Indians "garage sale"

The Indians had what they call a garage sale this morning. A lot of the jerseys were $100 and I probably should have got one of a player *when he played* but I got a Brook Jacoby one when he came back for the all-time Indian team. It has the "100 Seasons Charter Member" patch and is signed, for $50. I didn't see any bats of great batters, so I just ended up with a Matt Lawton game-used with a fair signature and the authenticity hologram for $25. They also had what they called "mystery balls", signed baseballs but they were in brown bags so you couldn't see who signed them. A guy in line thought they were official ML baseballs and it turns out they were so I probably should have got more but I didn't know so I took a chance on one. $5 for Ronnie Belliard. Maybe the neatest thing, at least for the money, was the actual nameplate from Eddie Murray's locker. TEN BUCKS!

I love those team Garage Sales. I ususally go to the White Sox garage sale every year.

I almost had an Albert Belle jersey for $5 a couple of years ago,but it wasn't my size.

I went last year with an empty box so that I could load up on Media Guides from all the teams.I went home with abvout 30 different media giudes,which added up to about $12.

Glad you had a great time there RMB

Um, if they have official game-worn Albert jerseys, I'll pay ya $6 each, and I don't give a flip if they're my size

Ten bucks for anything with Eddie Murray's name on it is dirt cheap, and a great bargain.

Actually, the coolest thing may have been when I showed it to a co-worker. His eyes got big, he just HAD to touch the name plate. I got my ten bucks worth already
