Baseball Memorabilia Auction to Support Clubhouse

9/20/2016

 
Picture
A baseball bat signed by George Brett, a ball signed by Buster Posey, and game photographs signed by Bob Gibson, Ken Regan, and Nolan Ryan: these valuable sports memorabilia items will be auctioned via eBay starting October 12. Proceeds of the auction will benefit the Touchton Clubhouse project at York College.

​Caleb ’04 and Genevieve (Grosshuesch ’05) Elrod, owners of Gameday Connexion, donated the auction items as an exciting special gift to the Beyond 125 Alumni Campaign. With four physical stores in the Dallas area in addition to a webstore, Gameday Connexion is the premier sports memorabilia company in the Southwest. They specialize in sports autographs, custom framing, and athlete appearances.

The Elrods started Gameday Connexion seven years ago and have built it into a successful company from the ground up. “York College means a lot to me,” said Caleb. “Anytime I can do something to give back, I want to do what I can to help the college.” The Elrods also give back by serving as members of the President’s Council at York College.

Proceeds from the online memorabilia auction will go toward completing the Touchton Clubhouse, the new home of the nationally ranked Panther Baseball team. The clubhouse will be dedicated on October 22 at 2 p.m. The online auction will conclude at 11:59 p.m. on October 21 and the winners of the auction items will be recognized during the dedication event.

About the Items

George Brett Autograph Bat

View this item on eBay to bid

​Royals Legend George Brett personally hand-signed this game-model bat and inscribed it “HOF 99-George Brett.”
Brett’s fiery personality and hustle-like play instantly made him a favorite among baseball fans. Brett spent his 21-year career with the Kansas City Royals, where he led the Royals to many post season appearances including a World Series Championship in 1985. Brett's 3,154 career hits make him the best hitting third baseman in MLB history, and he is also one of the only players in history to accumulate 3,000 hits, 300 home runs, and a career .300 batting average. Brett is one of the hardest to find autographs in baseball, and this is a must have for any true fan of America's pastime. This George Brett autograph is guaranteed authentic.

​Giants star Buster Posey has personally hand-signed this MLB baseball. Buster Posey was considered the best catcher available in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft and he was selected by the San Francisco Giants with the fifth overall pick. In his short career, Posey has won two World Series titles, a batting title, a Rookie of the Year Award, and won the 2012 NL MVP. This Buster Posey autograph is guaranteed authentic and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Bob Gibson and Ken Regan Framed Autograph Photo

View this item on eBay to bid

Bob Gibson played 17+ seasons with the Cardinals, winning 20 games in a season five times over that span and establishing himself as the very definition of intimidation, competitiveness and dignity. One of the best athletes to ever play the game, he posted a 1.12 ERA in 1968, the lowest figure since 1914, and a factor in convincing baseball officials to lower the pitching mound the next year. Known as a premier big-game pitcher, Gibson posted World Series records of seven consecutive wins and 17 strikeouts in a game, both of which remain unbroken. This Bob Gibson autographed photo is Guaranteed Authentic.

​The photo also features the signature of the photographer, Ken Regan. Famous in the sports world for his enduring photographs, Regan’s work has been published in Time, Life, Sports Illustrated and Newsweek, as well as many others.

Nolan Ryan Fram Autographed Photo

View this item on eBay to bid

The Ryan Express is the most exciting pitcher to ever take the mound in Major League Baseball history. During his 27-year career he pitched for four different teams: the New York Mets, California Angels, Houston Astros and Texas Rangers. His 100+ MPH fastball was his trademark. Nolan Ryan was an eight-time MLB All-Star, and his 5,714 career strikeouts rank first all time in baseball history.

​Ryan is the all-time leader in no-hitters with seven to his record. Ryan was a first ballot Baseball Hall of Fame inductee in 1999 with 98.8% of the vote. These Texas Rangers 16x20 photos picturing the famous Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura fight have been personally hand signed by Nolan Ryan. Each autographed photo includes an individually numbered, tamper-evident Authentic hologram from Nolan Ryan and Gameday Connexion.
