Manny Ramirez 1998 Game Used Young bat

I want to give a big thank you to Tim Byington at Hall of Fame Bats for selling me this gem of a Manny bat.

Young Bats were based out of Brevard,NC in the late 90's and are no longer in business so this is a really tough find. Bat shows nice game use with pine tar, ball marks and blue ink transfers, seam marks, weighted donut impression and a perfect early Manny Ramirez signature.

Looks like the Baseball Assistance Team was busy in the late 1990s picking up the jerseys after the game for their charity. I believe the 1998 jerseys from the All Star Game was also originally from them also.

Pete Rose 1975-76 Adirondack game used bat. Rose really only used this bat during their two World Series years. Then he went back to LS. I'm going to have him sign it next weekend in Vegas. I'm going to try and persuade him to sign it game used. Pete might do it for enough $! You know Pete. It's my favorite Pete bat. I had one before and sold it and have always regretted it. Lots of pictures of Pete using this bat in 75 and 76.

Snagged these 2 bats. The first is a bat Ryan Garko used and then signed from the 05 USA Futures Game. The second is one of the few bat models I didnt have, a J121. Now I'm down to just needing a P72C and a B370.

The bat came from Lockerroom Memorabilia and the bat was gathered along with other game used items of Garko's (batting gloves, shoes, etc) and were signed after the game at a private session.

Well I just got the deal done for this bat!!! Its a Norichika Aoki GU auto NPB bat. If you followed the WBC, you know who he is. He re-guarded in japan as a better pure hitter then Ichiro, and is the top prospect for the MLB besides Darvish. To call this bat hard to get would be a understatement!! He hardly ever signs in english, and it came from a charity raffle. The bat show very light use from what I have bin told, a few rack streaks and a few contact marks. I should get it in a few weeks from japan, It will be delayed do to the National holiday of golden week. I will post more picture when it gets here if any one is interested.

Here's something you don't see on this forum. This is a game used cricket bat. Used by former Australian opening batsman GEOFF MARSH.

Cricket bats are quite rare, as a player would usually only use one or two per season. They are made to last, and rarely crack.

This bat shows both red and white ball marks. Red balls used during day games, white balls used in day/night games.

Notice the fiberglass tape on the bat. This is allowed on bats in cricket, and merely prevents any further damage to a favored bat.

The rubber handle grip is lost to time.

Bat dates to around 1990-92 based on the design.

I'm sure alot of you are thinking "what the @$?!"

Here's something you don't see on this forum. This is a game used cricket bat. Used by former Australian opening batsman GEOFF MARSH.

I'm sure alot of you are thinking "what the @$?!"

I actually think it's very cool to see (and learn the different mark colors). Nice pickup!

So far, May has been a very successful month on the Cubs pickups. So far, I've picked-up:

* 1989 Set 2 - Don Zimmer Home Cubs Uniform w/ tobacco stains - possible photomatch to a getty image from late '89.

* 1988 BP - Andre Dawson from BIGSTIG - possible photomatch to an August 23, 1988 picture note the neck cut. I talked to Dawson this evening at a signing and he mentioned remembering having to cut some of the necks on the BP jerseys.

* 1992 Andre Dawson GU Worth bat.

* 2008 GU DeRosa and Aramis Ramirez bats

* 2008 GU Matt Murton A's Road Grey Jersey

2007 Lastings Milledge Mets BP cap.

Hologrammed to the final day of the 2007 season, but it has tons of sweat stains so it was probably used longer than that.

Now I have Milledge's last ever Mets jersey, batting helmet and BP cap.

Hard to see in this pic but there is a finger-width wide area of dirt/pine tar on the brim. Just like if you had pine tar on your finger while you took the hat off.

Obviously I love the jersey as Woody ranks right up on most Tigers' fans favorite athletes list, but it's interesting why he would have "QB sleeves" on a #20 jersey. QBs must be numbered 1-19, so they obviously knew he wasn't going to wear this jersey and play QB. Maybe it's just how he likes the feel. Who knows.

They spelled his name wrong as he has 2 "N's" in his last name so he took a Sharpie and added the 2nd "N" himself. Z-I-M-M-E-R-M-A-N-N

I made out well on this trip to the stadium. I got a Home Run bat from Elijah Dukes but he forgot the Home Run inscription so I will photo that later when I get that back with the inscription.

I posted the new Ryan Zimmerman "hit streak" bat on the back of of VintageDeputy's thread on Zim's hit streak.

Here's something you don't see on this forum. This is a game used cricket bat. Used by former Australian opening batsman GEOFF MARSH.

Cricket bats are quite rare, as a player would usually only use one or two per season. They are made to last, and rarely crack.

This bat shows both red and white ball marks. Red balls used during day games, white balls used in day/night games.

Notice the fiberglass tape on the bat. This is allowed on bats in cricket, and merely prevents any further damage to a favored bat.

The rubber handle grip is lost to time.

Bat dates to around 1990-92 based on the design.

I'm sure alot of you are thinking "what the @$?!"

Made a trade with Steve White a while back. I sent him a Don Baylor Hat and he was going to send me a Chone Figgins hat plus cash. Got the cash but it took a while to get the hat due to his military assignment. I got the hat yesterday and as a bonus, he sent me a early 1970's salesman sample of an Angels jersey from Goodman and Sons.

Martin Prado game used 2008 bat. Prado cracked this bat on July 13th by slamming it on home plate after striking out. You can hear the bat crack while watching video of the strikeout.

Carlos Delgado - Game Used Jersey - 37th Home Run Jersey - 2008 just picked up from MLB auction. The real beauty of this jersey is also on this day of Sept 21 2008 Carlos also collected his 2000th career hit. Everyone missed this one. I thought someone would have put 2+2 together, but i won it with the opening bid.

What a weekend...

Friday, my son and I were on the field for BP for the Brewers vs. Twins (funny how Twins season-ticket holders only get to see the visitor's BP) and Mat Gamel broke a bat. As soon as he finished that round, I called over to him. I asked if my son could have his bat and he shook his head "yes". After the Brewers were done, the ushers were trying to get us off the field. I said, "no" that Mat was going to give my son his bat and they said I could wait a minute. Sure enough, Gamel comes over and gives my son the bat I told him that my son and he sare the same name. So, he signed the bat and exchanged well-wishes. I know there are some Brewers fans on here. This kid has a great personality. If his talent measures up to how nice he was to my son (and it seems that it does), then he's going to be a great one.

So, on Sunday, my son and I waited pre-game for the Twins for autos. I brought along my 2008 Morneau GU bat hoping he would see us and stop. For you that remember my other post, my 2008 is my "packing-peanut bat". Sure enough, Justin stopped and we talked about the bat and how I spent a long time picking off the pacing peanuts with tweezers. He and his wife had a good laugh about it. Anyway, he was nice enough to inscribe it for me, so here it is...

So, as if my weekend wasn't already great enough, I went over to the Twins Pro Shop. I was told by multiple people that they had a pounded Morneau bat there. Sure enough, I got there and couldn't put it down. My wife was kind enough to give me her approval and I bought it. I have been able to trace it back using my own photos and ones from Getty and others. Morneau started using this bat on 4/28/09 and cracked it hitting a double on 5/3/09. This bat has 2 HR's in it and is the most pounded Morneau I have ever seen. Here are some pics. Thanks for reading.

1935-1936 Woodley Abernathy bat...sidewriting "Horace Partidge Co. 3-27-36"

Abernathy was a International League player in Baltimore in 1935 he hit 31 HRs and 1936 he was the HR champ of the league with 42... over 13 minor league seasons he hit .315 with 210 home runs

One of the ground-level signs they replaced at Chase Field when they changed the team colors a couple of years ago. (Note the Braille version near the bottom...no doubt warning the vision-impaired to "watch out".)

Picked up my first World Series bat a 2008 Willy Aybar.

Also won my fourth Devil Rays pitchers bat, a 2008 Edwin Jackson.

In over 4 years of serious collecting I only bought two pitchers bat, now I have bought two in the last two months...

Being a Devil Rays bat collector, prior to 2008 it would have been impossible to add a World Series bat to my collection. Never say never......

Here are the pics. plus some other new bats.

Has anyone seen a Carolina Clubs with the American Flag on it???

It is, isn't it? I've been checking out those signs since 1998, wondering whether I'd ever have an opportunity to own one. Now I'll be picking this one up tomorrow morning. They're pretty good-sized, and metal. They sell smaller, plastic replicas in the Team Shop, but the real thing is a whole lot better.


Has anyone seen a Carolina Clubs with the American Flag on it???

I've got a Matt Williams CC w/the flag. I asked Matty if he remembered what year he used it, whether it was 2001, and he said he didn't think it was, but he couldn't say for sure. Does anyone know for sure whether the flag was just put on for a specified time - and, if so, when that was?

I've gotten so many great bats on GUU this month! Thanks guys, for all the great bats and great deals! My "favorite of the month" keeps changing but I have narrowed it down to three exceptional ones:

Rare Marty Cordova 2002 brown SAM bat. I can go years and not find a Cordova bat I haven't seen!


http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/272818/MCbrownSAM.jpg


Mike Pazik Twins pitcher's bat. A beauty! Here's what Mike Specht said about it: "Congrats Helen-- you may own one of the most obscure bats on the forum." The color is brown to almost black (not as light as in photo) so first Hickory finish bat I have owned.

And a Bob Hegman bat. Played in only one major league game. Born in Minnesota!
