Bob's (skyking26) memorabilia collection

[markize]

each piece of game used memorabilia seen in this thread is the property of Bob (skyking26). I am posting these to help him out as he is a dinosaur in getting these pics taken and posted. I will try to get a bunch up each day.

ok, Bob, feel free to comment on these yourself as you can do it better than I.

I'm noticing that some of these are a bit blurry, so you can re-take, and email me.

I'm loving the McGwire stuff. That bat is pounded with use.

[chakes89]

How long is that bat?

It looks like a slow-pitch softball bat. haha

Great looking stuff Bob (I hope you're still around to read this). I love the multiple gloves...awesome!!

[Kong's Landing]

I visited Bob's room earlier this year for a trade & tiger's game trip. There are many terrific items that are not shown. However Bob learned one thing about me that he didn't know before.......................He has to break out the carpet cleaner to suck up my saliva from each of my visits.

Sorry about the mess Bob
Happy Kongdom to you

Peace ole' chum

:D Nice job Mark on getting those photos on there. He & I are always in contact. That 73 full uni looks sweet and having a home & road of the 4 major teams (3 of Oakland) & Tropics home & road are sweet too. He needs to expand, but wifey has other ideas.

We share the passion !!!!

Way to go....nice job again Mark.

Roger,

There is talk around here about Thome possibly coming back to the White Sox. For your sake hope he heads to Baltimore. Any luck finding a Thome Dodger Jersey ????

[WadeInBmore]

For your sake hope he heads to Baltimore.

God that would be wonderful! He would join Harold Baines on our list of treasured DH's. Left handed power, a veteran pressence, and a guy who can play ball!!!!!!! Bet he might even get a game or two at first if he comes our way...unfortunately he wont be in the running for a ring unless the baseball guides smile down upon us!

Nah, Eric.
It don't look good. I have tried everyone I can think of. Nobody can hook me up. Even check back with an old connection. Probably couldn't afford one anyway as they would probably be high :( .
Yes, I wouldn't mind either way. Any team that rolls through Balitmore, I can see him. Only 3 hrs away.:D

Awesome Collection!!!!

I just started collecting 1970' 80's and 90's Braves bats. They are a ton of fun to collect. I still like my Devil Rays collection, but the older stuff is just freaking cool!!!!

Unfortunately or maybe not, most prefer the newer and more available mass produced modern stuff.

I just got a 1973-75 Vic Correl Braves bat. I remember as a little kid looking at his baseball card. How many of his bats do you all (forum members) see?

That is what I thought!!!

Keep up the great work Bob!!!

Looks like Bob is drinking beer and Kingman has an empty wine glass in front of him. There has to be a story there! LOL

Hey Andrew,

Dave was in a good mood that evening & had a few glasses of wine before we had arrived. All he wanted to talk about was primarily college hoops. F.Y.I Cobra "Dave Parker" was sitting at the table behind Bob.
