The Kansas City Royals game used thread

Picked up this Carlos bat. It has some really good use. I have a good lead on a match but not much hope. Just not a lot of pictures out there. I resized these pics too small...oops.

Picked up this pounded Hosmer GU helmet from 2013. I have it photomatched. I have to sit down and get the good screen captures. I'm very happy to add this.

Great looking Beltran bat, thanks for sharing.

Nice helmet Jeff. I remember watching games when Hos was wearing that helmet.

Tired of Chu getting on my case for not posting stuff... so here are a few items...

1983 George Brett - cracked, doesn't have much pine tar but does show a good amount of ball marks and seam impressions. Came from a Mariners clubhouse guy during a 4 game series in Seattle from 9/26/1983-9/29/1983. Two months after the infamous pine tar game. I heard a recounting of the pine tar game once that George said after the pine tar game he went sparse on the tar for a while, maybe that explains the light tar and also it is well documented that he cleaned up the actual pine tar game bat with alcohol and a cloth and may have done that to other bats as well to keep them below the 18 inch mark. And a picture of me and George the day he signed the bat for me.

Late 70s, circa 1978, cleats used by George Brett. George had an endorsement deal with Spotbilt in the late 70s early 80s, before switching to Puma in mid 80s and Nike in late 80s.

This is probably my favorite Billy Butler bat. It is photo-matched to games from 9/7/2009 through 9/11/2009.

Photo-matched to 5th inning and 8th inning HRs on 9/7/2009 - 3 for 4 with 2 HRs (Career #35 & 36).

Photo matched to 9/9/2009 - 3 for 5 with 3 doubles (#45 on Season & Career Double #90).

Based on the hits with this bat, Billy won AL Player of the Week on 9/14/2009 and he also won AL Player of the Month.

With the three Double game on 9/9/2009 became first player since at least 1900 to have 4 3-Double games in a single season. I have the bats from two of those four games.

here is the second of my 3-double game bats from 8/8/2009... broken 8/11/2009. Note the crushed in cupped end and the slivered handle, then check out the series of photos from the game capture. I'm not sure why Billy was trying to fix the cupped end, but I love the face he made and how hard he tried to salvage this bat... I'm not sure if the handle was not cracked yet or if he didn't notice because he fouled off the next pitch as well and you can see he took the pieces to the bat boy and got a new bat.

Thanks Wes. I actually thought I had it matched to the game we sat on the PPP against the Marlins at first. But it wasn't it.

Great items as always that you posted. I can't wait to own a Brett anything!
