Mike Zagurski Lakeland Blueclaws Bobblehead

 I get eBay notifications when anything Mike Zagurski comes up. A couple of weeks ago I was informed that someone was selling a Zagurski bobblehead.  I don't go out of my way to collect bobbleheads but I made an exception.

Another Cubs Jersey

So this might be the last jersey I buy this year/decade. How appropriate I end the year with this.

After Spring Training was done this year, I went to the MLB Auction website to look for this jersey. It didn't show up and I would look on occasion. A few months before the season ended, I contacted the Chicago Cubs and was directed to a website that didn't help me at the time. Last week, I decided again to contact the Cubs and to my surprise they had one left. So I got it...

Journeyman Jersey Collecting Brewers Edition

Honestly couldn't think of a good title for this post. 

On the previous post on this blog,

A Brewers Return Post

I'm back. I've been really busy, plus I haven't bought anything that's exciting post about. 

A Slight Rant

The Milwaukee Brewers auctioned off their Fourth of July jerseys last week. Mike Zagurski's wasn't included with them. Kind of strange but maybe it will listed later. 

This upsets me.

More Angels Merchandise

Small Mike Zagurski update: he has an infinite ERA with the Brewers. He didn't have a good outing in his first appearance and he's still with team. Also, the Brewers and every team in MLB is wearing their patriotic jerseys, which means I know which jersey I'm going to get next.  

On to the main event...

Mike Zagurski is back. Breaking news.

I'm interrupting the blog and it's many posts about jerseys I won at auction I didn't want and the many hats I don't have room for to post this: Mike Zagurski is back in majors with the Brewers. This is great cause the 4th of July is coming up and maybe I can score one of his jerseys when they auction it off. Most teams do that coming off a special occasion.


Oh I will have a hat post coming up in the next few days.

End of the Year Top Five Jerseys I Bought

Today is the annual list of jerseys I bought throughout the year. This list was hastily made and completely arbitrary. Thanks for your support through the last two years.  I've got unexciting stuff to post next week, plus Padres FanFest is coming soon next year; January 13th to be exact, so I'll have a lot to post then.

The Tale of the Three Zagurski Jerseys

Where do I begin? Awhile ago, I bought a Mike Zagurski Pittsburgh Pirates road jersey from an eBay seller who lists many Pirates, Mets, Cubs, and Mariners jerseys. When I bought it, they had a batting practice jersey listed for more than $60 and I wasn't going to buy it.

Fauxback Jersey

Sometimes I get that feeling; I could really use another Mike Zagurski jersey. He played in the minors for two different teams last season. The Erie Seawolves had a bunch of jerseys on sale on their site.

Mike Zagurski's Bat?

I get emails from eBay whenever anything with Mike Zagurski gets listed. I was a little bit surprised to see this. I'm very confused by this because:

1. He's a middle reliever and wouldn't have his own bat. I know some starting pitchers on NL teams have their own bats but every other pitcher borrows.

2. Would a minor league team like the Indianapolis Indians order him a bat? That costs money for something he wouldn't use.

3. His number with the Indians was 23 not 59 with the Phillies. Maybe the seller is wrong for stating it was from the Indians. 

I might make an offer but I wouldn't pay what they're asking.
 

Top Five Jerseys I Bought In 2016

With the year ending tomorrow, I thought I would look back at the top five jerseys I bought in 2016. I based this list on what I liked to wear the most, rarity, and price.

IronPigs

So I have Mike Zagurski jersey collection. I know it's a little bit odd. I occasionally go on eBay to see if there are any of his jerseys listed. A couple of weeks ago, there were two listed by separate sellers. One was a Pittsburgh Pirates Batting Practice jersey and the other was an Lehigh High Valley IronPigs Home jersey

Authentic Finds

First off, Sports Authority's clearance sale is now 30%-50% off. I believe it would be a good time to buy licensed merchandise because there is still a good selection of merchandise available. I went yesterday and there weren't any Angels jerseys left. There were still plenty of Ducks, Dodgers, and Chargers licensed gear available.

There are bids to buy some of the stores. We'll see what happens.

Journeyman Jersey Collecting / Mike Zagurski Appreciation Post

I have a problem. I have a large collection Mike Zagurski jerseys. I should be in the Guinness Book of Records for it.
