Let’s start a game used bat thread.

I love the character on these featured bats. The cleat marks and tar on Gallaraga so awesome!

You ought to like this one, then.

Giants closer Rod Beck. Rod got 18 AB's in his 7 years with the Giants and rapped out 4 hits (with one RBI) for a .235 average. In his 7 years with other teams, he only got 2 more AB's . Altho he didn't hit often or for average, Rod loved to take BP! I think he may have learned his taping technique from Bonds.

Awesome Beck bat.

Here is a great Justin Verlander game used pitcher bat from circa 2007.
Manufacturing date was 11 days before his first no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The signature was in person in 2007 or 2008 at a signing in DET with my kids.

Saltalamacchia and Mientkiewicz bats typically have character. I love these!

Just picked up a gamer of Giants' fan favorite Hunter Pence. A guy who deals in a lot of Giants gamers told me Pence and Brandon Crawford bats are very hard to find. My experience has borne that out. Other players from the Giants' 2010, 2012 and 2014 Championships are not nearly so scarce (e.g. Posey, Sandoval, Scutaro, Belt, Huff, etc). This bat has a production date of 1-18-2012...Hunter didn't get to the Giants until the trade deadline...but his autograph has an "8" with it (his Giants number) and there's an 8 in the cupped end, so I'm gonna say he didn't break this bat out until he got to SF.

A Barry Bonds gamer (same model as mine but without Bonds’ trademark criss-cross tape, post #333) sold last night at REA FOR $5250. I’m glad I got mine in the mid 90’s for 300 bucks.
