Re: Players and staff with STICKY FINGERS?!?

Yes it is, got my first in 96. It was a 95 A's bat that I got from Ball Park Heroes. Wish I still had it!

That is a very nice collection. Do you remember what price you paid for your first bat..did you sell it after the 98 explosion? I am collecting Mac right now and its much cheaper than it was before the steroid controversy took over. I have a couple mac gamers from oakland signed one vintage and one from early 90's..looking to add cardinal bats now...congrats on the collection...was the hunt fun? I am enjoying mine

I think it was around $300 back then, I traded it and cash for a 99 Mac bat. I enjoy collecting Mac bats because he is my favorite player, and authentic bats from him are rare. What years A's bats do you have? Im looking to get a bat from every year 87-01.

close up

Sig looks ok, seen alot of them...it's tight, but consistant I believe.

Any other Mac guys wanna chime in on the sig??

It looks sloppy, dont like the a and the k or the second m or the e and g. I have seen a lot too and I wouldnt put that in my collection.

At the height of his career, Don Mattingly was having bats disappear at a quick rate. His solution? He began marking the knobs with numbers like 3, 4, 15, 37...all retired Yankee uniform numbers.

Great Story...I am hearing more and more like this...There might be some confusion with collecters on some of these bats with different numbers that dont match up right

I still have a 1991 Yankees yearbook and on page 24, there is a great shot of Mattingly with a #7 on the knob of his bat.
