    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.

    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.

    He is saying by generation those may have been the bats that our grandfathers and fathers wanted. For him HIS dream, not yours, was to own a McGwire hr bat. These bats are extremely scarce, appreciate it for what it is....HIS McGwire dream bat. Why try to over analyze something? Its a great bat and great that he shared with us.

    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.

    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....

    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

    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.
