Let’s start a game used bat thread.

[71buc]

Thanks Scott and Rob. I’m sure you both understand my elation. It’s an illness…

[Swadewade51]

Wow Mike what an upgrade!

Love that Clemente Bat!

So, I can now share that I've consigned my Mickey Mantle Game Used Bat (Triple Crown Era) to Heritage's August Platinum Auction. Will be with some incredible company (Ruth Called Shot Jersey, Jackie Robinson Jersey, Gehrig Jersey, Ruth Bat, Shoeless Joe Bat, DiMaggio Jersey, etc, etc). I'm honored. Will be exciting!

[71buc]

Beautiful bat! Good luck I hope you do well.

My favorite U1. This thing is a monster.

That's a nice stick! Like the no knob

Thanks Mike!

I'm not a bat expert but picked this up at an estate sale this weekend in Fort Worth. Looks like he played in the '20s for the Cardinals, Giants and Braves.

This is by far my favorite thread on Net54. So many awesome bats guys!

Michael,

Great Mantle bat! You truly have some really nice game used memorabilia!

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Tony! You have some wonderful items too!

Pretty new to the forum, but collecting since 1971. On my bucket list was a Barry Bonds SAM bat. I want to get the bat signed. What are my chances? However as Muhammed Ali said “Slim, and none. And Slim just left town.” 😂

Same here. It's a pleasure to look at these bats and to learn almost anything about them.

[Trublubrucru]

Dusting off this thread for a new season.

I just love it when I can move one of my bats from plastic tube to its own glass case on the Hall of Fame wall. Here is a Dave Parker that I've had for over 30 years. It's an 70's Adirondack 170X from his Pirate days. This war club is 36" long and it's barrel girth won't allow it to fit in a regular tube. I've always cherished this tree trunk. Here's to the Cobra!

[perezfan]

Awesome War Club!

Speaking of Ryno, does anyone else think fellow second baseman Jeff Kent should get more HOF consideration? Or is it just me?

I agree!

[CaramelMan]

The Yankees Torpedo Bat Genius brings wooden bats to the forefront!

As Cinderalla’s and mid-majors are over, professional Bats has been elevated to the next level….

Congrats on the wooden history within this thread….

[sicollector1954]

Here is a cert for my torpedo bat. LOL

Funny how they missed a few words in the sentence about no other player bringing a bottle bat to the plate.

[CaramelMan]

The original Torpedo Bat cool!
Only modern analytics of contact spots gave the Yanks the ballz to reshape bats 100 years after the first!

Scott

Ps my logo Bat just got sent to PSA in NJ for Taube to review (2001 Pujols Bat)

[Kzoo]

Hey Guys...........I picked this up today from a friend. Not sure on it's history, as his father has passed away. It's unused, 35" long, and 33.4 oz. I know Jordan used Wilson and LVS during the 1994 season, so I'm guessing this was some sort of prototype to try out or just a 'fantasy' bat that a Kissimmee Sticks employee created? Any thoughts? I'm guessing this bat never came within 100 yards of Jordan.

Had these 2 bats signed at the Mark Dehem fundraiser on Saturday.IMG_2893.jpg

Minor League San Bernadino Spirit, Marc Newfield game used bat got this at San Bernadino after the game

[Baseballcrazy62]

Been too long since anyone posted a gamer. Picked this McKinstry bat up on Saturday at the National. MLB Hologram states bat was used 8-28-22. Always happy to add a Tiger All-Star to the collection.

The chart show Kent had more power. But 9 gold gloves to zero shows clearly who was better fielder. Baserunner also to Rhino. And 7 silver sluggers to 4 shows longer peak. Kent is close but Rhino had more tools and was all around better 2nd baseman.

I don’t disagree but just think Kent should get more consideration. In his last year on the ballot, Jeff got a measly 46.5% of votes. He was a serviceable, not great, 2B and he has better numbers than Sandberg, Alomar and Biggio in certain categories. Whatever….overall, I think the majority of HOF voters are a bunch of hypocrites.

That's a pretty cool bat. Company probably made some hoping Jordan would use it. I have a Jeter made by Spalding. Never seen another one. Maybe same deal.

Happy to add the former all-star Rusty Staub gamer.

On your last point I agree 100%. The HOF voters are a bunch of Hypocrites. So much so that I no longer visit the HOF. But I have hope that things will sort them selves out and one day I will go and watch Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds induction.

[ooo-ribay]

I had this thought for another thread (where has the 19 c. stuff gone?) but it wasn’t really pertinent….

I have a buddy who used to go to Candlestick Park back in the 1960’s. He and his pre-teen buddies would find cracked gamers in the dumpsters.

[ooo-ribay]

Not a superstar, but Brian Johnson hit two of the Giants' biggest HR's of 1997 - bottom 12, beat the d*dgers on Sept. 18 and pulled the Giants into a tie for first. 6 days later, he homered top 9 to beat the Rockies. Y'all probably know, Glomar was a short lived bat company, named after the founder's two children, Gloria and Mario.

[magicwaters]

Thought the group would enjoy this bat. Jim "Catfish" Hunter game used (PSA 7) Reggie Jackson model bat from his Cy Young Award winning era. Have more posted on my IG (@magic_waters). Keep posting! Love to see you guys' bats!

[sicollector1954]

This was the BEST day ever for me when it comes to collecting game used bats!

[aelefson]

Wow! Did those come from an auction or a private buy? Any story behind them? Great bats!

No way!

[sicollector1954]

A private sale from someone who has collected as long as I have. The Mathews is especially nice...already graded PSA 9 from 1957-60 depending on the certs.

[perezfan]

Insane acquisitions.... Congrats!
