New package arrived last week! And a shot of all of them together. He has been through quite the variety. Last year he prefered MAX bat, but his year he has been pretty loyal to Marucci and lately only the 2-tone version. The top bat was used in the 2011 AFL. All others are 2012 and 2013. Keep swinging Big City!!!! Bring that WS back to STL!
What a way to end the season of Adams pickups! These came indirectly from Matt himself. The batting gloves and cleats are the last of the season which means playoffs and WS. I have a style match on both for the playoffs. He wore another pair of cleats for the WS though, and I just missed on those. But the highlight is the glove. Matt said he started breaking in this glove late last season (AAA) and used only this glove for the entire year including playoffs and WS. Said he didn't need it anymore since Rawlings gave him 3 new ones to break in over the Winter for next year. I was happy to take it off his hands. He wouldn't say what the CJS #3 was for (personal), and I just noticed the "FI". Gonna ask him aobut that too. When I get some time I will match the glove to some WS game pics.
Was going through some Adams stuff on ebay and found a listing for autographed photos. Saw this photo and recognized it had to be from the 2011 AFL.....based on the hats of the players in the background, his uni number, and no fans in the stands....Remembered that I had an AFL bat of his. Think I have a match.
Bart, very nice.....love that bat! Was it in pieces when you got it? I remember one game, but I think it was later in the year, he was using an all black Marucci, struck out, and slammed the bat to the ground in several pieces.
NLDS GM 4. The playoff balls had silver/gray ink this year. You can see that color transfer on the bat. So far, the only playoff bat sold by the team. Hope there are some more at the WWU next weekend!
Here's what I found out on my Adams WS bat. The bat was auth to game 4. He broke a bat in NLCS gm 5 on his second AB. I think he started using this bat for his final 2 ABs of NLCS gm 5. I have it matched to his second and fourth AB of NLCS gm 6. I think I also have it matched to WS gm 2 first and second AB, also WS gm 3 his fourth AB, and WS gm 4 his second AB. The auth doesn't say when he broke it which is strange, but I have a theory. On his third AB he struck out looking. I think he went to the dugout and whacked the bat on the step or something because there is a big gash in the bat barrel, and in his fourth AB of gm 4 he is using another bat. If all of this is true, then he used this bat to get all 3 of his WS hits before breaking it.
