New Game Used Bat Book

[Nnunnari]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that there is a great book for bat collectors being released shortly (hopefully next month). Joe Orlando and his team did a fantastic job with this coffee table-style book highlighting the Top 100 player bats to collect in the hobby. The book should spark plenty of debate regarding who was included and subsequently left off of the list. To clarify, this is not the top 100 bats in existence but rather the top 100 players to collect.
Myself and a handful of forum members were able to contribute to the publishing and hopefully everyone enjoys the book.

Well..zero. Don't ask, pretty sour story.
Let's just say if the vet recommends a glossy piddle pad as being best for our dog, I will be utilizing this book.

Saying don't ask, only makes me even more curious.

I'm looking forward to this book. I also enjoyed your interview about putting the book together in the SMR.
How/Where/When can I buy this?

Re: New Game Used Bat Book

great news ! It's always a good thing when a new book on the hobby comes out, even if all the published books seem to cover the same area of interest: HOF players and consequently mainly the Hillerich & Bradsby brand. I'd love a reference book that covered all the other brands with game used models characteristics...

Got your message, thanks. I don't know how to reply to PM's on here, the message disappeared on my phone.

Re: New Game Used Bat Book

I was not aware of it, because John didn't ask or tell me, but he sent me a copy of the book and a few of the 500 homerun bats are mine
