Rancho Cucamonga, CA- The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are now auctioning off select game-worn home and road jerseys in a series of week-long, online-only auctions on their website, www.rcquakes.com.
The home jerseys are sleeveless tops with 'Quakes' written across the chest and the player's last name and number on the back of the jersey. Road uniforms are sleeveless grey tops with "RC" (the Quakes road logo) in the upper right hand corner of the jersey.
First on the block will be the road jersey for 1B Mark Trumbo and the home jersey for IF Larry Infante.
Mark Trumbo was the most powerful hitter on the Quakes team in 2008. After spending '06 and '07 in Cedar Rapids, Trumbo dominated Cal League pitchers to the tune of 26 home runs (second most in the Cal League), 68 RBI, 70 runs and 28 doubles in 103 games. His 56 extra-base hits ranked 4th in the league even though he was promoted to Double-A Arkansas in late July. Overall, Trumbo led the Angels Organization with 32 home runs and 93 RBI during the season. He is currently playing in the Arizona Fall league for the Scottsdale Scorpions.
Larry Infante was the every day third baseman for the Quakes through the 2008 season. A native of Charallave in Venezuela, Infante played in 111 games and batted .274 with two home runs and 38 RBI and tied for third on the team with 24 doubles. Infante was named the Cal League's "Best Defensive Third Baseman" by Baseball America in 2008.
The opening bid for Infante's jersey will be $125 and Trumbo's will be $150. Bidding increases will be made in $10 increments. Auctions will close exactly seven days after they open and shipping will incur an additional $6.00 on top of winning auction bids. After completion of each set of auctions, a new set of jerseys will be posted by the next business day. Be sure and visit www.rcquakes.com often for the latest jersey auctions.
