OT Thread: Memorabilia Edition UPDATE: Shameless Promotion
So earlier today (Sunday), I finally bought my first professional sports jersey. I decided that since I am going to get a jersey, I better go all the way and get an authentic one. JI suggested on an earlier thread that I should go for the alternative rather than the home white because it will stain less. Plus, it looks much cooler, so I decided to get it.
Choosing which player wasn't hard, ever since becoming a devoted Mariners fan in 2005 (four years and counting!), Felix was by far my favorite player. He was basically supposed to be the icon for the new up and coming Mariners under the now failed Bavasi regime.

He is still very young though, and has yet to hit his prime, and is under Mariners control for several more years, so I figure between Felix and Ichiro, Felix was a safe bet to invest $230 on an authentic jersey. (Not to mention I saved 10% by buying a couple of tickets while I was at the team store) Plus, I am glad to give him whatever royalty I can, since ownership is shafting him by not extending him long term as of yet.
I decided in order to make this OT thread not LLLJ, that this could be a place for us all to share our various memorabilia items. I took the liberty to take a couple pictures of not only my Felix jersey, but also my grease-stained Edgar autographed ball (Edgar was eating a cheeseburger when he signed it). Now all I need to do for the Felix jersey to leap beyond the value of the Edgar ball is to somehow be able to hang out with Felix at his apartment for a day and get an autograph and a picture of me with him.
So, does anyone have any cool memorabilia that they can share?
Edit: I also forgot to ask to anyone that owns an authentic jersey, is it ok to throw it into the wash with the rest of the clothes, or does it have to be taken to the cleaners?
Edit #2: Shameless Promotion!
So at the company I work for, J&D's (The makers of Bacon Salt and Baconnaise), they were looking into doing Bacon body spray, they found a supplier of flavored personal lube. They decided to post this picture on their blog, and it has started to gain nationwide attention, and now I post it here for shiggles. Now they are going to put this plan into action and for all you bacon lovers, you will be able to spread your bacon love into the bedroom!

Also, I recently bought the re-release of 'Ten'
And does anyone know if Pearl Jam will be re-releasing all their albums, or just Ten? I really want to buy Vs. now, but I also don’t want to buy it right away if they are going to re-release it in 3 months.

My mom brought me a business card signed by Buck O'Neil
about eight or nine years ago. She was the same plane as Buck O’Neil, and when the flight got delayed, Buck O’Neil walked around, signed autographs, hugged people, and then went to the cockpit and told stories over the intercom until the plane was cleared for takeoff. It was pretty special. I read Joe Posnanski’s book about Buck O’Neil a little while ago, and it really made me believe that he’s one of the greatest, most consequential baseball men who ever lived (right up there with Branch Rickey, Rickey Henderson, Roberto Clemente, Curt Flood, and various others – this might be a good OT thread, come to think of it). So I feel really grateful that my Mom was able to meet Buck O’Neil and tell me what it was like to meet him. He gave a planeful of people a story to tell for the rest of their lives.

O'Neil was cool because he made people remember the Negro Leagues
more than anyone else (I realized I should probably say why I like him so much). He was the driving force behind the creation of the Negro League Museum and the entry of a number of Negro League players into the Hall of Fame.

I got to meet him sorta at a Portland card show several years ago...
I don’t even think I got an autograph, since at that time I was so braindead stupid that I didn’t really know who he was.
I kick myself every time I think about that. My brother-in-law got several of his autographs and sat there chatting with him. I, on the other hand, was an idiot.

I see
It’s inconvenient that they don’t mention when the next one will be coming out. I assume it will be three months though, since they have eight albums to re-release over two years.
And I am just listening to the remix of Ten, and “Black” has to be one of the best songs written and played by any band ever.

They wash exceptionally well, but I don’t know if you would want to treat a jersey you bought for $230 the same that you would treat a jersey given to you in high school.

I have 3 Mariners jerseys.
One is Clement. One is Rowland-Smith. One is blank. I’m convinced that any jersey I buy is a curse. My last few local jersey purchases have been those two (Clement fails, Rowland-Smith has sub-optimal stuff), Julian Peterson, Darrell Jackson and Rashard Lewis. So yeah, if I get someone’s jersey, they will soon fail. Sorry Seattle.
Also have a few autographs, like a Freddy Garcia signed 2003 (?) all star ballot and a ball signed by a few Mariners including Aaron Taylor(!) and Mark McLemore.

The only memorabilia I have is a 2004 tops Felix baseball card I got him to sign when he was in Tacoma.
And a ball that I believe has some of the 1995 team on it. At least I think it’s 1995, I’m not sure, some of the names are almost impossible to read. My mom knew a guy who worked at the Kingdome for a few years in the mid 90’s who was able to get the ball.
The only names I can tell off hand looking at it are:
Dave Flemings(I think)
Marc Newfield(who?)
Tino Martinez
Billy Something, starts with a R
Alex Diaz
Ken Griffey Jr.
Norm Charlton
Lou Pinella
Edgar Martinez
Rich Armaral
Randy Johnson
Chris Bosio
Mike Blowers
And there’s about 10 signatures that I have no idea on.
You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.

Marc Newfield was once the 17th ranked prospect in all of baseball.
By 1995, some of the shine had worn off, but he was still a big-time prospect. I still can’t believe he didn’t hit.
The Bill R is probably Bill Risley, a hard-throwing set-up guy in ’94-95. That guy was great for those two years, had another decent year, and then fell off quickly. Think he may have had TJ in there somewhere.

You do realize that with a few superstar-level exceptions, and unless it’s explicity negotiated by the player, the players don’t get a piece of the action on merch sold with their name on it, right? Not that you shouldn’t have bought it, but just so you know. As far as washing, what I do with my soccer shirts is I wash them in the machine and hang them dry, and have never had a problem.

For stuff like that, you're always best to hand wash in a basin with Woolite or whatever.
If you can’t be bothered to do that, at least be sure to turn your jersey inside out before washing to the stitching and whatnot doesn’t get rocked.

I did not know that.
Not really a deal breaker to buying the jersey, but that’s too bad. Felix still deserves all the support he can get, he hasn’t quite reached super star level like Ichiro yet.

I, too, have an alternative Felix jersey
My most prized Mariners-related possession is a Griffey-hit foul ball I caught in a 1995 game/Big Unit shutout. I know one isn’t supposed to get more than one autograph per ball, but I’s don’t’s cares, cos I had Felix, Edgar, and JJ sign it (and… cough… Bavasi). I also have a Griffey-autographed ball, and a ball for lesser signatures – Sean Green, Brandon Morrow, and Cliff Floyd.

Last year at Spring Training..
I got Buhner on a bat, and he wrote “Bone” underneath it. I recently bought a Felix signed ball and for my b-day last week my gf got me an authentic signed Felix jersey (#54). And a year or so ago I kinda splurged and got a 04 Felix Chrome Refractor autograph. Its graded and whatnot and is pretty sweet.
At Spring Training I got Mike Cameron to sign a ball which was cool.

About to turn 30 this year, planning to start a family, and on the brink of free agency’s windfall, Ankiel sees contentment where others see quiet. There is only one thing he’s thinking about changing.
His name.
Ankiel has been preoccupied recently about when it is age appropriate for him to shorten his given name, Richard, to “Dick” instead of “Rick.” Some friends and clubhouse denizens have already taken to calling him “Dick” this spring. He calls it an instant “ice-breaker.”
That Dick Ankiel, always redefining himself.

And it was from the one-game playoff against the Angels in 1995, and it was hit by Edgar, so of course it is priceless to me. Someday I hope to have the chance to have him autograph it.
And then a few weeks ago I got a signed Felix photo at a charity auction. Nice.

I "caught" a ball at a Spokane Indians game last summer sitting about 15 rows up near third.
I was talking to my friend, turned my head, and missed one swing. The batter fouled a ball off which hit the wall two rows behind our seats and ricocheted directly into my back. At no point did I ever even know the ball was coming. On the plus side, I got a free Indians T-shirt out of it. Too bad the damn shirt has the Rangers logo on the back.

Hmm.
a Moyer jersey (in mesh — I’m cheap). I had to spell the name and number combination for the gal at the team store. Apparently she had no idea who the #3 starter was. Although, he might have moved up to being #2 by then.
an Ichiro ball from the 2001 Fanfest (on a battered ball found under the picnic table at the Peoria complex by the bullpens)
a Moyer ball, from a very sparsely-attended signing in the SeaTac mall, a bp ball (which almost hit me in the head as I stared at it coming towards me through my binoculars— it was snagged by a pro before it got to me) & the Olmedo Seanz lap-caught foul ball from the Kingdome.
various photos I’ve taken of various players & subsequently signed by said-players. also a few random signatures on hats (such as JR House on a Pirates hat from the 2001 Futures game)
a signed 8×10 of Buhner which I won at a restaurant in Bremerton, only because of the ticket under my plate. It could go live with someone who really, really wanted it.
a promotional ball signed by Goose Gossage a year before the HOF vote, given to me by someone who stood in line for it at a conference, even though he had no idea who Gossage was. It too could go live with someone who really, really wanted it.
giveaway tchotckes like a Mariner yo-yo (sitting on a bed of confetti from the last Dome game), a train car, a lunch-box, a batting helmet, snowglobes …

I just realized something.
With Bonds still theoretically available, we could form an outfield that would dominate the shit out of the 1990s. Think about it, Bonds, Ichiro, Griffey. At this point you teach Buhner how to play 1B and show Paul Sorrento the door, keep Edgar at DH, have a young kid named Rodriguez coming up through the system….

From the Wiki on Punch Imlach, former GM of the Buffalo Sabres
In the 1974 entry draft, Imlach—frustration with the excessive tedium and length of that year’s draft proceedings—deliberately selected an imaginary Japanese center, Taro Tsujimoto, supposedly of the Tokyo Katanas of the Tokyo Katanas, in the 11th round (183rd overall). Only after weeks had passed did the league discover that Tsujimoto did not in fact exist. Today, the league officially records the 183rd selection of the 1974 entry draft as an “invalid claim”

NHL draft
This year’s draft includes the charming story of the NHL arguing to the Rangers that, despite the fact that he died, Alexei Cherepanov is able to be drafted again this year, meaning the Rangers won’t get a compensatory pick following the kid’s mysterious death.
Somehow, people thought this was in bad taste, and have instead decided that Cherepanov’s worth a 2nd round pick.
Remember when Gary Bettman was supposed to take the NHL to new heights based on his marketing savvy?

You were so close from coming from the depths of despair too.
but after that happened it seems that god just doesn’t want you to ever be happy.

Why do my public faliure have to come against my biggest, most obnoxious foe
at the worst possible moment, on the biggest possible stage?
Alas, thankfully it has been not immortalized in any sort of moving picture.

A moving image would destroy better men
I mean the police sketch of the incident is bad enough

Why is it that every time we have clinched our final playoff berth it's been against the Angels?
’95 One-Game, ’97 Division, ’00 Wild Card on the final game of the year, ’01 AL Division with the flag….
Aw crap, we don’t play Anaheim down the stretch this year but the second week in September. If we’re gonna win it this year, we gotta surprise the shit out of people and run away with it.

Mike Blowers and Bill Kreuger both playing in this game
Wonder if they knew what the fates held in store for them a decade later.
And WOW, Blowers has one hell of a mullet.

He's a man.
The strength of his jaw alone could break many a lesser man.

Touche
Probably has something to do with why Randy is still getting paid to play baseball and Blowers is locked in a booth with Dave Sims.
