Got this back in the mail today from Steiner. Broken bat while Rivera was pitching in his last game in Detroit on 4/7/2013.

Hologram number EK354593 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under GAME-USED BROKEN BAT.

That bat is awesome

Picked up a pair of 2013 Javy Baez autographed game used Nike cleats. I know cleats are not the top item most collectors here look for when seeking game used items to add to their collection but I have to say they are nearly at the top of my list as I love how easy they are to display. While these are not the most expensive item in my collection they are certainly my new favorite item!

Awesome cleats wrigley, how/where did you acquire them?

[Roady]

I like cleats too. And they are usually both signed.

I don't get it. It's like having a Kobe Bryant jersey signed by Michael Jordan. Separately, they're both cool. But together they just don't make sense.

I love the bat and the idea , you made an average bat cool because Rivera broke it. Very cool idea.

Agreed, great piece with great historical and conversational value!
