Jim,

yup, he is correct. i got it by taking part in there $100 bat lotto.
75% of the bats were either posada or giambi i believe.

so for $400 i got:
a posada bat
a giambi bat
a miguel cairo bat
a johnny damon used jason giambi model bat

the most bang for my buck i ever got from steiner

this lotto made up for the $200 one where i got a mark whiten bat

It's a LS K100. I'll pull it out later today and post a couple of photos.

Seems my camera battery is dead. I'll have to post the photos tomorrow.

Have alot of bats I love, but will try an narrow to three:

1) Dave Kingman rookie era W215. His name is full in the facsimilie script. Only time you'd see it...

2) Dave Kingman pre-rookie Adirondack tee-pee label. Got it from Jim on the forum. Not replaceable...

3) Dave Kingman C235 84/85 label. Unfinished. Love unfinished bats, shows massive use. Bats are tools, not diamonds - don't care about beauty so much...

Honorable mention: McGwire WS bats, Thome Indians and White Sox bats hammered, Adam Dunn maple bat (unfinished) and hammered...

This will be the first time I've attempted to post photos to this board, so we'll see how it goes.

harpt asked to see the Yount bat, and astrosfan wanted to see pics of the RJ bat, so here (hopefully) are photos of all three of the bats that I wrote about.



Yeah, as long as the Yount bat is, I guess you'd have to call it a fungo!






There are only a couple of minor ball marks on the reverse of the barrel...about what you'd expect from one of Randy's bats.

Very cool. Thanks for posting that.
