Sport Memorabilia Analysis
During my years in college, I made my money by working at the UPS store in a wealthy suburban neighborhood in Kansas City. One of my common customers was Kansas City Royals well known baseball player, George Brett. George played third and first base for the Royalsfor a long time and is considered one of the best players to ever play for the Royals.
One play that George Brett is well known for is when his home run versus the Yankees was initially disallowed t and then allowed to be counted. The home run was taken away because he had pine tar that was applied too far up his bat, but after consideration it was figured that this did not aid him in hitting that home run. It is replayed many times on ESPN and other channels as it was the most fired up anyone had ever seen Brett with an umpire. The problematic call also cost the Kansas City Royals the game versus the New York Yankees. They even had to go back and replay a little over an inning left in the game after the incident about a week later to a stadium filled with only 1,500 fans. He came in to the store often to ship an assortment of items, usually to fans, friends, family members and people that sent items for him to sign and return.
He was often coming into ship game-used memorabilia to different residents. Often he was sending back game-used memorabilia to that people had sent him to autograph. The sport memorabilia that he was sending consisted of things like a game-worn jersey and an autographed baseball.
No matter how you feel about George Brett, there is no arguing that he is one of the greatest players who ever put on a baseball uniform and will be a legend in Kansas City for years to come. He still works with the Royals to this day as a consultant and television commentator.
