Didn't the Wright bat just end. I doubt seller has it in hand yet, or maybe he got it express mailed....the pictures are from the mlb auction.......Seems there is a bunch of bats that haven't been put up yet..anybody grab one yet.....I'll have to check and see what the lowest price one has been.....seems they have gone for good prices all around so far........

Have you seen the ad on TV where the guy at the art auction wins a painting and then immediately says: "Okay, I'd like to sell it now."? Life imitating art (or at least advertising).

Could be....or he won the auction not thinking he would.....he does state in the auction he won another pink bat from mlb auctions.....looks like he bought it for over 4k.....will be interesting to see if he recoups his $.....he says anything extra he will donate to the charity.

I hope it's legit. 2 years ago I got burned on an auction on a Barry Bonds game used bat. The photo was from another auction site (ASI auctions) and the seller never had the bat and was scaming folks.

Just wanted to throw that out there and not accusing anyone.

Sure enough (and even if he fully intended to immediately reauction it from the beginning, that is entirely his choice and I hope he gets a great price for it).

I was really impressed by some of the prices that the pink bats brought - especially the ones that clearly were not used. Some amazing numbers.

Maybe Bill Hall bought it himself, it is a tax write off.

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up

Is there any confirmed # each player got made for themselves.....On a side note on them....I did visit Louisville Slugger factory today and seen a few pink bats on the factory floor......I guess I'll have to be happy with the retail model I got inscribed Mother's Day 2006....There is 3-4 week wait on the pink retail orders, and when mine showed up at my house it was from there NY address, so they must be doing them up there for the general public.....I go by factory/museum quite a bit and keep hoping they would be smart enough to put a few retail pink one's in the gift shop, but they haven't......I'm hoping a bunch of game issued one's surface at some point....With how popular this has become, I hope they do this every mother's day....
