Nice, my elliot Johnson bat arrived.


The Elliot Johnson bat was authenticated to the 2nd inning. He saw 1 pitch and had an RBI Single. The bat had 2 or 3 hit marks on it and I saw it has the MLB hologram on the knob. So I tried to get a to get match....

Look at the video at the 0:36 mark on the video and the knob appears to have the MLB hologram on it, leading me to believe it was the same bat he used to get the RBI single AND the solo humerun in the 8th giving the Rays the 9-8 in Baltimore. At $300 though, the bat was still overpriced.

My Hunter Pence LVS, Matt Wieters Rawlings and Ryan Zimmerman cleats came yesterday. Felt like Christmas.

Hey Tony! Very jealous of the Zimm cleats, I think I was bidding against you lol. I'm a huge Zimm collector, so if you ever want to move them, let me know. Enjoy!!

Has anyone recieved any of the stuff they won from the MD's auction?

Re: 2012 Mother's Day Bats & other gear - Official Thread

I'm just hoping there is even going to be a second round of Mother's Day items. There were some pink bats and cleats I was watching on Mother's Day and was disappointed not to see any of them in the auction. Last year I thought for sure there would be a second auction for the pink items but it never came so I'm not holding my breath.

I'd be curious to see what the Giancarlo Stanton walk off granny pink bat would get at auction. It'd be tough to get to the $3,600 Hamilton or $3,995 Harper territory but maybe...

Just picked up this overpriced 2012 mother's day bat. One and done. Just wanted to get one of these pigs. They look a lot better than those lighter pink bats over the last few years.

Elliot Johnson's. Authenticated to used in the 2nd Inning. He saw 1 pitch and got a seeing-eye single with the bat. It didn't break, so I wonder if he used this same bat in the 8th Inning when he hit a homerun. I am hoping to get it signed in September when the Rays play the white sox in Chicago.

So when does the 2nd wave of pink mother's day items hit auction?

Yeah I should have bid on the 1st Gordon bat that went for $420 but I wanted to wait because I thought all the crazy bidding would go on for bat #1 and maybe I could steal bat #2. Well then the bidding got out of control for his 2nd bat. I just couldn't justify paying close to 1k for another pink Gordon bat since I already have his 2008. Who ended up winning it? A forum member??

I did end up with the Pedro Alvarez MD bat for $285. Not bad. At least I'll have some extra fire power in the bank when the 2nd round of MD auctions start.
