1971 World Series Gamer
 

I have been looking for one of these 1971 Pirates World Series bats forever. Although I have seen a couple of Oriole examples, this is actually the very first one belonging to a Pirate that I have ever seen. It is a U-1 model, has bat rack marks, a clear tacky substance on the handle, and a few cleat indentations otherwise the use is very light as one would expect. Pagan's double won game 7 when he drove in Stargell. I have tried to photo match the bat with video from that moment but the video is so poor it is fruitless to try. Nonetheless I am thrilled add it to my 1971 Pirates collection.

Nice, rare bat, Mike.

Thanks I am very excited to add it to my collection. I now have three game used bats in my collection... only 797 away from catching you:p

Congrats Mike!

Ha, stop it! I always say, it's not the quantity, it's the quality. And you've got a good one there.

I heart Kiner

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Got these in the mail today.I think they are pretty cool.

Cool plate, Steve

Thanks Nate!

Nice stuff Steve. someone has been buying from Tony Q again...:)

Picked up this 1929-30 Almendares team photo at the National in Cleveland. Pictured are Martin Dihigo in a fairly early image along with Dick Lundy and several other minor stars..........

Nice pick up Steve. Wonder if Santo won a bet with Banks and that check was payment. Got to be a cool story behind it.
Drew

Thanks Drew.Yeah I wish I knew the story behind it.

Just picked up this 1874 Harper's Weekly Philadelphia Athletics woodcut over the weekend. Officially the oldest item in my collection.
Photo I took is a little blurry, can't seem to get a good shot with the iPad

Ernie banks really made out a check for 1 dollar to ron santo?

I'm sure you could probably write him a letter and ask him.

Trophy Tankard - 1877 James Dixon & Sons

Out of my area of expertise on this one, but it was (silver plate I believe), nice so picked it up at the National. About 6" tall, bottom reads 'James Dixon & sons Sheffield'. Engraving reads 'Ch.Ch. Athletic Sports 1877 A.A.Orr' (best I can tell-could be 'Oh.Oh.').

Turns out to be a cup presented at Christ Church (Oxford), probably for a footrace, possibly by future British Prime Minister Lord Rosebery (Archibald Primrose). Probably presented to A.A. Orr, but possibly presented by him instead. Googled documents now attached.

Pardon my weakness in spatial relations Scott, but give me some information I can understand--about how many ounces does it hold? :) (nice pick up)

Hey Todd. When I say 6", like most men I probably mean a little less :eek:

I guess it holds about a pint.

Great, so it's both ornamental and functional. Well played indeed.

Added this to my Furillo collection

AWESOME photo, Steve!

Graig

Thanks Graig!

Nice photo.
I could be mistaken, but it looks like a Barney Stein photo.
Very similar composition to this one(not mine)

Thanks Mark.I'm hoping to find out some info about it.

Congrats, Mike! What a steal!

Im sure your heart was pumping pretty good as you hit the BIN button. :D

1926-30 Danny "Dan" Taylor game used bat. Played for the Cubs from 1929-32, and for the Dodgers from 1932-36.

I have been looking to add a Hartnett photo from his MVP season of 1935 to my photo collection. Although I have come across many this is the first I liked aesthetically.

Beautiful photo Mike! Nice bat Nate!

14th Maine Team
 

14th Maine Team 5 x 7 glass negative. I liked the connections between military, baseball and photography in this one as well as the sign that says "don't hitch horses here". Positive image shown.

Thanks!

1991 Turner Ward game used playoff bat. Pounded with use and custom tape job. These aren't easy to get.
