Major League Baseball sells these authenticated game used items from the games, which I think is SO cool for the fans. I have few game used baseballs, and if they are just couple years old or newer, I can watch the very ball I bought in action, on MLB.TV. One thing to be able to own a game used memorabilia, but for me, it's a even more special experience to be able to see those items in action.
Anywho, I've also bought couple of autographed items, which I've also written about on the blog before, but this is a new one: A game used base. Third base to be exact.

I've seen lot of bases from other teams, but they are typically $250 to almost $1,000. When I saw Braves-Yankees base for $200, and from the Yankee Stadium, I was very interested.

I ran the authentication number on the hologram on MLB website like I usually do & found out that this was the third base used from the 6th to 9th inning on July 3rd(2018). I didn't want just any base, even if it was from the Yankee stadium, unless some play happened on the base, so I got on my MLB.TV & checked it out.
First thing I caught was the two-run homer with couple of Braves fan favorite players Freddie Freeman & Nick Markakis rounding the bases. I was already sold at this point.
Little later in the game was another two-run home run, but it was couple of the biggest names from the Yankees this time: Aaron Judge & Giancarlo Stanton. Sold, sold, sold. :D
