Simply amazing Brett gamer.

Been awhile since I have picked up anything, but with the "fast" start by Billy Hamilton on the bases I jumped at this gamer. Here is Billy's 2010 game used Billings Mustangs road jersey complete with LOA from the team.

A few recent pickups...

- 1995 Detroit Tigers alternate jersey. Originally planned to be a Sunday alternate, this style was only worn once on May 7, 1995 before the team scrapped the idea.

- 2013 Team USA WBC jersey of J. P. Arencibia. My first GU WBC jersey amongst my 60+ Team USA GU collection.

- 2012 Detroit Tigers World Series name plate of Delmon Young.

Got a bunch of items from an Independent League team (Hawaii Stars) from here in Hawaii. I was lucky enough to be asked to be the official team photographer. It was great for photo matching a bunch of bats. While the majority of the players were using just the generic team issued bats, a few of them had their own personal models. Those were the bats that I asked for from the player. One of the local player on the team is a good friend of Kolten Wong so I asked him if he can talk to Kolten about buying a bat for my collection.

George Brett 1993 GU Bat:

The bat was acquired twenty years ago right out of the dugout at Anaheim Stadium, directly from Brett by forum member Jerry Sage, a local here and a really good guy. I was lucky enough to have Jerry contact me to work out a deal to add this phenomenal bat to my Brett collection. It is definitely one of the most extreme bats I have ever seen, the pictures speak for themselves...
Thank you again, Jerry!

WOW! Love that bat. That's what a well used game bat should look like! Love it!!
