I know Gantry, JoeDirt and company are gonna kill me because this thread already exists and I just can't find it anywhere....sorry!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the topic of what RBI related memoribilia do you own??
I own:
- a Tom Henke autographed baseball
- an autographed picture of Matt Nokes
- Andre Dawson autographed photo
- an email from Bert Blyleven.
PRETTY WEAK SHIT GUYS.....SORRY!
I have a Willie Randolph autographed ball. I still always pinch hit for him though.
I started a thread for pictures of RBI memorabilia (http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=1661) several months ago... not much stuff made it on there, though. I don't recall any threads just listing the stuff we have, although admittedly I didn't search all that hard. I should bump that thread with a picture of my new Sandberg bobblehead.
As for my memorabilia (not counting baseball cards; I probably have several of most RBI-ers), I have Sandberg and Puckett bobbleheads, and I used to have Sandberg, Puckett, and Viola Starting Lineup figures, although they disappeared in my parents' house somewhere. Puckett's Starting Lineup figure was incredibly thin. I also have programs from four or five Twins games in which some of the RBI Twins played, and a program from when the Twins unveiled their all-time team (Puckett, Hrbek, Gaetti, Gagne, Bush, Viola, Blyleven, Reardon, and Molitor all made the team).
After I got my Arcade machine, I got some Starting Lineup figures of Arcade players to put on top of the machine. I got a few in one lot on Ebay for maybe $10, I think Banks, Williams, Bench, Dimaggio, and Mantle. But not certain.
- 2 Danny Heep game used bats
autographs:
-"Drunk"Willie Hernandez
-Kevin Seitzer
-George Brett
-Kirk Gibson
-Danny Heep
-Eric Davis
-Jose Oquendo
-Phil Cavaretta 1940's store model glove
-Kevin Seitzer's dignity(I struck him out)

I have:
a Jeffrey Leonard game used bat!
&
a Will Clark autoghraphed ball.
Most of my autographs got stolen but at least I still have my autographed ball of the 88 Astros and a bunch of Starting lineups.
My goal is to get some RBI'ers to sign the actual game cartridge.

When and how did you strike out Kevin "Alka" Seizer (hate him in RBI by the way)

truly an honor that can never be taken away... too bad we had to remind you he was an RBI'er, although he isn't much of one. anway, you're probably the only dee-nee'r to be able or will ever be able to say that. so "a winner is you!"

Of course, we really should ask, how many hits does Seitzer have off you? Cause he never got a hit off me :)
yeah ultimate, i like that, seitzer's never had a hit off me either.
2shay
But have you ever had the chance to play in an actual game with former MLBers
2shayer
We know, we suck, but just answer the question, how many hits.
1-3 with an rbi 2b off the LF wall-curve in
Flyout RF-curve away
The team Setizer is on also has Jeff Montgomery and Danny Jackson. In their early 40's, but still nasty.
I have a shitload of RBI autographs...I should dig 'em up and post 'em....but off the top of my head, I have these autographs:
Mattingly, Boggs, Brett 8 x10 together all signed
Will Clark
Kirby Puckett
Alan Trammell
Burks (10 or so...met him...most of you know the story)
Ozzie Smith
Nolan Ryan
Jose Cruz (cracked bat)
Marty Barrett
Gary Carter
Mike Schmidt
Jose Canseco
Tim Raines
Ryne Sandberg
Andre Dawson
Tony Gwynn
I MIGHT have a Wally Joyner...I can't recall. But if I do, that gives me at least one autograph for every team. :D
Starting Lineups (that my 18 month old son likes to play with / chew on):
88 Dawson
88 Mike Scott
88 Clemens
88 Gwynn
88 Joyner
88 Mattingly
89 Sandberg
85 Donruss "Big" Ryne Sandberg autograph
88 Score Dawson Autograph
84 Mitchell and Ness Sandberg Jersey (if that counts)
Bonny,
That's awesome. I think Seitzer had over 2000 career MLB hits. What is the name of the league and what state are you'all in? Can anyone touch Danny Jackson?
Only pro I think I K'd was Mark Texeiria. He must have been only 14 on a team called the Yankee Rebels from Baltimore, playing up against us 17-18 year olds. He even was a switch hitter back then. Elrod Henrick's (former Oriole bullpen catcher) son was also a centerfielder for that team.
Jer, I think Billy Howley was the losing pitcher for Texeria's team that day as I donged over the short left centerfield spot in Elkridge (don't even think it would have been out of Tengen Field).
Also, Japanese League Great, Jim Traber (not sure if he is on any Oriole video game roster) graduated from the same high school as Jer and I...
Circle change is fucking key. That is all.

Danny Jackson is throwing in the mid 80's now, which is about average for our league. He's also a fatass and still has 80's hair. Jeff Montgomery still throws gas, can probably touch 90. When he started in our league in 2002 he lost his first 2 starts.
The Circle change that I Kd Seitzer on was a little inside, I think the ump gave me the call cuz Seitzer had hit me hard twice(2B, and flyout), and that I had been in the league 8 years. His knees still buckled.

I have a few RBI things, mostly baseball cards. I don't have a scanner, so I can never post the things.
Ruppert Jones autograph
Eric Davis autographs
Darrell Evans autographs
I have a cool card with the picture of Andre Dawson getting beaned in the head. It's by far my favorite card, as I always hated the "Hawk."
I have an SI from 1984 with Alan Trammell on the cover and one from 1982 or 1983 with Reggie in his Angels uniform
Trivia:
What Padres hurler was the one who put that in Dawson's face....
answer is Eric Show
ps--also an answer of some Pete Rose trivia...

This is the worst fucking trivia ever, don't answer the fucking question, then it's not trivia, I knew the answer BTW, that's why I'm pissed.
Did you know that Eric Show later killed himself
ala Donnie Moore?

Wow, that I did not know, know any details?
Looks like it was a drug overdose, not a gunshot.
