Pink Bats

Does Anyone Know If The Pirates Or Mlb Are Selling Off Their Pink Bats From This Season? I Think The Game Was Rained Out So The Bats Would Just Be Game Issued. Any Information Would Help. Also Does Anyone Know If John Flaherty Ever Used A Pink Bat For The Mothers Day Games? Thanks All. henmick44@optonline.net

Re: Pink Bats

The Pirates have sold a few off from this season. I recall seeing a Sanchez and LaRoche. MLB allowed teams that were rained out to use them in the next game this year. You could go watch Pirates game on MLB.com and see who used them and even check completed auctions and see what they have sold for.

Re: Pink Bats Return

For anyone looking to buy jeter's bat, he used it ONLY in the 1st inning. After that, he used his standard LS bat.

MLB Pink Bats

Been following the pink Mother's Day Bats on MLB. He, I've followed Dunn for years. Love collecting the guy. Yep, he hit 2 homers with that bat that is in auction. Uncracked and signed, just like Bob likes 'em. MLB authenticated. I get it.

However........as in anything I collect, I have to be real with it. Somebody is about to pay over $600 for that bat, and it won't be me. That's alot of dough. A good cause, but I have kids to feed. I also have to be real about the fact Dunn played 1st last night and committed 2 errors. Real about him hitting .260. These factors do not make a $600+ bat.

I'll catch some flack on this I'm sure... but I can live without a pink bat.

I have to agree. While I'd like to add one to my collection one of these days I'm not really willing to pay the prices that a lot of these pink bats go for. I collect Jimmy Rollins and I know his pink bat would go for way more then $600. To much for me even though the money is going to a worthy cause. To be honest I didn't even see any players bats being auctioned this year that I'm interested in.

Re: MLB Pink Bats

And me.I think $500 a piece for either of the 2 Giambi bats available is a bit much for someone who's hitting .195.

Re: MLB Pink Bats

Bob,

Do you believe 100% that that is the bat Dunn used to hit the 2 HR's with? A few years ago I was at the game when Bobby Crosby hit a HR using a pink bat and they auctioned off a game issued one becasue it had no use on it. Last year Daric Barton hit a HR with one but the issued one again got auctioned off. I know the Dunn bat has marks on it, but it could have been from his other AB's.
