Re: Who among us has the most bats of a single player?
Back in the mid ninties when the 86 Mets did a reunion show in NJ I wheeled around a laundry cart full of 25 gamers for almost all the players to sign. Only had one bat for each player except Gary Carter who inspected all 5 bats I presented him.
The only other time I presented multiple bats to a player was to Ed Hearn when he visited my home for a private signing and I asked him to sign 5 gamers too. As he was signing he asked me if I wanted anything inscribed and I said what ever comes to mind meaning 86 Mets, his number etc, and he jokely said "I'll sign this one that I hit a home run with it! At which point we both looked at each other and cracked up

Re: Who among us has the most bats of a single player?
earlywynn I understand what your saying and there was a thread started some time ago about members who they collected and why and I am sure that thread can answer your question for some of the members of who they collect.
Darryl Strawberry you can consider him a stiff I am a realist, yes he did coke, he was an alcholic, had domestic problems and tax evasion, off the field he wasn't the greatest.
But on the field he was a fear at the plate to this day critics say he had one of the sweetest swings in baseball cuz he would swing with grace with a high kick and produce some amazing home runs. At heart he really is a great guy having encountered him in many occasions he is great to people and to fans. Even the majority of his teamates have said through the years he was a great guy with the exception of a couple.
Jeter even said that Strawberry was his mentor and that Strawberry took him under his wings and helped him up from the minors. One of Strawberrys books was foreworded by Jeter. I remember when the Yankees found out he had cancer and had the #39 stitched in there caps, Jim Leyritz who as on a different team at the time wrote in silver marker on his cap #39 while he was playing.
Growing up as a kid watching Strawberry step up to the plate and being one of the most feared hitters through the 80's into the 90's was a beautiful thing. Even his comeback time with the Yankees he still produced amazingly for not being a full time player.
So hopefully in my case anyway you can see why I follow Strawberry.

Re: Who among us has the most bats of a single player?
I am currently at 9 Ripken Jr. and hoping to add more. It may end up being addition by subtraction as I probably need to sell one or two duplicate models to add a different model.
