I don't agree that it's past the line of stalker-ish. A little odd but not anywhere close to stalker-ish. It would be stalker-ish if he broke into the team clubhouse and stole them and then sniffed them regularly.

Just finished dinner and this subject is making me nauseated.

I can just see and smell the foot fungus spreading throughout the rest of your collection.

This thread has been good for many laughs. It brings back the one-sided conversation that Crash Davis was delivering to Nuke LaLoosh in Bull Durham:

"Think classy, you'll be classy. Once you win 20 in The Show, then you can let the fungus grow on your shower shoes and the press will think you're colorful.

"Until then, it means you're a slob!"

Are we talking about the Braun blue shower shoes?

As disgusting as some might find shower shoes to be, I know of at least one that, to me, is worse.

In the late 1970s, when genuine game-used equipment was still a fledgling part of the hobby and both supply and demand were limited, one New Jersey collector, on his price list, offered game used jock straps and under pants of Phillies players .

Can anyone top that?

Top that? No, but more recent examples of Sportsworld offering used jocks/underwear up (the framed pair from Papelbon always makes me laugh):

I do not collect anything under the waist. Except, I do have a pair of game used catcher's shin guards......
