Currently have 22 Mauer bats, beginning in his minor league days up through 2012. Have two from each of his batting title years as well as a unique Marucci bat from 2010 that he only used for a couple of weeks. Always looking to add bats he used early in his career before switching to Rawlings.

Honestly very happy for him. Hope to watch him do well even outside of Houston.

Thats good to hear. Most people fall apart if their favorite player gets traded or something.

Ben,

Hah, some may think that. I bought my first Biggio bat from the Astros in 1991 when they used to have a bat waiting list program. I remember when my mom took me to the Astrodome that summer day. I was so happy to have saved my $75 for the bat. The lady called and said they had a Biggio and Luis Gonzlez bat for me. I stil have that bat and it is one of my favorites to this day. Since then, I have handled or reviewed over 100 of his bats.

The odd thing is that Biggio early (pre-1994/95) and late (2004-07) bats are the toughest to find. The story is that Craig started keeping much of his items in the 2002-2003 era for his family, with the game use ditems being shipped off to New Jersey routinely through the season.

It has been fun collecting his stuff. I believe Craig is one of the last players to be passionate about the game. I remember a game in 2003 or 2004 when the Astros were down 9-2 or so in the 7th inning. I recall him taking a HBP with 2 outs and running out a infield dribbler. Wish there were more like him.

Thanks,

Any updates on this list?

I'm up to 26 Brandon Allen bats, which I think is amazing considering most of them have been minor lg bats (only one of which did I get in-person).
