What are you going to do with all those 1971 ticket stubs?

I need you to come over for dinner one night so I can show off my new man-cave furnishings.

Not many people will recognize his name, but for those that do will appreciate it. I recently acquired this 1930s Oscar George "Ox" Eckhardt Hillerich & Bradsby game used bat. Very heavy use shown with countless ball marks, stitch marks, and slight dead wood suggesting this gamer was deployed for full service!

Eckhardt holds the all-time professional baseball record for batting average, counting both major and minor league stats. Eckhardt .367 career batting average ends up fractionally ahead of #2 Ty Cobb, who’s career .366 is lowered marginally by his minor league stats.

I don't recognize the name but that sure is a great bat. Excellent game use evident, as you point out. Congrats.

That fact is a tremendous thing to know, and the bat is a superb piece, too. Is it part of a theme of your collection? Such as players whose stats surpass Cobb's stats in one category? Minor league pheenoms?

The look appeals to me for what I like to collect

I picked up a ticket stub and scored program from Joe DiMaggio's final multi-HR game on July 29, 1951. The Yankee Clipper hit 2 HR's in Game 1 of the doubleheader.

Nice graphics, Bob. What's the size on that one?
