1967 Tom Seaver rookie game used bat:

I have only seen late career, typically Reds era, bats for him mostly...pitchers bats are tough, Tom being an inner circle HOF pitcher, was thrilled to find this rookie bat with great use, pine tar on upper handle and a 41 on the knob.

Officially joined the Mike Trout club. Picked up this 2017 uncracked bat with Anderson coa. It was used on April 14 to record his 902 career hit and his 530 rbi.

[TigersCubs84]

That Trout is a great bat. Awesome! Congrats!

1998 Paul O'Neill bat:

I collect NYY bats specific to '98, so grabbed another O'Neill bat for that team. It has a couple of eyes written on the barrel, which I have seen for him on maybe another bat or two before.

[pjbmd]

According to Paul's brother Robert the clubhouse manager Robbie cuccuzoa would place these eyes on bats when he hadn't had a hit for a while--allowing his bat to "see" the ball

In helping out a Cubs fan co-worker get a Willson Contreras item, ended up with some spikes myself. Included in the batch are a couple pairs used in the Playoffs this year, the first being a silver pair.

[gorilla777]

And a white pair from the Playoffs for Contreras...

All,

I haven't posted here in a while. This pickup is a very relevant one given the recent Astros' World Championship.

1996 Tim Raines World Series used bat:

I added to the '96 Yankees set with this bat used by Raines in the World Series, with the distinct red ink transfers from WS baseballs.

[TigersCubs84]

Picked up a Machado a bit ago. Finally got around to showing it. Also picked up a Giancarlo which I hope to show in the future.
