Re: After 20 years, i finally landed my Dream Bat - MCGWIRE HR BAT !!!!!
Lol I didn't mean it that way it just drives me crazy when people overexagerate a player's historical importance. Don't get me wrong it is an awesome bat.

Re: After 20 years, i finally landed my Dream Bat - MCGWIRE HR BAT !!!!!
I admit I was harsh I just cannot stand when anything is compared to a Ruth or Mantle. Or for that matter Mays, Aaron, Montana, Jordan, Gretzky or Ali. IMO those guys are just on another level above even 99.999% of HOFers out there and anything they used just has a different historical signifcance then stuff used by others. It is an amazing bat though and I am very happy for the guy that he got his dream item.Leave a comment:

It is a very nice bat but to compare it to a Mantle or a Ruth is just absurd. Mac is an admitted cheater who even with the Roids was not near the league of a Mantle or a Ruth, two of the greatest players ever and all he did was hit home runs. He was a lesser version of Harmon Killebrew.

You might try submitting a photo request to Pictopia, who manages the photo archives for the Associated Press:
McGwire was well-covered by photographers in those last few years, so you might have a shot at turning something up. Best of luck.

Re: After 20 years, i finally landed my Dream Bat - MCGWIRE HR BAT !!!!!
I ll give the posting a try......I remember this particular homerun because I was eating at Damons and stayed to watch Macs at bat. I remember him hitting it where there was no stands anymore. He wasn't always in the lineup due to an injury plagued year but I remember watching every at bat that I could. I have several games from 2001 on tape and saved most of the mac HR's. I dont think I recorded this partucular game but I will check the archives lol.
The photo is from 2001 and looks to be cinicinnati's dugout in my opinion....Leave a comment:

i don't have any pictures of him hitting the HR. i can't find one on getty. The seller has MLB player connect. The player is still in the pros and was a teammate of Mac's in 01. he got the bat direct from him.
If anyone knows any other picture archive site PLEASE LET ME KNOW
I found a photo of him batting in 2001 and I think it is at cincinnati. It may be the hr swing but not positive. Could someone give me some advice on posting photos on here?!Leave a comment:

This is probably the nicest Mac bat I have seen in an auction. Congrats! I saw this come up for sale and was very curious as to what it would sell for. I hope you can find a photo of that HR, I actually remember seeing that game I believe. It was hit by a construction area in left center if my memory is correct.Leave a comment:
