 [/IMG]I, too, really like this stuff. Amazing bats, guys. And I can appreciate what the photo must mean to you. If there is room for another item, here's mine: When I was a boy, not long after my grandfather died, I was helping my grandmother clean out her basement, and I found a few old bats. One was a Jack Fournier decal bat, one was a Black Betsey softball bat, and the third bat was completely covered with tar. After my grandmother said I could have the bats, I scraped some tar off the big bat and found the name "Felsch" on the barrel. I didn't know him at first, and I was initially disappointed to learn that he was an "outlaw." But I changed my mind when I read Eight Men Out. I wrote to the Hillerich and Bradsby company about the bat, and got a very encouraging letter in response. All this led me to start collecting prewar cards and, much later, some more old bats. So, the bat brings back a lot of good memories. But I think I like it the most because it used to belong to my grandfather, who was a pretty big baseball fan in his own right.
