1.Don Mattingly mid '90s Cooper-Let's face it,if you grew up in the tri-state in the '80s and rooted for the Yankees,Donnie Baseball was the man.
2.Jason Giambi 2000-2001 era Louisville G174-My favorite current player..despite the juice,loved the guy even when he played for Oakland and would KILL the Yanks.
3.Sal Fasano 2005 Sam Bat-It's Sal Fasano.Enough said.

A Luis Gonzalez Rawlings bat used in the 2001 post-season. Tons of use and filthy with pine tar, but uncracked.

A Louisville Slugger that Randy Johnson brought with him from Houston to ST in Tucson for the DBacks in '99. I've never seen another one of his Astros bats, and he put a really nice signature on this one.

A Louisville Slugger made for (then DBacks coach) Robin Yount in '03; borrowed and cracked by infielder Tony Womack, Yount inscribed it in black sharpie, "To Tony Dickhead, Happy Fungo Hitting" and put a nice signature on it.

That Yount bat isn't a fungo is it? I know, I know...why would Tony Womak be borrowing a fungo? I'm just asking in case it is...I'd love to see it.

Tino Martinez Game Used Bat - If I can't have a Mattingly, Tino will be my next pick for Yankees first basemen. He was there during the World Series Years.



Jorge Posada 2007 Game Used Bat from Clemens 350th Win - Posada is having an amazing year and his bats always have great characterisitics. This is Steiner/MLB authenticated and the best thing is, it only cost me $100!!


Johnny Damon 2006 Game Used Bat - Most recent bat pickup, and it's one of my favorites. Damon is a great guy.

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

TFig - please tell me how you snagged a Posada gamer for $100.....I'm all ears!

I'm thinking he got it in that Steiner $100 take a chance drawing they had a couple months ago. Quite a few Posada and Brosius abd Giambi bats came out of that.

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...
