Snagged 8 gamers from the 1955-57 Lincoln Chiefs (Western League) at an auction today. The former owner of these bats was the batboy for the team in those years...also snagged two game used balls and a couple of team photos. Players included in the bat lot are - Theodore Adkins, Rex Babcock, Joe Christopher, John Morse, Milt Nielsen (did not play for Lincoln and did not play for a team on Lincoln's schedule..a mystery??), Dick Barnhart (Sioux City), and Moore??? (Possibly Clarence or Edward who both played for Pueblo in 1955)...the Chuck Klein bat was used by one of the players but the guy had no idea which player used it...he just grabbed the cracked bats and took them home after games. He said at one time he had probably 40 or 50, but his mom sold them off through the years at flea markets and garage sales.
