April Pick-Ups

That is a really great idea - I'll make a point of keeping my eyes open for special balls next time I go to a game.

Scott, I don't think they pay very close attention to the pieces they sell at Safeco. A couple of years ago I found this Mariners dugout line-up card in the clearance sale stack for a paltry amount. When I got home I looked up the game and found that it was from K-Rod's MLB record setting 62nd save. I will readily admit I had no idea that it was from that game prior to purchasing it. However you would think they would have looked it up prior to discounting it

Here are a couple of recent odd ball pick ups for my 1971 Pirates collection. The first is a line-up card and program from a three game pre-season series the Bucs played in Panama. I am currently kicking myself for missing the ticket stub that was listed with these. I cant imagine I will ever see another example.

Went to a minor league game last night and got this bat that big money Rockies prospect David Dahl broke in the first game of a doubleheader. I have both ends of the bat but it is missing a chunk around the handle. I'll probably get it signed at a later game.
