During my recent visit to Camden Yards, I was handed a replica Adam Jones away jersey upon arrival. This was probably one of the best stadium giveaways that I’ve received during my trips and it got me thinking back to some of the other collectibles gathering dust in my closet and office. While most are gimmicky and quite frankly junk, there are a few that I have used or worn thru the years. Here’s a look back in random order of an admittingly underwhelming list of some of these items (those I kept and those that I can remember disposing of).
