Bara Kevin marar John Lackey me with Duke Snider my brother above my TV I have this really cool wooden sign um actually got this right when Co um started uh I think was made from a with a guy from New Jersey um so I bought that really

Cool out of those four cards of Christy matthewson portrait there is the only one I have they were of the original cards um down there I got some cool stuff on my bottom shelf um some autographed baseballs Mike Patza David R right Juan marelle Yogi barazer Bob Feller if

You’re an autograph collector pretty much everybody’s got a Bob Feller autograph a few more things here here’s uh I didn’t go to it but this is a ticket from David Wright’s final game back in 2018 uh with a tops Now card from that now this card it is autog

I don’t know if that’s a legit Auto though uh years ago I used to write players through the mail and I got this David write one back in like 2006 um there was so I always heard rumors that maybe he used the ghost signer at the time or girlfriend or

Secret so I don’t know so it may not be but um I’ve had it for a long time so I just like putting it in there um is a towel from Keith Hernandez day City Field um some more bobbleheads Frank Thomas Todd Frasier that’s actually Harry right

There now the one with the this one here this is The Cookie Lady um if you’re not familiar with her um she’s very popular down here in Louisville and she hands out well she doesn’t hand out she sells cookies at the Louisville Bats Ballpark and um she’s basically a staple there

And a few years ago they had a bobblehead for her there and then uh it’s a cool photo this is my dad and my cousin back in or my Dad’s cousin Back in 1970 when they used have Banner Day at Shay stadium so they actually go on the

Field um couple random cards there like Wayne corbette he uh he’s from my hometown in Garfield New Jersey oh I just showed you all my names there so big deal uh there’s a 1919 Chicago White Socks uh this is a huge huge pet Rose poster I got this at the national back

In 2010 when it was in Baltimore um I did have a custom framed I think I paid $35 for the poster itself just a few more random things allstar game program actually went to the Home Run Derby in 2018 when I was in Washington it’s probably my favorite

Photo me and my brothers there front of the Twin Towers this photo was taken in June 2001 so just a few months before they knocked the towers down couple more bobbleheads ham and Squints they gave out that was out at the bat Stadium a few years

Back and these glasses these are my hand turning glasses so when I earlier I mentioned that bat I man on the hand turning lath so that that’s I wear glasses so being a prescriptions I it’s hard to wear safety goggles over regular glasses so I had these specially made um

But been years since I’ve worn them obviously but still like to keep them there mitz pennet Yogi Bara photo autograph uh this here 1969 mete book um this was actually my dad so my dad had this when he was a kid and I’ve had it

For a while just got a frame well I didn’t just get a frame but I just put it in a cheap frame got it hanging on the wall uh this here that’s my uh that was my ticket and on the bottom left there that was my hotel room key that was when

I went to the um 2018 allstar game festivities in Washington to go to the home run derby um it was a really cool event it was definitely something I’m really glad I did and I got to cross off my baseball bucket list go to the Home Run Derby it’s my Piaza

Poster and they’re hanging on that cinal sign those are just some of my credentials from different fan fests and and stuff when I was at Slugger they lineup car from a White Socks game back in 2015 signed by Robin ventor when he was manager there this was an old uh display sign

Personalize your bats now this here interesting story about this guy Craig Brazil um didn’t amount to much in the major leagues stiny pretty sure he had a pretty good career over there in Japan but uh went to a game in 2004 when uh Mets playing the Cubs end of the season

Uh Cubs were trying to get to the playoffs um they failed the Mets actually had a hand in keeping them out Mets were horrible that year though don’t exactly remember what the record Wass but uh Craig Brazil he uh actually hit the game-winning Homer walk-off home

Run I think I want to say it was the 11th inning Bott the 11th he hit it and uh that was his first career home run and in it turned out to be his only career home run so I still have that ticket from there and just threw a 2003 tops card in

There Tom sver autograph uh another ticket Stu from a game I went too this was in 2011 um also against the Cubs uh Justin Turner hit a walk-off hit against the Cubs to win the game and it just so happened that year um well for the 20 12 top set Topps used

Uh um that moment as Justin’s uh card there so I wrote him a letter explain that I was at the game and yeah he signed it so it’s pretty cool that I have that ticket stub to go along with the baseball card that he signed and uh

Yeah so I was actually at that game so that was cool got the San Diego chicken actually my wife found that out of Goodwill here think she pay maybe five bucks for it and know just a photo I took I got to go to Incubus concert back in

2019 um took one of the guys that that are it’s in the band on the tour and you know it’s kind of like do you want to go to the concert tonight sure so called my wife said we’re going to Incubus concert and actually watched it from on stage so

That was my pass and then that was a picture I took of Brandon Boyd and then just got some kind of memorability card I threw in there for that so yeah and then you know I got my couch in here with a couple Mets blankets baseball pillow Mets

Pillow now in the corner here it’s empty right now but typically I’ll have my binders in there for my sets um kind of sorting through a few things right now so that’s why it’s empty and uh it’s a pretty cool table I actually made this in high school

Um New Jersey uh 20 something years ago uh actually even back then it was the only one of the only schools that still had a wood shop class so um yeah I made that and I use that in here so a few more bobbleheads and whatnot yeah so that’s my

Uh my little baseball room here
