He said Louisville slugger made a bat with his name on it, but he was never able to track one down. I know he isn't a major leaguer, but if he had a bat with his name stamped on it, I figure there has to be one or two floating around out there somewhere. Maybe Dan, considering you are a Nebraska collector, might know something. I've also seen people mention picking up minor league bats here and there. If any of you have a Carl Geist bat, please let me know! I would love to see a pic or maybe even buy it!
Thanks

Do you know if it was a signature model or a block lettered last name? Either way, I would guess it would be pretty difficult to find one.
