The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

[Juan Gris]

Here's a Carolina Clubs Pro Model Adam Dunn bat. I've yet to see another one of his CC bats or a picture of Dunn using one in batting practice, spring training or a game. Despite multiple attempts to contact Carolina Clubs, I've been unable to locate any of Dunn's bat order records. I believe the American Flag decals were placed on CC bats sometime after the 9/11 attacks which would likely date this bat to the 2002 season. Former Reds player Sean Casey appeared to use nothing but CC bats in Getty images from 2001 and 2002 and the American flag decal only started appearing on his bats in 2002 game photos (as early as 2/28/02). If anyone has any insight or information on this bat I'd love to hear it.

Here are two Adam Dunn locker number plates from games played in Kansas City. The #32 plate is from his 2011 season with the White Sox and the #10 plate is from the 2014 AL Wild Card game between the A's and Royals.

Here is Adam Dunn's batting helmet from his 25-game run with the Oakland Athletics. It is MLB authenticated to the Wild Card Playoff game against the Royals (hence the "Postseason 14" sticker on back) but I believe I can photo match it to every regular season game he played with Oakland. Dunn was wearing this helmet while recording his final career H, 2B, HR, R, RBI, BB, HBP and SO.

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.

Awesome helmet. Def one of a kind. You need to find a D-Backs helmet to go with that one.

Thanks! I'd love to someday track down a Dunn D-Backs helmet. In 2008, he only played in 44 games with Arizona (a fitting number) and I'm not sure if they ever wore different helmets for home and away games or if they had a special throwback style 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.

Thanks, Ricardo, I'll check it out!

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.
