Here is my Chris Stynes. It's riddled with clete marks and the bat was pounded until the grain separated too much to use anymore.

Josh Arhart bat. He was with the Devil Rays minor league system for the last several years. His dad is a friend of mine.

Re: Would love to see anyone's pounded with game use bat

I would love to see pictures of anyone who has a game used bat (don't care what player) that's pounded with tremendous use. Not bats with just a lot of pine tar, but bats that you can tell a player has used it for a while.

Here is a Mike DiFelice AD bat from his 2002 Cardinal days.

Leslie,

I honestly have no idea. My only theory is that he has become a collector of his own personal items in recent years. I know three other people (that purchased bats from me) that had the same experience when getting their bats signed. He usually gives off a very negative vibe and will often place a very small signature. Puzzles me, but that is how he is!

Thanks,

Is he like that only with game used items, or just in general? I met Bidge once when I was at what is now Chase Field in Arizona. He was nice enough to sign a ball for me, but seemed quite brusque. Is that just the way he is?

Wow!?!? What is the reason for him frowning on game used collectors?
It just seems a bit odd; players should be happy that people admire them enough to collect their g/u items. What happened?

Re: heavily pine tarred bats

Biggio is not the friendliest for game used collectors....He sort-of frowns upon people like me. There are some items, such as my 1990 Biggio Home and 1999 Biggio Home that he really gave me a nasty look at.
