Any help

[yanks12025]

Hello,
I have this Pat Tabler game used bat and its signed by the Albany Yankees(AA Eastern League). I was wondering if you guys can help me make out some of the autographs. Thanks

This is really weird

I looked up Pat Tabler to see if i can get a time frame of when these sigs would be from.

Pat was never inolved with the Yankees except for when he was drafted in the mid to late 70's and then traded in 81. He never played for the Yankees. According to looking through the internet the Albany Yankees were existance from 84 to 94 which Tabler would have been long gone since then.
So its weird someone would have a Pat Tabler game used bat and then have it autographed years after he left.

So I must say I am stupmped, but during those years there were a lot of big name Yankees that came from there

Jeter
posada
Mariano
Pettittte
Leyritz
Velarde
Pat Kelly
Roberto Kelly
Deion Sanders and a lot more


Send me some pics if you can I will try to figure it out

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE ROSTER LISTINGS FOR THEM DURING THERE YEARS I AM SURE IF YOU WENT THROUGH EVERY ROSTER YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MATCH SOME NAMES AND PINPOINT WHAT YEAR IT IS FROM

I see Andy Cook and Larry Stanford - both 1991 Albany-Colonie Yankees

The bat is a 1986-89 model and yes, the team is 1991 Albany-Colonie Yankees. Players on that team include... Brad Ausmus, J.T. Snow, Gerald Williams, Russ Springer.

I believe Tabler was probably a coach, as well as Bob Mariano that is right below the "Slugger" label and stopped playing pro ball in 1984 with Charlotte.

Probably just a GU Tabler bat that someone got somewhere and brought it to a A-C Yankees game to get sigs on. I saw that alot in Richmond AAA.
