For Christmas I got this 2015 Adam Liberatore jersey. Its labeled as issued but has several loose threads and a pretty wrinkled wash tag. He isn't the biggest name in the game but Adam and I were separated by a few years but we went to the same high school. When Adam was home on break from college I would catch bullpens for him.

Not a big collector of football memorabilia but I really love these. Alejandro Villanueva game used gloves from 10/2/16 against the Chiefs. If you don't know his story go read. The guy is a beast.

Kendall Wright's game used jersey from the Titans/Jags game Christmas Eve. Gotten to know a few Titans players over the years so this was a nice Christmas present for this Titans fan. Cross posted in "Show me your NFL Stuff"

Got an old Busch stadium 2 chair - the 66 represents the year Busch 2 opened. Story is that this chair was the first chair installed in the stadium and then removed for display purposes.

Another match. HR 100 was hit on August 19th and this bat was MLB authenticated on August 21st as broken, thus there are additional marks on the bat after the HR.

Nice Yadi bat, congrats on the match.

Nice, he was the only pitcher on the 1962 Mets who had a winning record.

Fairly sure these will be my last pick ups for the year.

I accuired Raul Mondesi's 2016 Left and Right batting helmets. These were used for all his non-Friday home games. The Royals wore helmets with gold lettering for all Friday home games in 2016.

Wearing the right handed helmet Raul Mondesi made his first regular season at bat against the Angels on July 26, 2016 after becoming the first player in the history of the MLB to have his MLB debut in the World Series. Wearing the left handed batting helmet he got his first MLB hit on July 27, 2016 which was also his 21st birthday. That made him one of the few players to ever get their first MLB hit on their birthday. He also recorded his first and second career homeruns while wearing the left handed helmet and both against the Tigers in Detroit.

Also posted in the Royals thread (#354 and 355) with more pics and info.
