Picked up my 2nd Cooper bat from Manny's time in Cleveland (bottom bat). One bat is a RD45 model with a pretty pronounced knob and this latest one is a C243 with a knob more like what Manny uses now. Oddly enough, having just moved to Cleveland, I watched an old recording of an Indians game in late 1996 when they clinched the Central and Manny was sure enough using a Cooper!
Thanks to a generous forum member that gave me this bat for a very cheap price.
GU 2009 Lastings Milledge cracked bat used while in Syracuse
Nice bat! I was reading an mlb blog yesterday, and someone had a Milledge home run ball. I cant find the blog, but it was from some ballhawk that goes to Pirates games.
Collecting Cardinals jerseys and bats, with a focus on Yadier Molina, Matt Holliday, and Adam Wainwright.
Yay I can finally post in this thread. I usually just collect autos (MN sports only), but I'm finally dipping my toes into game used stuff. I may be converted.. we'll see. Picked up this GREAT Morneau cap from a member here.
I picked up two things this month the first is a Travis Denker batting helmet from the 2009 Pawtucket Red Sox season that is pounded with use that I have been able to photomatch as well. He is not a star but its a sweet piece that is loaded with use. The second was a Barry Bonds autographed photo I got a show this past weekend and after I bought it I took a closer look and realized its a very early Bonds signature from his rookie season-it has his rookie jersey number.
I had these Johnny Damon game used BWP Red Sox bats in my collection for a few years now and today I got them signed by Damon.
Johnny Damon and some other sports celebrities are here on Kauai participating in a golf tournament for the Children's Miracle network.
Funny story.......When I pulled the bats out of the box, Damon looked at them and asked how I got them. I told him the name of the Red Sox teamate (that I will not mention here on forum) and it was someone I know that is close friends with that teamate, he smiled and said "that's where all my bats were going!"
Damon is a super nice guy and when I asked him to add the "game used" inscription to one of the bats, he asked if I was going to sell the bat, I said "No" I'm going to keep it in my collection with my other Red Sox gamers.
Also, got a signed Stephen Strasburg signed baseball when he was on the island for his honeymoon a few weeks ago.
