January Pickups

Re: January Pickups

Assuming this is an S210 model the speculation is based on the timing of the order. From the Malta guide it looks like the 33" S210 model was ordered by Schoendienst only in 1958. I don't have the dates of the order(s), but if one or both were made in late September then it would certainly be possible that it was used in the World Series.

My original post should have read "speculation is likely based on the timing of the order".

Re: January Pickups

Just curious how Red Schoendienst bat is a probable world series bat? Also do you know what the letters on the knob mean?

Ordering records. was shipped 4 bats on 9/22/58 for the WS. But because he was sick with what later was diagnosed as tuberculosis he ordered 3 inch shorter bats and was shipped 2 on the day of game 1-the S210 model. this bat is 3 inches shorter. His only other shipment of this model was end of December for 2 more bats. By that time he was in the hospital and would be for months. He didn't play again till late 1959. Red had 6 orders of bats shipped june 1959 till the date of his return which are bats he would have used during rehab. Thses bats would certainly show much more use as batting practice bats. this info is thanks to Jeff Scott of Birdbats

Re: January Pickups

Awesome bat and research, even tracking Red's TB. Just great info. sometimes the stories behind pickups are the best part. Nice Berkman helmet as well.

Re: January Pickups

I saw that Furcal bat at Tom's booth. I told him I thought that was the deal of the weekend as far as that particular dealer area goes. Couldn't believe a Cardinal fan didn't snap that up quick. Great tar and use too.

I was surprised it was there also and very reasonably priced! Glad to have it.

Some 2015 Mets relief pitcher bats: Robles, Verrett, O'Flaherty , Alex Torres, Jerry Blevins, Carlos Torres.

Other 2015 Mets bats: Kevin Plawecki, Travis D'Arnuad, Matt Reynolds, and Daniel Murphy's pink Mother's Day bat.

Love the sticker on the Reynold's knob.

Re: January Pickups

Picked up this Adrian Beltre game worn helmet with the bat. I believe this to be from 1999 or 2000, but I'm not for sure.
