Yesterday I won this 2004 Astros Phil Garner road jersey. Garner was one of my favorite Astros back in the early '80s and hit about half his home runs when I attended, which was kind of weird. Other than Carlos Beltran, he's the guy whose jersey I would want from that season. Not sure when it was worn, and I guess it's possible it's not really a gamer, but for now I'm elated to finally pick something up related to that season:

Wow, great items guys, lets keep them coming.
I found this Reach Mickey Cochrane signature model yesterday, and despite it's condition, I couldn't say no, especially considering the price. I can't see too many of these being out there, but I'm no glove expert. I did find a 1928 ad online for his signature model selling then for 15.00. The stamping were different from mine, but mine was made in Canada and the stamps and cloth patches usually differ from American made models in my experience. Or maybe mine was made later? Anyway, sorry to ramble on.
