. Previous owner knew it was going to a good home I bet.

Re: October Pickups

Re: October Pickups

I picked up a 2014 Francisco Lindor Game Used Bat. This bat is cool because it is one of 2 samples that Chandler sent Lindor. He had a deal with LVS at the time but thought this bat was harder. He was planning to use it in the Futures game so the Chandler logo was removed and replaced with a LVS logo. When he arrived at the futures game he decided to use the regular LVS. This bat was with him at the futures game and was also used at Double A Akron. It comes directly from Lindor via one of his good friends and team mate. The forum is telling me that my photos are too large and I cannot resize. alexandriasenators@gmail.com

Re: October Pickups

That Ramos video is both cool, and, creepy...an explanation why he is turning over Hall of Fame worthy material in a parking garage would be an even better story...

Re: October Pickups

Yep, not sure why, but I too found that video to be a touch creepy.....
Cool gear though!

Congrats! Cool video!

Thanks. A Hall of Fame quality haul! He's now caught 3 no-hitters in the fastest to that point in history. 1 more ties him with Jason Varitek for the catcher's record.
