fake wigginton helmet at D-RAY GAME

[jake33]

I was at the rays vs. dodgers game last night and I saw a "game used" ty wigginton batting helmet by the ryas which was autographed and it sold for $250, I askes the person in charge. "was that worn by Wigginton" they replied with "absolutely". Hmmm, the problem was that it was for a LEFT HANDED batter.

I called them out on it that it was clearly incorrect and the guy running the auction who worked PR for the rays said Wigginton used to be a switch hitter. I then called him a liar and said he had no idea what he was talking about and that they should end the auction and not sell it, regarless so idiot bought the helmet for $250...

Wow lol Now that's an odd one.

Makes you wonder how we can trust buying our items if the players own team can't get it right.

I've purchased a Tampa Bay TBTC jersey once for their charity, Rays of Hope. But what does,.."by the ryas.." mean?

by the ryas means that I was in a hurry when i was typing and I made a mistake, I am greatly sorry so the error and please get something better to worry about.

I started to bid on the helmet (actually placed a low bid of $120) then looked at the helmet again and noticed the outline of where a #9 used to be and was removed , also no #21 . I asked the guy that runs the Ted Williams Museum that was running the auction, and said he used the helmet was maybe in BP then if not a game . When I gave him a look that what he said didn't make sense . He did say he would get me an answer .

Well the next day at Sundays game I saw him again and he said it was a game used helmet that was only signed by Wigginton .

Hey Jake were you carrying around Wilson Betemit games on Saturday ?

that should read Wilson Betemit gamers .....

they also had a Carl Crawford X-Bat gamer up for auction last Saturday . When I left it was at $170 . On Sunday I asked what it went for , and he said over $300 . It was an OK bat , but had a nasty crack with a piece missing and the XBat label was coming up
