My wife and I are fans of the Chicago Cubs. Where we live, we were able to attend West Tenn Diamond Jaxx games (AA Chicago) before they lost their contract and see AAA Iowa play the Nashville Sounds. Before we moved, we went to as many Jaxx games as possible. We had some great times at that park, getting to see some great players come through the AA Southern league. We also got to enjoy seeing players like Nomar Garciaparra and Sammy Sosa on rehab assignments. I have always been a huge fan of Sosa and it was great getting to see him close to home.
The Jaxx lost their contract with the Cubs at the close of last season and they decided to sell the team jerseys. The great thing about the jerseys was that they had been worn for multiple years. I inquired about the possibility of buying the #21 Jaxx home white jersey and they said it was available. They sold it to me and even photo matched the LOA for me. The jerseys were priced on the number of patches rather than the player(s) who wore the jersey. I can't remember the exact total, but it was between $125-$150!
