Joel, we did several toy drives here in Miami and used the Marlins airplane to ship everything to guantanamo bay cuba. There were 1000's of kids without any distractions at all. They lived in tents and really had nothing to do. Alex and Jose had a hitting display in a makeshift field and we visited every single camp. The govt did not allow us to take food or water because all of that was under control. But, look at one of the photos were Arod is giving out toys to a large group of kids. Alll those kids were fighting and scratching to get the toys. Unbelievable !!!

Juan,

Thanks for the reply. I love historical stuff.

So what month were you in Guantanamo? Were these kids that were detained from leaving Cuba? I just read online that around September 1994 is when many Cubans made make shift vessels to travel to Miami, due to the economic crisis in Cuba.

My Alex Rodriguez 1st Career GrandSlam Bat Fully Documented - Thanks Andrew Lang

My 1996 Alex Rodriguez 1st Career GrandSlam Bat has been fully documented from Arod to Juan to myself. Thanks to Andrew Lang, it all came together. Andrew is awesome to deal with. I hounded with him email after email, and he answered every one, showing nothing but professionalism. To be honest, if it were me, I would have gotten on my own nerves

Here the awesome part about this bat. Arod will soon break the all time GrandSlam record:

LOU GEHRIG 23
ALEX RODRIGUEZ 21
MANNY RAMIREZ 21
EDDIE MURRAY 19
WILLEY MCCOVEY 18
ROBIN VENTURA 18

That's really cool and Andrew is great as many of us know....

Only problem with your post is MANNY RAMIREZ will soon be the all-time grand slam leader (but A-Rod may pass him one day)

Arod has 3 grandslams this year. How many does Manny have this year?

Thanks Tony, for the kind words. It is pretty awsome! Nice to have a bat like this, with documentation and a picture of the player signing it. This is how it should be done!

Again, thanks for the kind words!

Posting ID mishap?

Multiple personalities?

What are the chances he tries to sell the bat to himself?

I thought it was funny. I was surprised this didn't get a few more comments. But then again, it is Arod

I think it's pretty cool to have a pic of Arod signing the actual letter.

When I left for the All Star game in Anaheim a week and 1/2 ago, I missed this thread.

Thanks for your kind words. You are very welcome. It took a while but in the end it got done!

It was also cool that ARod gave a real nice full sig.

So I also see he hit #599 today and will be great watching #600 fly out!

Again congrats and thanks again for your kind words!
