Díaz First Save of the 2025 Season Game Used Jersey




 


Díaz's first save of the season for 2025. I haven't bought a lot of Game Used Jerseys in the last few years but I felt like I had to get this one. 1) I love this new road jersey, so I wanted to get the debut of it. 2) The Kranepool patch. I picked this up because I got to know Ed a little bit from running the QBC and he was always a gentleman and such a nice guy. 3) I was in Houston for the Opening Series for 2025. Did my first 5k down there and got to just relax and enjoy myself. I've been wanting to go to Houston for years and the7line trip that was planned the last time had to be cancelled due to Hurricane Harvey.

"Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Manfred wrote in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov, who petitioned for Rose's removal from the list Jan. 8. "Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve.

With all the gambling sites that MLB is partnered with as sponsors it only makes sense that they do this and in my opinion not look hypocritical by keeping them out. I think as baseball fans we all kind of felt that this would happen after Pete Rose passed away.
