Our Mission

Beyond The Dugout, a division of C3 Sports, takes great pride in offering players and agents an alternative way to market and sell game used equipment, maximizing returns by engaging a larger target customer base while providing the ultimate experience in convenience by taking all the work out of the sales and marketing process for our clients.  Our efforts center around promoting the efforts and achievements of our clients and maximizing the return on their signed equipment and memorabilia. In addition to the sales channel provided by Beyond The Dugout, we also work through our parent company, C3 Sports, to identify and pursue all available revenue streams from marketing and promotional opportunities, including national endorsements and event planning and promotion, for our client, agent, team, and charity partners.

Our History

Our company is rooted in a network of players with whom we developed friendships in the mid-to-late 1990's.  As seasons wound to a close, many of these players were left with used equipment which they would either dispose of in the trash or give away to fans.  As the popularity of the internet, and particularly eBay™, grew many of these players began to see their equipment for sale on these auction sites...and began to question how they could take advantage of this sales method themselves. While our early efforts focused on a small number of players, and were not limited to game used items, but also items they had collected from other players during the season or during Spring Training, our “broker” business model took a new direction with the selection of a family member, Jai Miller, by the Florida Marlins in the 2003 Amateur Player Draft.  Following Jai's first professional season, we launched a website specifically designed to market and sell Jai's game used equipment.  As word of our effort spread, we developed partnerships with some of Jai’s peers and his agent, who partnered with us to offer our service to other clients. As our company grew and word of our services spread, we decided to launch our first direct campaign to introduce our company to a select group of players participating in the 2006 Arizona Fall League.  This initial marketing effort resulted in a marketing partnership with Indians' prospect and 2005 First Round Draft Pick, Trevor Crowe...a partnership which continues to grow as Trevor fulfills his dream of playing in the Major Leagues.  With the addition of Trevor, and the increasing support of Jai's teammates and agent, we re-branded our company and "Beyond The Dugout", including the website you are visting today, officially launched in November 2006.  By design, we have worked to grow slowly, relying on client referrals and partnering with agencies across the country to offer a marketplace for players and prospects for whom other sales opportunities did not exist.  This strategy has benefitted us by allowing us to develop close relationships with not only the players who use our service, but also their agents, many of whom have continued to recommend our service to additional clients, allowing our business to continue its growth. Today, as it was when we first launched the new site, our focus for www.BeyondThedugout.net and www.AuthenticGameUsed.com is to provide today's professional baseball players with convenient access to the growing sports memorabilia marketplace, while using the services our company provides to assist in the pricing, inventory management, and sales process of the items our clients make available to fans worldwide.  We are blessed to work with a terrific group of players and agents who support our efforts in changing the way the game-used equipment business operates.  By receiving items directly from the players, agents, and teams we work with...and being able to then offer these items to fans and collectors worldwide at fair and reasonable prices with the guarantee that they are receiving unique, game-used items from their favorite players...we hope to continue our growth to bring more players and fans together thru our business.

"Starting Lineup" Item BTD060671 - John Gall Mizuno MZP84 Pro Model Fielders Glove	Featured "Starting Lineup" Client... Justin Thomas Pitcher - Seattle Mariners	"Authentic Collection" Item BTD060527 - Rick Ankiel Game Worn Palm Beach Cardinals Jersey (2004)
	The next time the Mariners go fishing on the farm for a starting pitcher, Triple-A Tacoma might not be the spot to cast the line.  Justin Thomas has begun to turn a corner at Double-A West Tennessee, and has the brightest future among healthy starters at either level. Thomas, 24, began the 2008 season with three solid starts in four tries, but lost control in May, surrendering 56 base runners in just 33 innings of work, including 20 bases on balls. "He's got quality stuff, but you have to throw strikes," an American League scout said after Thomas' most recent outing. "When he does so, you see what he can do. He's getting good hitters out consistently." The left-hander's control and command both have been up and down since he made his professional debut four summers ago, but his past three starts give cause for excitement. Thomas issued just five bases on balls in 22 1/3 innings, and tossed a complete-game, five-hit shutout at Huntsville on June 8 while striking out 10 not walking a batter. "I caught that start, too," the scout said. "I was there to see Huntsville, the Brewers' affiliate, who have three high-end bats in their lineup in Alcides Escobar, Matt Gamel and Matt Laporta. All three will play regularly in the big leagues, and Thomas made them all look pedestrian. Very impressive. My notes were supposed to be on them, but he kind of stole the show." The Mariners have long believed in Thomas' abilities, but the command problems and a bout with shoulder pain last season have held up his development.  Right now, Thomas seems to be hitting his stride and putting himself into position to be called up to the big leagues sometime in 2008.

Mizuno MZP84 Fielders Glove, game used by John Gall, former St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Player of the Year and current Florida Marlins prospect and member of Team USA participating in the 2008 Summer Olympics.  This glove was used during the 2007 season and has John's name embroidered along the ring finger.  John jas signed the glove above his embroidered name, on the outer thumb panel, and on the inside palm using a black Sharpie. John signed this glove on Tuesday, July 15, 2008, at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky to participate in the Triple-A All Star Game.   Regular Price:  $349.99 Special Member Price:  $299.99		This Palm Beach Cardinals jerseys was worn during the 2004 season by current Cardinals centerfielder Rick Ankiel...while playing as a pitcher!  This was the last jersey ever worn by Rick as he attempted to overcome his sudden lack of pitching control.  Rick gave up pitching for good after only a few appearances in this jersey during the 2004 season...before beginning his improbable and unbelievably successful comeback as one of the top centerfielders and power hitters in the Major Leagues. This jersey was purchased directly from the Palm Beach Cardinals following the 2005 season, as they cleared out old jersey inventory to replace sets for both the Cardinals and the Jupiter Hammerheads (Caitlin Balkum was the Merchandising Director who sold this jersey to us). Regular Price:  $349.99 Special Member Price:  $299.99

"Starting Lineup" Item	Featured "Starting Lineup" Client... Nick Green Pitcher - Los Angeles Angels	"Authentic Collection" Item BTD060526 - Lancaster Jethawks BP/Alternate Jersey #25 (worn by Brandon Webb, Dan Uggla, and Jon Zeringue)
	One of the cheapest prospects on any list, Green turned down $80,000 from the Astros as an 11th-rounder out of high school only to sign with the Angels two years later for $1,500.  He took home Double-A Texas League All-Star honors last year before taking the series-ending loss in the Pacific Coast League playoffs.  He took the biggest step forward of any Los Angeles prospect in 2007, earning a spot on the 40-man roster.  Green pounds the zone with an 86-93 mph fastball, mid-70's curve and a dastardly changeup.  His changeup graded as a 70 pitch for more than one TL scout, with late sink resembling that of a screwball.  He works quickly, pitches to contact and is efficient, spotting his stuff to both sides of the plate.  He repeats his simple yet deceptive delivery well.  He's durable and hasn't missed a turn in his rotation in two years.  Green doesn't have the upside of some of the Angels' bigger arms.  He gets a lot of flyball outs and can be prone to homers.  His fastball and changeup are not swing-and-miss pitches, and he already has maximized his feel for pitching.  Green's sleeper t has expired, and he has a ceiling as a reliable No. 4 starter.  He'll spend 2008 in the Triple-A rotation. Click here to see the latest authentic game-used autographed items from Nick.
Black/Gray Nike Huarache Spikes, used by Florida Marlins' prospect Jai Miller during road games for the 2007 Carolina MudCats...the Marlins' AA Southern League affiliate.  Both spikes show significant wear.  Jai has signed both spikes across the toe using a Silver Sharpie and has added the inscription "3 HR in 1 Game, July 24-25, '07" in black Sharpie above each autograph (Jai was wearing these spikes versus the Tennessee Smokies in a game that began the evening of July 24th.  In his first at-bat, Jai homered.  Before reaching his second at-bat, the game was called due to rain and was scheduled to resume the following afternoon.  On the 25th, in his 1st AB of the day and 2nd of the game, Jai again homered...this time off of rehabbing Cubs' Major League starter Wade Miller!  Jai homered again in his next at-bat, recording three homeruns in one game spanning two days...possibly the first time the feat had ever been accomplished under such unique circumstances!) Jai signed these spikes at his home on November 25, 2007. Regular Price:  $129.99 Special Member Price:  $114.99		This fantastic jerseys was worn during the 2001-2004 seasons by the following players: Brandon Webb (2001) Dan Uggla (2002) Jon Zeringue (2004). Jersey is JetHawks purple with embroidered logos and lettering.  Jersey comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Lancaster JetHawks identifying the players who wore this jersey.

"Starting Lineup" Item	Featured "Starting Lineup" Client... Jai Miller Outfielder - Florida Marlins	"Authentic Collection" Item
	Jai and Caison in Pearl, MS Jai, the first three sport All-State athlete in Alabama High School Athletic history (football, basketball, and baseball) was selected in the fourth round of the 2003 MLB First Year Player/Amatuer Draft following his senior season at Selma High School in Selma, Alabama.  The Marlins were able to attract Jai away from a dual sport scholarship commitment with Stanford to play both football and basketball. Following three seasons in which Jai struggled to learn the intricacies of the game he had focused least on during his high school career, his baseball skills finally began to catch up with his natural athletic talent during the 2007 season with the Carolina MudCats, where Jai batted .261 in 129 games with 14 homeruns (after hitting none in spacious Roger Dean Stadium in 2006), 58 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and a combined on-base plus slugging percentage of .792. Following the 2007 seaon, Jai was selected to participate in the prestigious Arizona Fall League, where scouts remained impressed with his improvements in both offensive and defensive discipline.  After the AFL season ended, the Marlins purchased Jai's contract and placed him on the 40-man roster, leading to Jai's first invitation to Major League camp in the Spring of this year. Baseball America recently named Jai as one of the Marlins' Top 30 Prospects, projecting him as the starting Centerfielder at Triple-A Albuquerque and predicting his Major League debut sometime during the 2008 season.  BA's writers said of Jai "...(Miller) took a huge step forward in 2007.  The five-tool threat made strides with his plate discipline, began to drive balls with more authority and appeared more confident in all areas of the game.  The owner of as much bat speed as anyone in the organization, Miller learned to stay back on pitches and drive the ball to right-center.  Timed at 4.1 seconds to first base from the right side of hte plate, he's still learning to use his plus-plus speed on the bases.  He has plenty of range and a strong arm in center field, though he must continue to improve his routes and the accuracy of his throws."

New York Yankees Baseball Cap worn during Spring Training 2007 by Yankees' Top 10 Prospect Brett Gardner.  Cap shows light use from wear. Size 7 1/8.  Brett signed the top of the bill using a silver Sharpie and added the inscription “2007 1st Spring Training”. Special BTD Price:  $79.99		This Batting Practice Jersey (#32) was worn during the 2007 Arkansas Travelers baseball season by pitcher and top prospect Nick Adenhart.  Because the team lacked a red BP jersey to match  Nick's home and road uniform number (#24), Nick wore this jersey early during the season for BP, warmups, and select games. This jersey comes with a letter of authenticity from the Arkansas Travelers signed by Assistant GM Pete Laven.  This item is unsigned. Special BTD Price:  $279.99

"Starting Lineup" Item BTD060578 - Carlos Gonzalez Game Used/Auto'd Marucci Bat	Featured "Starting Lineup" Client... Trevor Crowe Outfielder - Cleveland Indians	"Authentic Collection" Item BTD060525 - Howie Kendrick / Sean Rodriguez Game Used/Auto'd Cedar Rapids Kernels BP Jersey #8
	Trevor was drafted in the first round (14th overall) of the 2005 First Year Player Draft by the Cleveland Indians, following an outstanding junior season at the University of Arizona where he hit .403 with 25 doubles, 15 triples, nine homers, 54 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 60 games on his way to co-PAC 10 Player of the Year honors (with current Red Sox phenom Jacoby Ellsbury) and being named as a Golden Spikes Award finalist as one of the top five overall players in college baseball (award was won by Alex Gordon, the #2 overall pick of the Kansas City Royals). Trevor began his professional career at Class A Mahoning Valley following the 2005 draft, particpating in 12 games before being promoted to the Lake County Captains of hte South Atlantic League.  Trevor finished his first professional season with a late season call-up to AA Akron in the Eastern League. Following a Major League Spring Training invitation to start the 2006 season, Trevor was promoted again to Kinston in the Advanced-A Carolina League where he played an integral role in helping the Indians to a first half Southern Division championship by hitting .329 with 72 hits including 15 doubles and four homers to go along with 31 RBI and 29 stolen bases in his first 60 games.  After being selected for the mid-season Carolina League All-Star Game, Trevor was promoted to AA Akron for the remainder of the 2006 season and played a key role in the Eastern League playoffs, batting .349 with 15 hits and 25 total bases in 10 games.  Trevor played for the Peoria Javelinas in the 2006 Arizona Fall League and was selected to the first annual AFL Rising Star Showcase and was named to the AFL Top 10 Prospect list by Baseball America. Trevor again started the 2007 season with a Spring Training invitation to Major League camp.  Assigned to AA Akron to start the season, Trevor struggled with adjustments made in the off-season to his swing before finding his rhythm at mid-season to finish the 2007 campaign with a .259 average, 183 total bases on 134 hits with 50 RBI and 28 stolen bases.  Cleveland rewarded Trevor for his dramatic mid-season turnaround with a second invitation to the prestigious Arizona Fall League, where he played for the Surprise Rafters. In an effort to maximize his playing time given the Indians' depth in the outfield, Trevor opened the 2008 season with the Akron Aeros, but Indians' personnel expects him to contribute significantly in Cleveland before seasons end.

Gardner adjusted well to wood bats in 2005, and finished the season in the New York-Penn League season ranking 5th in at bats (with 282), 2nd in runs (62), and 5th in stolen bases (19).  He was a Florida State League all star in 2006, batting .323 in 63 games with 22 RBI with the Tampa Yankees.  He was 3rd in the Florida State League in batting average, and led the league in stolen bases with 30.  Gardner also was second in the league in walks with 47.In 2007, he played 54 games for the AA Trenton Thunder, though he missed time with a broken bone in his hand.  In 203 at bats he stole 18 bases (tied for 5th in the league; while being caught 4 times), hit 5 triples, and batted .300 with a .392 OBP, before being promoted to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.  There, in 45 games he batted .260 with a .343 OBP, and stole 21 bases while being caught only 3 times. Through 2007, in the minor leagues he has a .288 batting average, .381 on-base percentage (OBP), and .374 slugging percentage (SLG). He has stolen 114 bases, and been caught 22 times. In the Fall of 2007 he played in 26 games in the Arizona Fall League, leading the league in runs (27) and stolen bases (16), while being caught only once.  He batted .343 (5th in the league), with a .433 OBP (3rd), and ranked 3rd in walks (17).  He was also named as one of the finalists for the Dernell Stenson Leadership Award. Gardner's legs are his strength.  He's the fastest base runner in the organization, with 80 speed on a 20-80 scale, and has solid base running instincts.  He's adept at picking spots, knowing when it's more valuable to the team for him to use the threat of a stolen base to get the pitcher to throw fastballs to the heart of the order.  He has outstading plate discipline, draws a good number of walks, and uses the whole field while making consistent, hard contact.  Baseball America rated him as having the best strike zone discipline in the Yankees minor league system after the close of the 2006 season.  His speed and excellent sense in the outfield translate to an outstanding defensive game, among the best in the Yankee farm system. His arm is average, though fairly accurate. Click here to see the latest authentic game-used autographed items from Brett, including cleats, batting gloves, bats, and other one-of-a-kind-items!

"Starting Lineup" Item BTD060547 - Ryan Tucker Jamestown Jammers BP/Alternate Jersey #24 (2005)	Featured "Starting Lineup" Client... Jordan Brown First Base - Cleveland Indians	"Authentic Collection" Item BTD060549 - Asdrubal Cabrera Buffalo Bisons #10 BP/Alternate Jersey (2006)
	Often compared to Wally Joyner in college for his aggressive approach and fluid strike from the left side, Brown has improved his stock by winning back-to-back league MVP awards in the high Class A Carolina and the Eastern leagues the past two seasons.  He led the CL with 87 RBIs in 2006 and the EL with a .333 batting average in 2007.  Brown uses the whole field with a compact, line-drive swing abd he wears out the opposite field.  His bat speed is just average, but it plays up because of outstanding plate discipline and pitch recognition.  He has good instincts on the bases and stole 12 bases in 13 attempts last year.  He's an average defender at first base with good footwork abd reactions.  The Indians praise his leadership skills.  Brown played much of the second half of 2007 with knee problems and had minor arthroscopic surgery in September, prompting his return to first base after playing left field in 2006.  Brown profiles as a first baseman in the mold of Sean Casey or Lyle Overbay.  He'll likely play most of 2008 in Triple-A.

"Starting Lineup" Item	Featured "Starting Lineup" Client Nick Green - P - Angels	"Authentic Collection" Item
SOLD Brett Gardner Louisville Slugger M285 Baseball Bat SOLD Item #BTD060618	One of the cheapest prospects on any list, Green turned down $80,000 from the Astros as an 11th-rounder out of high school only to sign with the Angels two years later for $1,500.  He took home Double-A Texas League All-Star honors last year before taking the series-ending loss in the Pacific Coast League playoffs.  He took the biggest step forward of any Los Angeles prospect in 2007, earning a spot on the 40-man roster.  Green pounds the zone with an 86-93 mph fastball, mid-70's curve and a dastardly changeup.  His changeup graded as a 70 pitch for more than one TL scout, with late sink resembling that of a screwball.  He works quickly, pitches to contact and is efficient, spotting his stuff to both sides of the plate.  He repeats his simple yet deceptive delivery well.  He's durable and hasn't missed a turn in his rotation in two years.  Green doesn't have the upside of some of the Angels' bigger arms.  He gets a lot of flyball outs and can be prone to homers.  His fastball and changeup are not swing-and-miss pitches, and he already has maximized his feel for pitching.  Green's sleeper status has expired, and he has a ceiling as a reliable No. 4 starter.  He'll spend 2008 in the Triple-A rotation.

"Starting Lineup" Item BTD060671 - John Gall Mizuno MZP84 Pro Model Fielders Glove	"Starting Lineup" Client Justin Thomas Pitcher - Seattle Mariners	"Authentic Collection" Item BTD060527 - Rick Ankiel Game Worn Palm Beach Cardinals Jersey (2004)
	The next time the Mariners go fishing on the farm for a starting pitcher, Triple-A Tacoma might not be the spot to cast the line.  Justin Thomas has begun to turn a corner at Double-A West Tennessee, and has the brightest future among healthy starters at either level. Thomas, 24, began the 2008 season with three solid starts in four tries, but lost control in May, surrendering 56 base runners in just 33 innings of work, including 20 bases on balls. "He's got quality stuff, but you have to throw strikes," an American League scout said after Thomas' most recent outing. "When he does so, you see what he can do. He's getting good hitters out consistently." The left-hander's control and command both have been up and down since he made his professional debut four summers ago, but his past three starts give cause for excitement. Thomas issued just five bases on balls in 22 1/3 innings, and tossed a complete-game, five-hit shutout at Huntsville on June 8 while striking out 10 not walking a batter. "I caught that start, too," the scout said. "I was there to see Huntsville, the Brewers' affiliate, who have three high-end bats in their lineup in Alcides Escobar, Matt Gamel and Matt Laporta. All three will play regularly in the big leagues, and Thomas made them all look pedestrian. Very impressive. My notes were supposed to be on them, but he kind of stole the show." The Mariners have long believed in Thomas' abilities, but the command problems and a bout with shoulder pain last season have held up his development.  Right now, Thomas seems to be hitting his stride and putting himself into position to be called up to the big leagues sometime in 2008.
