Has anyone or does anyone have a Joel Youngblood 1976 game used bicentennial bat (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS292US293&ei=650hS_zGKMrClAfdnuWKCg&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&ved=0CAgQBSgA&q=1976+game+used+bicentennial+bat&spell=1) . He appeared in 55 games that season with the Reds. A form member recently picked up a Doug Flynn bat from that year much to my dismay.I am sure there is also more than one Flynn bat from that year at least I hope. I am also looking for a needle in a hay stack a Pat Zachary bat from that season.Has anyone ever saw any of these or are they in anyones collection. I just picked up my 6th Youngblood bat hopefully it will be here by Sat..Thanks for any information and any help..This is a wanted post but also any advice on where I might locate any of these 3 bats would be great.

You might try running a classified ad in the papers around Geneva/Aurora IL. I had one over 15 years ago and donated it to a charity auction at the Kane County Cougars' off-season dinner, as Youngblood was signed to be the new manager for the upcoming season. Assuming someone in the area won it, it may well still be out there.
