Garvey Records - Mike Specht - are you out there?

[JimCaravello]

Just received a request to check on Garvey's records for a bat listed on ebay which ends at noon today ( it's 9 AM EST ). I don't physcially have Garvey's records with me and won't be able to check them until tonight - which is after auction end. Mike - if you are reviewing GUU this morning - can you follow up on the following auction item and look at the records? I'll also e-mail you - thanks, Jim

ebay Listing #: 260229661663

Hi Jim-- just looked at the auction and it closed a few minutes ago--- H & B records do not document Garvey's use of M110 at any time during his career from 1968 through 1988. There was not much info on the bat, but during that labeling period you would want to see 35 inches / 34 or 35 ounces -- Model C263. Also, the signature on this bat is either a second version of Garvey's signature (see 1976 Garvey bat here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200212480445&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=010 or it is a different player (hard to tell from the pics)--That could be determined easily with a comparison to The Garv's signature on a 1984 Padres NL Champs bat.

PS--sorry for the late entry, but got up late today after watching the Rockies pound the Padres in the ninth inning last night at Petco
