Re: Royals FanFest 2010

I could be wrong, but I think I remember that On Mother's Day this year Jacobs used his regular black LVS. Either way that is a great price on a pink bat

Pink, and then I think he switched to black.

Re: Royals FanFest 2010

Somewhat of a stretch but did anyone see any Russell Haltiwanger jerseys?

He was a minor league pitcher with KC in 2007 and 2008

Dont remember seeing him. I dont think they had minor league jerseys. They did have some minor league prospects that were invited to spring training. I purchased Dan Cortes and Derrick Robinson jerseys.

Re: Royals FanFest 2010

Less stuff hitting the bat bin today. Almost all Tony Pena Jr, John Buck, and Mike Jacobs at this point. They did have a table with a couple Alex Gordon and Billy Butler unused signed game ready bats. There were a couple of game used Gordon's and Butler's as well, but they went pretty quick and couldnt get my hands on a Gordon. Interestingly the game ready Butler's were 2009 Max Bats, which was weird because I have not seen Billy using a Max Bat except fall 2007 and spring 2008, but these clearly had the 2009 maple testing dot.

I added a Yuniesky Betancourt Marucci blonde bat today to my haul. And a pretty nice Butler bat that I'm trying to photo match right now.

Not much Greinke, one unsigned game used ball from a complete game shutout. And a Greinke signed game used ball from a non-milestone game.. They wanted $400 each on the Greinke balls.

Lots of players milling about today, Eisenreich, Balboni, Willie Wilson, etc.

Any sign of any black "Kansas City" jerseys? I'd be interested if there were.
Thanks,

CAMPWEST-Were there any kyle farnsworth items?

Just got home from day 1. All in all, pretty good show. The charity store had fewer jerseys than usual, mostly coaches and relief pitchers. The best position player I saw was Esteban German. Jerseys were mostly cool base and spring training. Prices ranged from $40-60.

There were a couple dozen bats rotating in as things sold. A LOT, I mean a LOT of Mike Jacobs bats. I was talking to one of the equipment guys and he said Jacobs broke so many bats they were placing orders nearly every week for him. A handful of Tony Pena JR and a couple other minor players.

I picked up six bats, 3 with MLB holos. Mike Jacobs 2009 LVS Anniversary. Jose Guillen XBat. Mark Grudzielanek 2008 Red & Black Max Bat. Brayan Pena 2009 two tone Marucci. John Buck Old Hickory. And Miguel Olivo two tone XBat.

Not much of interest in the silent auction.
