The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Photo matches for the A's batting helmet:

-On top is a photo of Dunn celebrating after hitting a 2-run home run in his first at bat with the A's on 9/1/14. The top red circle highlights a small circle of yellow paint that made its way down from the helmet's bill during the painting process. The lower red circle highlights a strand of thread/glue on the ear padding.

-The 2nd match is from Dunn hitting his final career double (#334) and RBI's (#1167 and #1168) against the Rangers on 9/26/14. There are numerous small white scratches/transfer marks that match as well as the pine tar on the bill of the helmet.

Very nice. Wish he had stuck around for 500 HR. A shame.

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up that there's a gold Dunn gamer on A's auctions in case anyone may be interested. Ricardo

Thanks, Robert. I also wish he'd stick around a few more seasons but I'll always be thankful for the great moments and memories he gave me.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

I am way behind and I have about 8 items or more but here is my first one. Uncracked MLB authenticated Dunner from 2012. Picked this one along with 6 others at the garage sale. It has a giant leather mark above the end of the signature.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Here is Adam Dunn's 421 thru 424th HR bat and 16th - 18th of the 2013 season. He used this bat for 2 Hr's on June 10th, one on June 11th and one more on June 15th before breaking it 3 days later. He also knocked in 8RBI's during this period. I am 2-2 on matching Hr's when someone from the sox clubhouse leaves a post it on the bat. Def wasn't expecting this.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

I will be posting more individual pics as I try and match most of them but I moved a few and will move a few more and would like to post a full pic before my collection shrinks anymore. I will prob cut it down to 9-12 bats pending on how it all shakes out. I moved about 6 sets of cleats 6 bats and a few batting gloves but this is what I have at the moment.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

It was announced today that it is official - Dunn retires.

The White Sox years really hurt his numbers. Being this close to 500 and walking baffles me. He may have reached that time when he knows he can't do it anymore.

Gotta take his bat down from the 500 HR wall I have...sad

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

That's the best collection of Dunn White Sox bats I've ever seen!

Here's a maple D188 Louisville Slugger that Dunn used sometime between 2003-2006.

How many reds bats do you currently have in your collection?

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

This was a fun one for me. Its a combo bat and jersey that Dunn used when he swatted his 443rd career HR. This is also a first for me as I have never seen a combo jersey and bat combo used for a HR. I am sure there are some out there I just haven't seen any.

I'm currently enjoying 12 Dunn Reds bats in my collection.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Here are 4 more I picked up this weekend. I think I might be able to find an HR with the one at the bottom. I have found when you find one of these blonde ones with this much use there are 1 if not more. Watching video he must use these bats against certain types of pitchers because I have seen him go all game with a black bat then in the 9th he shows up with one of these hammered blonde bats.

Re: The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Here is a 2005 Louisville Slugger B345 Pro Beech bat that is MLB authenticated to 8/13/05 in Milwaukee. The handle was cleanly broken into 3 separate pieces, taped together in Milwaukee and then unwrapped and repaired by myself 9 years later. She has a slight tan line but is now solid as a rock.
