Nate,
Neat Petralli jersey! You probably already know this already, but this jersey was used in September 1993 after the passing of Eddie Chiles.

Back in August/Sept pick up thread I posted the clock I aquired that was given to Phil Niekro in 1969 by the Braves 400 Club for being their pitcher of the year(re-posted photos below). Well I decided to contact the Braves 400 Club to see if they had any info on the presentation. They were able to send me a picture of Niekro recieving the clock at what they call their Gameboree. Also said that the reason they gave him a clock was that he was "accused of taking naps between innings and the alarm clock is supposed to wake him up in time for the next inning."

Awesome Jonathan! Too cool!

Hi Jonathan,
Just curious the clock pictured seems to have the sweep or small hand where the clock you have doesnt. Also the names on the dials top and bottom look to also be a little different. Is that the case?

Thanks Scott!!!

Hi Al. The small hand is broken off, when you open up the front glass door in person you can see where it snapped off. The bottom name in the photo I took is darker in person.

Thanks Jonathan, I couldnt see that it was broken off. Great pick up enjoy it! Al

Thanks Al!!

Thanks! Correct you are! Don't see many '93's out there with both patches.

Nate, the only foul ball I ever caught was hit by Geno Petralli, in 1991. I was sitting in an aisle seat and it zipped off the tip of his bat right down the aisle and through the opening that lead to the concessions. I jumped up in time to see it heading for the concrete wall next to the ice cream stand, slid feet first with hands out, went right through a ~10-yr old kid holding an ice cream cone, and caught the ball. The kid went flying over me and lost his cone. I got up to give him the ball, feeling bad about it (but it was an unavoidable collision), and he unleashed a salvo of curse words at me - the angriest little cretin I've ever encountered. So I walked off with the ball and handed it to my girlfriend. An usher came over and took it from her. I love kids, but have no regrets over that one - that kid is probably sitting in a jail cell somewhere now.

February Pickups
 

I have had a good month, the season pass is by far and away my favorite

Wow Bob, what at month!!
Were you in NYC at Heritage?

HA
 

No, unfortunately not, the weather made it prohibitive to even try so I did it all online. One of the better auctions (high-end material wise IMO) in the last few years.

I agree- great material in this auction!
