This I actually have thought about loaning to a baseball museum, but that would be the Babe Ruth Museum down in Baltimore. It's a bat from the movie The Babe Ruth Story and it belonged to William Bendix at one time, then his relatives, who were great friends with my grandparents. Probably went untouched from the time it was stored away until I put my grubby 7-year-old hands on it. Luckily it was too big to swing back then and it has remained on display since I got it. That's why it's in such great shape.

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
