Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
I was at the store tonight, and saw one of the Hair-a-tage NIKE shirts with "Pops" Willie Stargell on them. I went home and showed my wife some clips of him, and she noticed I do the same bat twirl while I am waiting for the pitch (I play in a summer baseball league, as well as softball for my company) he invented. I told her how all the kids growing up outside of the 'Burg did that twirl, emulating the man, Willie.
Sadly, I have NO game used Pirates gear anymore (just a team signed cap), as their ownership has turned me off since Willie's passing in 2001. But it made me nostalgic, and I am thinking of getting back into collecting them.
So, I would love to see your Bucco collections on here! Especially with the team being at .500 this "late" in the season.

I'll start your Pirates thread off with my Pops Stargell game used Bicentennial bat. It's the only game used item of his that I own and hope to one day own one of his game used jerseys.

THAT is awesome, Dewey! Man, I would love to own anything Willie game used. Heck, even an authentic autograph would be nice at this point.
My absolute favorite, and the classiest player I ever rooted for.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Thanks! I've posted this before but Willie's grew up in my hometown and went to my old high school. Our high school field is named after him. I recently picked up a couple of his Mitchell & Ness jerseys because that's the closest I'm going to get to one anytime soon!

Hey Joba,
I used to have some Bucco SGA bobbleheads, but sold all of those or gave them to family after moving from coast to coast years ago. I will try to dig up an old photo of them tonight.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Wow, a Buccos thread, alright!
Pictured are my game used jerseys (l to r, Aramis Ramirez, Adam Laroche, Nate McLouth and Fernando Gonzalez) and hats (Rick Rhoden). My favorite is the 1973 Gonzalez because it still has the commerative "21" patch for Roberto Clemente, something very rare since almost all of these jerseys were stripped of the patch and recycled through the minors. But Gonzalez got to take his home (I have an LOA from him).

Four items, the best of which is a 2001 9/11 cap given to me by Kevin Young. The US flag on the side is directly embroidered into the cap fabric. The 2002-07 versions just had a flag patch heat-pressed on the cap fabric.
I also have a 2002 Bruce Tanner cap, and BP jerseys of John Grabow and Dave Clark.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Although an Orioles fan I really like the different early Pirates knits. I would like to find an early 70's road and the yellow and black versions from the late 70's early 80's. Here's what I have so far. From what I can tell the first is a Gene Clines 1970-71 jersey. I haven't been able to pinpoint the year. The 2nd is a 1978 Jerry Reuss.

Love the 70's Bucs jerseys! My all time favorite baseball uniforms are theirs from that decade. Be it the mustard yellows, or the bumble bee softball pullovers, to the civil war caps.

Thank you very much! I became a big fan of "Uncle Bill" after meeting him at a couple of signings. Apart from these Pirates jerseys, I have several of his Mets gamers (1984-1989) and one from his championship yr with the Marlins. I had the chance to land one of his Phillies jerseys but never was able to agree on a price.

Not the best pict of the bobbleheads, but my old SGA of Pops, Roberto, Jason Kendell, The Parrot, Pokey Reese and Jason Bay. Super Mario is in there as well.
Also included a picture of "The Cobra", who I met at a signing in SF. Super nice guy, was charging only $20 and loved hearing that I rooted for him as a child in the 'Burg...mainly because of this (last picture) and because he had that bad@ss nickname. One of the HOF's true omission travesties.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
As stated before: Pics of my tabata,walker, alvarez, and cutch bats. Note the nob on the cutch bat. Easy photo match to his homerun last year verse josh johnson (mlb authenticated to have broken the following game). In addition, I think I have a photo match to an earlier game in the month when he got hit in the head vs the reds and hit a hr the nex game. Also, tabata, walker, and alvarez bats are from their rookie year!

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!
Pirates team signed cap from a game I attended at the Oakland Coliseum in 2004. Got most of the sigs from players coming off of the BART ramp, including my favorite player Craig Wilson, Jack Wilson, Manager Lloyd McClendon and Oliver Perez, among others.
Best part of this is when Craig came up to bat, this guy in front of me, sitting between two girls, kept yelling "look at Goldie locks! Love the hair, Goldie!" Wilson promptly smacked a three run homer, and I stood up behind him, clapping "Way to go Goldie! Nice HR Goldie!" His two lady friend were cracking up laughing at him, while he scowled at me. My wife's absolute favorite memory EVER at a ball game we attended together :).

Jeff Bagwell Pittsburgh Three Rivers Stadium Home Run Marker w/ Team LOA
This marker commemorates the 9th upper deck HR hit in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium history. This marker was placed over the spot where Bagwell blasted a roughly 460 ft HR into the left field seats in 1991. It came with a team LOA issued at the auction for stadium assets in 2001 after Three Rivers closed.

Used to be my favorite part of Three Rivers in the 80's when I was a kid, me and my buddies roaming the empty, cavernous upper decks in search of the HR seat markers, many hit by our beloved "Pops" Stargell!

That's really cool. As someone with one of these markers, I would love to know a bit more about them. Did they place them over the seats? Did anyone ever sit up there, or did they preclude people from sitting in any seat with a marker on it? It would be neat to find out more about these artifacts.

From my memory, we did sit in those seats, basically just to say we did, and they had painted numbers on the seat back (facing out to be seen, where your back would rest). I also remember the views from up there were horrible and it was rare anyone was ever sitting up there anyway!
