Thurma Munson Bat on Ebay

Does anyone know if Munson taped his bat handles? I don't recall ever seeing this.

Here's a photo I found on Getty. This bat looks like it has tape.

The Munson bat is solid and Munson occasionally did tape the handle of his bats as pictured. The bat boy story is legit, as I have spoken to that guy in the past and you can't get a Munson with more provenance than that. It's getting up in price and nice Munson bats are hard to find........good luck to anyone bidding! Jim

She sold for $5,600.........Munson bats have definitely seen a marked increase in value in the last few years...........

Thegoodz15,
I was not trying saying any thing bad about the Munson bat you sold. It was a great looking bat and Thurman should be in the Hall. I also hope you get a Lou gehrig game used bat(i would love one of his, hes my favorite player). I'm only 17 and my goal is just to get a Gehrig autograph and then i think im done with collecting.

ok mr yanks 1025.....i was the gentleman with the thurman munson bat and the mickey mantle bat....the photograph you have is totally ng....i have collected munson items since 1984 and im sorry to tell you its not close....as for the munson bat it was drop dead gorgeous as its the first bat i ever sold of thurman munson...i thought it was time for someone else to enjoy it and use the money for a lou gehrig game used bat...hence im really a louisville slugger guy where if you have watched i have paid 5,000 for any great louisville munson bat....all in all thurman should be in the hall of fame and his stuff as mr jim caravello has stated is rare and always appreciates......enjoy the hunt.....respectively...scott g
