Philadelphia Phillies All Star Cap

I've got a lot of stuff to post and I'm going to start with this.

RIP Roy Halladay

This isn't a post about merchandise. This is a story.

Roy Halladay died in a plane crash earlier today. He was a great pitcher with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies. Back when the Phillies were good and Mike Zagurski was on the team, I would watch their games. I was really happy when they acquired Halladay from the Blue Jays.

My first trek down San Diego was to see the Phillies for the first time play against the Padres. I was so lucky that day because Roy was pitching. The Padres had Petco Park configured so that the away team's bullpen was along the first base side. On my first trip there, I watched Halladay get ready up close. You could tell how intense and focused he was throwing each pitch. While he was throwing, fans would come up to the railing and take pictures of him or selfies. I took two pictures of him.

 The Phillies won that game 3-1. Roy had pitched eight shutout innings till I decided to move to lower bowl and the Padres hit a couple of his pitches. He struck out fourteen batters on that day.
 

Diamond Era Caps Series

I have a backlog to post on here. Ross has been receiving last seasons Diamond Era Cap and I've been buying them. I almost have the entire set.

I previously bought Yankees and Pirates caps. 

Clearance Store Finds

I haven't posted anything in awhile because I was busy working and I haven't bought anything lately. (Cause I spent all my money on season tickets.) Don't worry, I have a treasure trove of goodies I haven't posted yet.

MLB All Star Game Extravaganza!

I have been waiting a long time to post this. The MLB All Star Game is this Tuesday. The Midsummer Classic features the "best" players in the AL and NL, I have a small collection of trinkets from a few of the past games.
