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

Chuck, thank you very much for looking into that and posting pictures! The the time, effort and help is greatly appreciated.

I guess this is another situation of bidder beware...or at least aware.

I sent an email the other day to MLB regarding the listing being pictured with the Casey McGehee bat. I don't expect a reply but if I do get one I'll be sure to update everyone. I suppose it could just be an error with the wrong picture being listed but it makes me leary since the hologram also references a LVS R221. After all the 2011 Mark Teahan, while it does show a Teahan bat, also has a pic of Asdrubal Cabrera's 2011 pink gamer.

Here are pictures of McCutchen's at bats,no pine tar or Casey McGehee tape job so it doesn't appear he used Casey McGehee's bat during the game!

Anyone want to let the cat out of the bag and say what they'll be bidding on or hoping to win in the Mother's Day auction?

Also the bat in the in listing for Andrew McCutchen is Casey McGehee's, with all of McGehee's characteristics. Did anyone see the Pirates Mother's Day game and can say if Cutch grabbed McGehee's gamer and used it for an at bat? The MLB hologram description does just say it's a LVS R221 used by McCutchen.

Man too bad the money raised is going to such a horrible "charity". Every time I go to bid on an item and I see where the money is going I cancel my bid. When are these leagues going to do their due diligence on these "charities" they donate to?

Even though none of the equipment is from players or teams that I collect, would it be worth to pick up any of the bats or cleats? I'm interested in any and all opinions. My mom is a 30 year breast cancer survivor and I think anything would be a great reminder of how lucky I am.

Thanks

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

Well, this has me confused... I watched this game very closely. As I recall, Hosmer used one pink bat in the first at bat. Hosmer broke the bat on the first contact made. This Maier bat appears to be uncracked. And there is another Hosmer bat listed that is broken and better matches what I recall Hosmer using. I do not recall him using another pink bat in that game. I think I still have the game on my DVR, so I'll have to rewatch it... Bidder beware...

What would be a fair price for the majority of the pink bats & cleats on MLB? It would be nice to get something, anything. I'm not gonna be too picky because I don't see any Tigers stuff at this point.

$200.00

How come nothing is signed? Do they usually not have signed pink items??

I can only imagine what the Bryce Harper bat and cleats will go for

Quite a lot of it is signed just not the big names, guess they said if ur takin it I'm not signin it!

I'm pretty surprised some items haven't hit the auction block yet. I'm ready to place some bids

Nice pair of Montero pink cleats up for auction, goodluck.
