It's a busy weekend for me here in the midwest. I'm working the PGA Championship at Medinah as a volunteer on the public scoreboard. Yesterday, after finishing my shift (and watching Tiger/Phil for a couple holes), I made the 5 hour drive up to Rochester, MN. Last year I attended both Gold Rush shows in Rochester and Oronoco, MN. I decided to make a return visit this year to see what I can find. As you can tell from the picture, I did pretty well.
I did miss out on a three finger Hornsby made by Lowe and Campell that glover Keith Knabe got right before I got there. I also passed on a really nice Rawlings TM45 HOH Stan Musial 1B mitt - glove was in great shape but the price was a little too high for me.
Anyway, in case you're wondering what I did pick up, here is a list - I have a lot of glove cleaning to do:
