OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

I don’t collect jerseys, don’t think I even own any except maybe one or two I’ve played in and kept for nostalgic reasons (college team, one particularly fun men’s league team I played on later.) It’s not the worst thing to collect though.

As a kid/teen i was heavy into hockey baseball cards but i grew out of it, then i worked at a jersey store and got free lettering and build up a very very large hockey jersey collection which ive mostly since sold

Now as i said, im doing an MLB one, but my targetted buys are pretty much over, and i scour for deals on ebay to round out what i want or find interesting ( San Diego and Minnesota are my only holes) Ideally i like to buy blanks so i can get a player i really like crested, but if i see a really good deal i'll get a player who while i like, isnt my first choice. Ive done this with Chris Davis, Josh Hamilton, Shin Soo Choo and Andre Dawson ( as a Marlin, no idea why Mitchell and Ness chose this over say, Sheffield)
 
The closest I've ever gotten to owning a jersey is catching one that was given away/thrown at a Leafs game. When I saw that it was a Schenn jersey I found the closest kid to me to give it to him. I might have kept it if it was Kessel or something. Maybe.

Probably not.

Probably not.
Its a hobby/collection that i understand many people dont get. Especially when it involves having jerseys of other teams, even ones i dont like.

Interesting. Dawson as anything but Cubs seems wrong though. Did you get Chris Davis before or after his contract became one of the worst ever ($161 million for -5.8 WAR)

Padres has to be Gwynn, no?

I like the Twins so would have trouble choosing there. I would probably go with someone like Frank Viola. Or maybe Morneau, Mauer, or Molitor (he wasn’t a Twin for long, just one of my favourite players.) I might put Molitor on a Jays jersey actually, if I ever bought one.

Dawson thing was strange.

I got the Davis post retirement for like 35$

Prior to that deal becoming an albatross i was a Chris Davis fan....if i had a blank, it would probably be Eddie Murray, depending on era

San Diego, is very era dependent. Current i'd consider Machado or Tatis, 90's id go Gwynn or Kevin Brown, 80's Dave Winfield. I just haven't found the right combination of style, size, price and player yet.

Twins again era dependent, i'd go Puckett, Knoblauch, Hrbek, Bleleven, Mauer, or Morneau....i kept coming accross a Correa on ebay, but i couldnt pull the trigger.

Oh I get it. I just never thought to get one myself because I don't know when I'd wear it and I'm not one to hang them on walls and shit. I hung and framed my OHL draft jersey but now that feels silly to me as I get older.

Are you kidding? That's awesome. I would've definitely done that too.

Where did you hang the termination of contract notice you eventually received, or did that get relegated to the back of the closet? I keed, I keed.
