    Here's a Bobby Cox uniform from his days with Yankees -- it has his number 14 on the back -- was handed down to the Oneonta farm club as Cox didn't stick with the Yankees in 1970.

    As to actual, relative value, I can only speak to what item I would want and value more than another. I would take the jersey Mel Stottlemyre, Sr. wore a couple of years ago, briefly, as a special coach/advisor for the Diamondbacks, over any jersey he ever wore as a Major League pitcher or pitching coach...but that's just me and my collecting interests talking, the Snakes being my area of obsession.
    Godwulf... can you email me? (TNT_Toys@yahoo.com) thanks...

    I've got a Melvin DBacks fungo, on which someone wrote, "Wonder Boy". (I heard a rumor that Grace did it, but he denies it.) I've been bugging various people with the Charleston Riverdogs for three years now to sell me one of Greg Colbrunn's fungos. I'm jazzed about Matty Williams getting an official coaching job with the DBacks this year, as I'm sure he's gonna have some fungos made, and I'm gonna have to track one down for the Matty Wall.

    Here's the inscription on my Yount fungo, for those who haven't seen it.

    One of my favorite Manager's items is a field jacket that Buck Showalter wore for the first part of the season in '99. He apparently really hates long sleeves - something we have in common - 'cause he had the sleeves of his jackets cut off to above the elbow, and he had them sew it up the front so it would never come open. (A control freak? Buck? )

    Another favorite item is the notorious Robin Yount fungo bat that he inscribed "fondly" to the player who cracked it. I know I've told that story at least once.

    I enjoy getting coaches and managers jerseys on both the minor league and major league levels. I just bought some coaches jerseys at the Phillies Holiday sale the weekend of December 5th and 6th including Rod Nichols and Greg Legg. I also have gotten coaches jerseys at the minor league levels.
