Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Just wondering...




what becomes of the mascot costumes and the deeper mystery of what became of Rally's costume, the New Haven Raven mascot adopted by CT?
Someone once told me those outfits cost like $2000 each.

For those of you...



looking to save a couple of bucks over the Milb.com auctions there are two Defenders alternate blue uniforms up for grabs on eBay as we speak; both for great prices. I have dealt with one of the buyers (steve) and he's very good.

Brett is currently playing winter ball in Venezuela for a team managed by new Giants hitting coach and former Yankee great Hensley "Bam-Bam" Meulens. Go Brett!
Road uniforms for Brad Boyer #5 and AR and also not listed on the Milb.com auction site...

The road grey uniforms are now up for bid on Milb auctions. They all have an opening bid of $75 with S&H charge of $20. A S&H charge of $20 is a total ripoff. US Priority Mail flat rate box is like $8 or something and by contrast I just paid $7 shipping US Mail for a Defs uniform last week from another source.

The blue mesh ones are also on the block with same price points: $75/$20.
How Milb justifies a $20 S&H is beyond crazy when the camo uniform S&H charge was $15 (also a ripoff). I'm emailing them.....

There are no bids on any of the uniforms and bidding ends on Nov. 18 at 3:00 PM

The unsold camos from the first auction are listed with the same price points as before: $60/$15.

Brett Pill's #48 road and blue mesh are not listed which raises an eyebrow with me.

I already have a blue mesh uniform from '06 that is just slightly different than the '08/'09 version so I'm passing on those.

I'm going to have to think this one over....those road greys are pretty sharp but $95?
