I went very low-tech, low cost and made use of hat/coat racks to can find a Lowes, Home Depot, etc...

Great bat displays by both of you. Dave -- For yours, did you need to place the pegs on the left a little higher up to account for the difference in the thickness of handle vs. barrel or was that not necessary? Thanks

the handmade displays are very fine: it helps to make the collection seem like it's really your own collection. For my collection, I'm thinking of getting a large poster of an old dugout and laying the bats next to each other on the floor in front of the poster. Of course, I'd have to run this past my wife.

I've done a few things. The last, black thing, is the bottom shelf of an Ikea bookcase. I have four of those and still have 50 other bats leaning on walls.

I love photos/cards of the dugouts showing the lumber, bat racks, etc. Always makes me wonder if any of the bats in the photos survived. Where did they go? Into a dumpster? Kindling for a fire? Hanging in someone's den or maybe in a corner of a room somewhere? Every one of them went somewhere, but which ones survived?

Although I can't prove it, I like to think that maybe my Ty Cobb bat is one of these in the photo.

Yes the racks on the left are placed a bit higher so that the bats display in a more level manner..

Thats awesome guys!!!!! I need to make something to display my bats as well. I have about 10 that are just stashed off in a corner on top of a yankee stadium seat. Thanks for the ideas!!!

Dave,

Really like the bat display with the GU bats especially the Orioles bats. Of course you may “need” to add another GU Adirondack bat to the mix (how bout a Blair Adirondack).
