American and National All Star Signed Jerseys to be Auctioned by Geppi's Memorabilia Road Show in
October
Proceeds Go to Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.)
American and National League workout uniform jerseys, issued to all players, coaches and managers
at last month’s All-Star Game in Detroit and personally signed by them, will be offered individually
as part of the next auction from Geppi’s Memorabilia Road Show, concluding October 27, 2005.
The jerseys, authenticated through Major League Baseball’s authentication program, include jerseys
issued to more than 60 players including Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Vladimir Guerrero, Johnny
Damon, Mariano Rivera, Manny Ramirez, Ichiro Suzuki, Mike Piazza, Albert Pujols, and Derrek Lee.
All proceeds from the auction of these jerseys will go to the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.),
which provides funds for needy former players and members of the baseball family.
"B.A.T. does wonderful work and we are pleased to be able to facilitate this special auction
and help to fund their efforts," noted Steve Geppi, president of Geppi’s Memorabilia Road Show.
Bobby Murcer, Chairman of the Board of Directors for B.A.T. and a founding officer with Geppi’s
Memorabilia Road Show, helped to facilitate the project.
"We are delighted to again work with Geppi’s Memorabilia Road Show on this auction to help
raise funds for members of the baseball family in need," said Ted Sizemore, President and CEO
of B.A.T.
The auction, by phone, fax and email, will also include the Bert Padell Collection, one of the
largest single consignor auctions since Barry Halper, the Stanley Weston-Toby Weston Cone Collection
of boxing memorabilia, which at one time made up the Boxing Hall of Fame in old Madison Square
Garden, and consignments from Orioles great Brooks Robinson.
Geppi’s Memorabilia Road Show is unique in obtaining all consignments directly from sports insiders, notably
players, their families or their representatives, or those who worked in the industry.
