When I opened the door yesterday, I found this, only wrapped in brown paper:
If you can't tell what that is, here's a better look:
Hmmm.... TriStar? Futures?
Holy crap it's an autographed bat! And since it was sent to me by a Yankees fan, it's probably an Oriole!At this point I was pretty ecstatic, and very intrigued. Who could be inside? Nolan Reimold? Matt Wieters (ha!)? Brian Matusz?
Well... I opened the box, and saw this:
That is a bat, and what appears to be a nameplate. What's that you say? A closer look? Well that's a great idea!
SWEET! Arrieta is top 50 prospect, and should be with the O's next season, if all goes well. It was also signed the day before my birthday. This is quite possibly the greatest thing that anyone has ever sent me out of the blue. Could the blogosphere be any more awesome? Me thinks not!What? The bat? Yeah, I guess we can have a look at that.
Yep, there it is. How about some close ups:
It's numbered 40/48!
Thanks a ton Slette! This is the first autographed bat I've owned, and it was an incredibly awesome thing to just up and send somebody for no reason. I will be sending you some stuff in return, so be on the lookout.I gotta get something to display this bad boy...

That's pretty sweet. Where the hell do you even get something like that?
ReplyDeleteI hope this Jed Arrigeeta fella works out!
VERY SWEET! One day I will get packages like that...
ReplyDeleteCertainly awesome! I don't think I've ever even seen an autographed bat in person let alone one signed by a plyer from my favorite team!
ReplyDeleteI won it at the local card shop as a part of some grand opening giveaway... figured it would be in better hands if it went to an O's fan.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to prove that all Yankee fans aren't bastards, one blogger at a time!
Pretty sweet wood. They have those at one of my local card shops. I don't know that they've sold any yet.
ReplyDelete@slette - I haven't had many good things to say about most Yankees fans. Convince me otherwise. Please.
Again, the kindheartedness of bloggers. It warms my cockles.
Gint-A-Cuffs reminder. Get to it, 'Cuffers.
NICE
