I get the feeling that Oscar Marin is the only one who believes that Kyle Nicolas will ever become a good MLB reliever.

Probably my credential from the game when I sang the national anthem. Followed closely by the foul ball my dad hunted down and then handed to me, saying "I've been wanting to give you one of these for a long time." πŸ₯Ί

Here's a seat cushion from a promotional giveaway from the late 80s. I have so many memories of our beloved New York-Penn League team.

Remembering that time #Pittsburgh fans gave Hughes a standing ovation!

#OpeningDay 4/13/2015, #Pirates reliever Jared Hughes entered the 7th inning with no outs and the bases loaded, & the Buccos clinging to a 2-0 lead.

A DP and a pop out later, he escaped the jam.

Funny enough, the one signature that would be significant is Barry Bonds but it was done in ballpoint pen and has almost completely faded.
