How To Get Game-Used Wristbands, Gloves, etc.?

[Willis 52]

Yep at 49ers games they do the same thing. Toss of the gloves at the end of the game. Honestly i dont know if its like this for other teams. But for the 49ers. The absolute best thing to do is goto their home facility, where they train on the day after the last game of the season. This is the day the players clean out their lockers.

Last year i went out there and was able to get a Joe Staley Game used Auto shoe, Frank Gore game used Auto Shoe, Delanie Walker game used Auto shoe, and a few others. Plus gloves unlimted and a few autographs. I know a few players like the Linemen Heitman came out and gave away like 2 of his game used jerseys from the season.

Thats probably your best opportunity. But ya everything these guys say above is true. At training camp, as the players are walking into the locker room or stopping to sign autos, i usually just say Hey Josh "Morgan" or hey Delanie, can i get those gloves man. And they usually never have a problem with it. Gloves are like nothing because they just get more the next practice anyways. Also if you know their nicknames, that will sometimes get their attention more. Like for instance, delanie walkers nickname is D-Love. So i would be like Yo D-Love, whats going on man.. and he will instantly hear that and know your a fan of him. But ya dont be afraid of them, honestly they are like you and me(just with millions).

My first memoraboilia grab was when I was liek 12 or 13 and it was the year before carl crawfrod debuted for the rays. I asked him for his gloves and he told me they were mine if I walked up and told this one braves heckler to shut up. That was at spring training tho which is where i've had my best luck gathering gear

At games alot of times they'll just take off their gloves/headband/etc. and toss them into the crowd on their way back to the locker room. You just have to be in the right place at the right time.

Great stories and advice guys. I go to ST in AZ every year mostly for the autos though. Usually I leave in the 6th - 7th inning because Spring Training baseball gets boring especially when your favorite team (Sox for me) aren't playing. So next year I should stay the entire game than go down to the tunnel after or where's the best spot? Because it seems like baseball players never listen to you after the games they're just in a rush to get to the locker room.

Thanks
