2 McGwire Bat pickups , 13 down , 2 left to complete career

[panthrotc]

I Recently added 2 elusive bats to my Mark McGwire bat collection. 1991 and the injury shortened season of 1994 have finally been acquired. The goal back when I acquired my first bat in 2003 was to someday own a bat from every season , 1987-2001. I am now only 2 bats away as I'm missing 1988 and 2000. Pretty excited as sometime in the future they will be added. 13 down , 2 to go.

So now we have :
87, 89,90,91,92,93,94,94,95,96,97,98,99,01

Missing : 88 & 00


91 - Top
94 - Bottom







Here are the others.
Top to bottom - 87,89,90,92,93,95,96,97,98,99,01

Nice collection! Hope you find the last two years. That's the one thing I like about Rawlings bats you can always pinpoint them to the year.

Thanks man , There is a 88' im going to go after in an upcoming auction. 2000 is a year that is not too hard to find. Considering that he has now changed his signature , I'm only going after pre signed examples.

That's a great way to do it. If you can find period signatures, that's always the way to go.

Is there a variance in the length of the bats from early to late career, or is it just the photo?

I believe it's just the photo

Hi there-

Happy to stop bidding on the one up for auction if you can help direct me to an early bat 1987-1990 with moderate to heavy use.

I've got a hammered '92 that is signed if interested. Shoot email for pics.

Re: 2 McGwire Bat pickups , 13 down , 2 left to complete career

I upgraded my 92' as I want bats that are period correct examples.

Thanks to Bob Koppell I added a gorgeous 92' example.








Here is my old 92' that I sold off in order to replace it with the period correct 92'.
Since McGwire has now changed his signature , buying non pre signed bats is out of the question now. This bat was bought unsigned then signed through a private signing in 2013-2014.
