I have been looking for McGwire gamers, its a a tough task to find a real gamer I am finding out! But anyways looking at some of the bats most of them I can recognize as being legit game model bats..the use is isnt usually correct or the bat has hardly any use. I then have to ask myself why did he stop using it? McGwire was well known for using a bat til it got deadwood or cracked. Most often if he stopped using an uncracked it was a gift and he would sign it..so....I got to wondering just how many bats were stolen from the Big Guy...staff, visitors or even players.
I remember reading about a spring training incident where another yankee trying to make the roster stole a Jeter bat and glove..he took it to a collect who paid him hansomly for the "find". I wonder how often it happens...
i also remember hearing stories of players marking other players numbers on bats as a way to make them less desirable for people as they saw them sticking out of the bat racks...For instance Glenallen Hill had problems with people taking his lumber and would mark a bench player's number on the knob of his bats...If Glenallen was having that problem you can only imagine guys like Pujols, rodriguez, jeter, howard have problems with missing bats...Anybody want to contribute a story or their thoughts on the missing bats problem?
