Well close enough.

I needed a Geoff Blum and Raul Casanova bat to finish my 2005 White Sox World Series Bat Set. A White Sox LS bat would have been a perfect fit for Blum but I have never seen one. I believe he ordered 12 that year. Maybe BMH can confirm? ;)

As far as Casanova I know from the White Sox he never ordered bats while with the team and only had 5 at bats that year.

These two bats will work perfect for the set and I now have all 21 position players from the 40 man roster.

Only took 4 years!

Now I just need to get the following three pitchers to round out the starters and ace reliever.

Jenks
Contreras
Garcia

Thanks,

Glen
