Let's see some heavily used / pine tarred bats

Re: heavily pine tarred bats

I think it was just for Biggio bats. I heard it from Astros team personnel. He might have even done it himself. Biggio is not the friendliest for game used collectors. I think he started collecting items from his career for his family maybe 5 to 7 years ago. 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.

Re: heavily pine tarred bats

great bats guys!
the astros clubhouse attendants use to wipe off the pine tar
before the bats got out! what the heck is the reason for that?
I wonder if any other clubhouse attendants do that? yankees?
likely not seeing the posada bats.... joe

Not a lot of tar by modern day standards but old Keith could always give George Brett a run for his money in the 80's when it came to using pine tar.

Re: heavily pine tarred bats

Here are a few from my collection:

2002-03 Craig Biggio Astros Bat
Astros clubhouse people are known for wipping off a lot of Biggio's tar when the bat get out. This one made it uncracked and unwiped.

1995 Jerry Goff Astros Bat
One of my favorite Astros bats because it has great eye appeal.

[ATTACH]9921[/ATTACH]

1992 Juan Guerrero Astros Bat
Not the biggest star, but he sure knew how to add the tar and tape.

[ATTACH]9922[/ATTACH]

1992 Pete Incaviglia Astros Bat
Someone asked for it, and here it is. He did pur tar on everything he used, and especially this bat. I have never seen another one like this.

[ATTACH]9923[/ATTACH]

And last but not least (but not from my Astros Collection),

2006 Alfonso Soriano Nationals Bat
From his 40/40/40 season, photomatched, and one of the best Soriano bats around, plus PSA/DNA 9.5. Thanks Andrew!

Re: heavily pine tarred bats

I remember seeing Jeff's Grace bat a few years ago at a show. That thing had twigs and rocks all over it. Funny thing about Grace is I don't remember him wearing batting gloves...his uniforms must have been disgusting.

Anyone have something of Pete Incavilia? I saw him literally dunk his handle into a bucket one time.
