Re: My Akinori Iwamura Collection is Growing!

Here you go.... On the white bat is has TECO on an oval. I assume it is not for Tampa Electric Company....lol....

All has a larger "1" for his uniform number. Maybe the other number is a batch number or serial number??? I don't think it is a date???

They all measure just below 33 1/2" aprox 33 3/8".....

Re: My Akinori Iwamura Collection is Growing!

I was thinking Ichiro after I posted Matsui.

But I watched a program (I can't remember where I saw it) about Matsui and how he has a museum over there that has his stuff from grade school on up. Even report cards from school. I am pretty sure a family member of his owns the museum.

Have you seen it?

no i havent, my guess its prolly near tokyo(i live in the northern part of the country) but i would like to see all of that.
