I was able to grab some Rickey Henderson "hit" bats from a personal friend of Rickey's, including a HR bat. I hadn't seen any of these before. As a teammate of Tony Gwynn's at the time, I'm sure Tony told Rickey to start numbering some of his bats as he approached the milestone. He even colored in a few of the bats like Tony used to. I was at Tony's final game when Rickey hit #3,000 with one of these same natural finished Rawlings.
For all of you Rickey fans out there, I hope you enjoy!

Nice looking bats, but Rickey doesn't have quite the handwriting skills of Tony Gwynn does he?

I was thought about buying his Red Sox jersey he was selling but the handwriting/long inscription on the back numbers really turned me off on it.

I agree, rather sloppy handwriting. I still thought the Sox jersey was a nice piece.

Ray- I'll most likely be moving a couple of them at some point, I'll keep you posted. I'm sure I'll send one to Ken's next auction as well.

Nice Rickey bats. Did these come from Mike Weiss (who I am told now goes by the name of Mike Grossberg)?

Thanks and no, they were not sourced from Mike Weiss.
