I guess I’m a Kyle Seager Supercollector now! Just kidding – these are what I have left over from selling off a crazy collection from a former Kyle Seager Supercollector. Regardless of who the player is, I always have a blast looking at what eye candy people put up when there are nice, bright pics of crazy patches and such. Check them out! Eventually, I’ll be selling/trading them all, but for now just wanted to show them off. My favorite one is at the bottom and shows it being video matched – that was a blast!
Last but not least, my favorite:
I looked up the # on MLB and it came up with this:
I then did a search on 6/6/17 and found a video! Here are some screen shots, first showing the patch I have, then showing him hitting a home run and finally celebrating.
I had a lot of fun tracking down the video! If you want to do some sleuthing on your own cards, check out this little video I made:
I kind of want to collect Seager, but don’t have the cash to get nearly that many cards. I went to a Rays-M’s game at the Trop on my birthday last year. I had been to the stadium many times, but what made this game so special was that my 1 1/2 year old son was there with me and it was his first time there. I held him towards the end of batting practice, and he kind of helped me get Kyle’s autograph. Seager came up to talk with a family or Mariners fans that apparently came from Seattle. I had a card and marker in my hand, but was too far to hand it to Kyle. The father in the family saw me holding my son and the card, and he took the card and marker and handed it to Kyle, who signed it. I don’t think I would’ve got it if I hadn’t had my son in my arms. When I got home, I put the card in my sons small binder, as the first autograph he got.
That’s such a cool story! Thanks for sharing, Jeremy. It is great having memories like that to remember forever.
