I collect Baseball stuff. It started with cards and signed baseballs, but then I found out that you could buy the actual, game-used bats that the players used - which led to my starting to collect jerseys, gloves, spikes, hats, along with the more 'normal' and mainstream collecting of photos, bobbleheads, etc. This collection has completely taken over the master bedroom of my house, and is creeping slowly down the hall and threatening the living room.

I live in Arizona, and love the Diamondbacks, so most of my stuff is DBacks-related, including most of the 400+ game-used bats. My sister gave me one of Randy Johnson's game-used gloves for Christmas. The mascot of the now-defunct Phoenix Firebirds minor league club is on a manneqin in a corner of the master bedroom.

The aforementioned sister has become a baseball 'nut' and collector as well - she recently bought the sign that hung on the fence outside the baseball field ('Minnifield Field') on Northern Exposure, to put on the wall above her computer, and she bought me an old bat that was a prop in the 'Unnatural' episode of the X-Files, season six.

I used to collect other things, and still do buy a lot of books, but my love for all things Baseball has pretty much taken over my collecting interest...my life...my house...
