Re: Name your 3 favorite bats in your collection and why?
This will be the first time I've attempted to post photos to this board, so we'll see how it goes.
harpt asked to see the Yount bat, and astrosfan wanted to see pics of the RJ bat, so here (hopefully) are photos of all three of the bats that I wrote about.
Yeah, as long as the Yount bat is, I guess you'd have to call it a fungo!
There are only a couple of minor ball marks on the reverse of the barrel...about what you'd expect from one of Randy's bats.

Re: Name your 3 favorite bats in your collection and why?
Have alot of bats I love, but will try an narrow to three:
1) Dave Kingman rookie era W215. His name is full in the facsimilie script. Only time you'd see it...
2) Dave Kingman pre-rookie Adirondack tee-pee label. Got it from Jim on the forum. Not replaceable...
3) Dave Kingman C235 84/85 label. Unfinished. Love unfinished bats, shows massive use. Bats are tools, not diamonds - don't care about beauty so much...
Honorable mention: McGwire WS bats, Thome Indians and White Sox bats hammered, Adam Dunn maple bat (unfinished) and hammered...Leave a comment:

Re: Name your 3 favorite bats in your collection and why?
Jim,
yup, he is correct. i got it by taking part in there $100 bat lotto.
75% of the bats were either posada or giambi i believe.
so for $400 i got:
a posada bat
a giambi bat
a miguel cairo bat
a johnny damon used jason giambi model bat
the most bang for my buck i ever got from steiner
this lotto made up for the $200 one where i got a mark whiten bat

Re: Name your 3 favorite bats in your collection and why?
Here are my three:
1990 George Brett C271. Beautiful use, tar and auto. Totally legit gamer of one of my favorites growing up.
1986-89 Robin Yount P72. Totally unimprovable. Nice tar, ball marks, autographed. The absolute nicest Yount I have ever seen! Another one of my favorites growing up.
2004 Vladimir Guerrero Xbat. Pounded with ball marks. Tons of pine tar. Nice autograph. PSA authenticated. One of my current favorites. Love no batting gloves. Tough player.

I'm thinking he got it in that Steiner $100 take a chance drawing they had a couple months ago. Quite a few Posada and Brosius abd Giambi bats came out of that.Leave a comment:

Tino Martinez Game Used Bat - If I can't have a Mattingly, Tino will be my next pick for Yankees first basemen. He was there during the World Series Years.
Jorge Posada 2007 Game Used Bat from Clemens 350th Win - Posada is having an amazing year and his bats always have great characterisitics. This is Steiner/MLB authenticated and the best thing is, it only cost me $100!!
Johnny Damon 2006 Game Used Bat - Most recent bat pickup, and it's one of my favorites. Damon is a great guy.

That Yount bat isn't a fungo is it? I know, I know...why would Tony Womak be borrowing a fungo? I'm just asking in case it is...I'd love to see it.Leave a comment:

2000mvpfan - Absolutely correct! I was 14 years old and living in Northern NJ when Donnie Baseball made a splash in 1984 and I loved him ever since. He was the greatest hitter I ever saw. Outstanding fielder too but man what a bat! He would inside out pitches and go the other way like he was putting on a clinic.
Donnie is the man!

A Luis Gonzalez Rawlings bat used in the 2001 post-season. Tons of use and filthy with pine tar, but uncracked.
A Louisville Slugger that Randy Johnson brought with him from Houston to ST in Tucson for the DBacks in '99. I've never seen another one of his Astros bats, and he put a really nice signature on this one.
A Louisville Slugger made for (then DBacks coach) Robin Yount in '03; borrowed and cracked by infielder Tony Womack, Yount inscribed it in black sharpie, "To Tony Dickhead, Happy Fungo Hitting" and put a nice signature on it.Leave a comment:
