Blogger Poll: What is the Worst Sports Memorabilia You Own?
Posted on December 16th, 2008 by Mike under pollSo I was sitting around watching Norbit (for the second time) on HBO Comedy this weekend. When the plot intricacies became too much to bear, my mind wandered and I started to think (appropriately) about other things that suck. Specifically, things that I own.
Pretty high up there on this list of contraband is a signed black and white 8×10 of Mo Vaughn from his days on the Red Sox.
The Hit Dog was pretty beloved in Boston before his unceremonious departure. He left in 1998, signing the richest contract in the league at the time to go to the Angels, where he was plagued by injury. After that, he went to the Mets - where baseball players go to die - and was never seen or heard from again.
Regardless, I prominently display this autograph atop a stereo cabinet that has three of four - minus the woofer - speakers blown out. Mo has taken a few tumbles during Number the Beast (I keep dryer sheets in a more sturdy, in tact location).
Which leads us nicely to this week’s sports blogger poll…
What is the worst piece of sports memorabilia that you own?
Send your submissions to me here. The best (crappiest) of the best (rubbish) will be posted Friday in A.M.

I own a pair of game worn Latrell Sprewell shoes from his Golden State Warrior days. I bought them at auction and within 2 weeks he choked out PJ, and the shoes were moved from my dresser to the closet.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this Sports Handicapping Service? I found his video on Youtube and it turns out the service is sold through clickbank which means it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. Was inquiring what peoples thoughts were.
