Baseball
Great Barry Bonds made his Major League debut with the Pittsburgh
Pirates in 1986. He went to join the San Francisco Giants in 1993,
where he played until 2007. Bonds' accomplishments place him among
the greatest baseball players of all-time. He has a record-setting
seven Most Valuable Player awards, including a record-setting
four consecutive MVPs! He is a fourteen time All-star, eight time
gold glove-winner and he holds numerous Major League Baseball
records. He currently holds the all-time Major League Baseball
home run record with 762, and is also the all-time career leader
in both walks (2,558) and intentional walks (688). In 2001, Bonds
broke two of Babe Ruth's long-standing records - most walks and
highest slugging percentage in a season. But those weren't the
records that had the nation buzzing. Because that year he also
smashed Mark McGwire's home run record by hitting 73 roundtrippers.
#73 was hit off of the LA Dodgers' knuckleballer Dennis Springer
on October 7th at Pac Bell Park (now AT&T Park). This
Rawlings Big Stick bat, hand-signed by Barry, is a terrific collectible
from one of the greatest sluggers to have ever played the game.
A great, and unique, gift for any baseball fan. [why

Orlando
Cepeda, a powerful slugger, was a seven-time National League All-Star.
As a 20-year-old rookie with the Giants in 1958, the Baby Bull
hit .312 with 25 home runs to earn unanimous National League Rookie
of the Year honors. Nine years later, the Puerto Rican native
compiled a league-leading 111 RBI for the World Champion Cardinals,
while becoming the first unanimous MVP in the National League
since Carl Hubbell in 1936. During his 17-year career, Orlando
played for: San Francisco Giants (1958-66), St. Louis Cardinals
(1966-68), Atlanta Braves (1969-72), Oakland A's (1972), Boston
Red Sox (1973), Kansas City Royals (1974). Cepeda was elected
to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999 representing San Francisco
Giants and his #30 was retired by the Giants.
One of only five San Francisco Giants Hall of Famers (Sports Gallery
has had all five for signings
-Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, and Gaylord Perry
being the others), a statue of Orlando was recently unveiled at
at AT&T Park (joining Mays, McCovey and Marichal).
Cepeda signed these blonde Adirondack baseball bat with the very
special "Baby Bull"
and "HOF 99" inscriptions during Orlando's
recent Sports Gallery signing. Great collectibles from
a great slugger! But hurry we only have three
bats remaining from our signing!
In
his first year of MLB, Seattle OF Ichiro led the American League
in batting (.350) and stolen bases (56). His 242 hits were the
most in the majors in 71 years and he also won a Gold Glove for
fielding excellence. No wonder Ichiro won the 2001 AL Rookie of
the Year and MVP awards, becoming the first player to do so in
the same season since Boston's Fred Lynn in 1975. In 2004, Ichiro
was voted a starter for the American League All-Star team, making
him 4 for 4 in All-Star starts during his impressive four year
MLB career. Even more impressively, native of , broke George Sisler’s
84-year-old record of 257 hits in a season by racking up an incredible
262 safeties in '04. If Barry Bonds is the greatest slugger of
all-time, Ichrio may be the best "singler." A great
baseball talent, Ichiro does not do many signings. Get this very
cool hand-signed black bat before someone else does. A great gift
for any fan of great hitting. [why

By
the time he's through with his major-league career, NY Yankee
SS Derek Jeter could have a championship ring for each of his
10 fingers. He's already played on four World Series winners and
has reached the "Fall Classic" six times. Derek completed
a rare "double" of sorts in 2000 when he was named MVP
of the All-Star Game as well as the World Series. Away from the
field, few players are as popular as Derek. He's been called the
"Prince of the City," with his good looks and easy demeanor
and he still refers to his manager as "Mr. Torre."

NY
Yankees Shortstop Derek Jeter, the
1996 Rookie of the Year, has played a key role on the powerful Yankee
teams of the late 1990s/2000's, while becoming one of the most popular
players in New York. For a Michigan kid who summered with his grandparents
in New Jersey, playing for the Yankees is a dream come true. But
for many New Yorkers, sports fans or not, Jeter is just dreamy.
When he arrived in NY, he was quickly dubbed the second-most sought-after
bachelor in the city after John F. Kennedy Jr., and was often seen
squiring equally eligible single models and actresses around Manhattan.
But unlike other young stars suddenly thrust into the media spotlight,
Jeter never let his success off the field affect his success on
it. By the time he's through with his major-league career, NY Yankee
SS Derek Jeter could have a championship ring for each of his 10
fingers - he's already played on four World Series winners. Derek
is just flat-out a winner. This very cool black Rawlings
"Big Stick" bat is hand-signed by Derek in silver
sharpie. A great collectible. And a great gift for any Yankees fan. [why

Willie Mays' staggering career statistics include 3,283 hits and
660 home runs, 4th on the all-time career home run list behind only
Aaron, Ruth, and his godson Barry Bonds. The Giants' superstar outfielder
earned National League Rookie of the Year honors in 1951 and two
MVP awards. He accumulated 12 Gold Gloves, played in a record-tying
24 All-Star Games and participated in four World Series. The "Say
Hey Kid," voted to baseball's Hall of Fame in 1979, hand-signed
this authentic bat with his unique signature. A Sports
Gallery Signing Guest, this is a classic collectible
from a classic baseball player that will only go up in value in
the years to come. [why

San
Francisco Giants 1B Willie McCovey used a sweeping swing to belt
521 homers and collect more than 2,200 hits. "Stretch"
led the National League in homers three times and in RBI twice,
also pacing the circuit in slugging percentage for three consecutive
years (1968-’70). McCovey earned National League MVP honors
in 1969, 10 years after earning National League Rookie of the Year
in 1959. Said Sparky Anderson of the six-time All Star: "If
you pitch to him he'll ruin the baseball. He'd hit 80 home runs.
There's no comparison between McCovey and anybody else in the League."
One of five San Francisco Giants Hall of Famers (Sports Gallery
has had all five for signings
-Willie Mays, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda, and Gaylord Perry being
the others), Willie was elected to the Pro Baseball Hall of Fame
in 1986 and his #44 has been retired by the Giants. And, of course,
McCovey Cove is the home of the "Splash
Landing" at AT&T Park - monster home runs (like
Willie hit) that clear the stands and land in San Francisco Bay.
This very black Rawlings Bat was hand-signed during Willie's
recent signing at Sports Gallery, and includes the special
inscriptin "521 HRs."
A unique collectible from one of baseball's all-time greats! But

Legend Willie
McCovey signs at Sports

As
a rookie in 1987, 1B Mark McGwire blasted 49 homers, setting a record
for a freshman. Playing for the A's (1986-'97) and St. Louis ('97-2001),
Mark was an 11-time All-Star (1987-1992, 1995-1999), Rookie of the
Year (1987), and Gold Glove winner (1990). His greatest moment though
came in 1998 when he set the then single-season home run record
with 70, battling Sammy Sosa until the final days of the season.
He later became first man to hit 50 homers in three straight seasons
(1997-1999). A surefire Hall of Famer, McGwire collectibles are
tough to come by given Mark's reluctance to do many signings. [why

Cal
Ripken/Brett Favre
Limited Edition "Iron Man"
Series
$1,495
This
is definitely a unique collectible. Two great atheletes that transend
their respective sports to represent competitiveness, determination,
grit and longetitvity - true "Ironmen"
of the sports world. HOF'er Cal Ripken Jr. earned the nickname Iron
Man by playing in a remarkable 2,632 straight games spanning
sixteen seasons, from May 30, 1982 to September 20, 1998. He played
his 2,131st consecutive game on September 6, 1995, against the California
Angels, breaking the 56-year-old record set by the "Iron
Horse," Lou Gehrig. So captivated by this record and
player were baseball fans, that, in a nation-wide vote, fans voted
this record-breaking game as the "Most
Memorable Moment" in MLB history. In the NFL, the list
of the most consecutive starts by a quarterback contains only only
five players that have been able to achieve streaks longer than
100 games. And only one of those five has a streak over 200 games
- Brett Favre. The record setting Iron
Man of all football quarterbacks has come back from retirement
and his record-shattering continuous game streak continues through
the 2008 NFL season (260+ and counting). Niether illness or nagging
injury has kept Brett from playing (despite scenes of him throwing
up during games and needing crutches afterwards). And then there
is the unforgettable Monday night game against the Raiders, where
Brett played the game of his life only days after his father’s
death. Two legendary sports figures with two remarkable records.
Both true modern-day ironmen. This dual-signed, limited edition
bat is #1 of a series of only 48. is a totally unique and timeless
collectible that will be passed down generation to generation in
your family. But hurry, we only have one
in our galleries. [why

In
the 1960's Pete Rose was a brash rookie who turned the derisive
nickname "Charlie Hustle" into a badge of honor. In the
1970's he won World Series titles as part of Cincinnati's "Big
Red Machine," an MVP award, and challenged the greatest record
in baseball history - Joe
DiMaggio's consecutive game hitting streak. In the 1980's
he became the most prolific hitter in history, managed his hometown
team, and was banished from baseball and the Baseball Hall of Fame
(for the time being) for his gambling indiscretions. Through it
all Pete Rose maintained his station at the top of baseball headlines,
setting the all-time major league record for most hits (4,256) and
games played (3,562). He, more than any other player, defined his
era. Pete hand-signed this Pete Rose model Adirondack bat along
with the inscription "4,256," his record career hit total.
Combine this bat with one of our quality wall-mounted
mahogany baseball bat cases and you have a timeless piece
of sports art for your office or den. A great gift for any baseball
fan. [why

Pablo
Sandoval, born in Carabobo, Venezuela, is the latest Giants phenom
and there is NOTHING about Pablo that is ordinary. After all,
when was the last time a 22-year-old 5'11" 245-pound switch-hitting
catcher made the jump from A-ball to the middle of the batting
order for a major league team in one year? If you're leafing through
your Baseball Almanac, we'll save you the time. The answer is
never. The closest comparison you will find is 2008 NL MVP Albert
Pujols, who made a similar rapid rise in 2000. The 22-year old
Venezuelan was signed by San Francisco in 2002 at the age of 16.
And few young players have generated as much buzz. He has torn
up every league he's played in the last two years with the bat
(in 273 at-bats for A San Jose, he hit .359 with 12 home runs
and 59 RBI and in 175 at-bats with AA Connecticut, he hit .337
with eight homers and 37 RBI) and he's doing the same with SF
hitting over .300 in 2009, amongst the League Leaders in BA. And
Pablo has proved very capable at multiple defensive positions.
Sandoval can play Catcher, 3B and 1B extremely well. He has a
ton of value if the Giants were to play him at all three positions,
which is exactly what the Giants are doing in '09. Nicknamed "Kung
Fu Panda" by teammate Barry Zito because of his resemblance
to the movie character, Pablo is fast becoming one of the most
popular athletes in the Bay Area. At Pablo's
recent SGA signing he signed a variety of collectibles
including this Rawlings Black Bat. Get Pablo collectibles before
they go up in value! [why

Ryan
Sweeney, a graduate of Xavier High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
was ranked the No. 1 Prospect in the Chicago White Sox organization
in 2007. Ryan had originally signed to play collegiately for Tony
Gwynn at San Diego State, but instead signed with the White Sox
after being taken in the 2nd round of the 2003 MLB Draft. Ryan
became an Athletic on January 3, 2008 when he was traded to Oakland
(along with fellow prospects Fautino De Los Santos and Gio Gonzalez)
for A's outfielder Nick Swisher. Billy Bean strikes again! In
2009, Ryan is patrolling Center Field like nobody else in the
League, already the owner of several ESPN web gems and home-run
robbing catches. A can't miss MLB star on the rise, Ryan IS
the future of the A's.
During Ryan's
recent Sports Gallery signing, he signed various A's
and baseball collectibles for SGA including the very cool Rawlings
bats - one black and one blonde. A Great gift (and investment!)
for any A's fan, but hurry
we only have a limited
number from our signing.
Sammy
Sosa is a home run hitting machine. He was the first player in baseball
history to have three 60+ home run seasons (98,99,01). In 1998,
the year Sammy and Mark McGwire staged their memorable race for
the MLB single season homerun record, Sosa was named the National
League MVP and Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated and The
Sporting News. In 2004 Sammy not only became the Cubs all-time home
run leader (passing the great Ernie Banks) but also shot past Mike
Schmidt to move to #9 on the All-Time Career Home Run leaderboard.
A perennial All-Star, Sammy could be a serious threat to Hank Aaron's
homerun record before his career is over. This black bat is hand-signed
by Sammy includes his number #21. [why
