The bat was acquired twenty years ago right out of the dugout at Anaheim Stadium, directly from Brett by forum member Jerry Sage, a local here and a really good guy. I was lucky enough to have Jerry contact me to work out a deal to add this phenomenal bat to my Brett collection. It is definitely one of the most extreme bats I have ever seen, the pictures speak for themselves...
Thank you again, Jerry!

Re: September Pick Ups

Acquired this 1965-72 Billy Williams bat this week. It was really rough, but after some repair and serious cleaning, it looks decent. You can see Billy's #26 on the knob (along with 32 in pencil, the bat's weight) and, though it's faint, you can still make out the Yosh mark. I'm not a Cubs fan, but I always liked Williams, Santo, Banks and Jenkins.

Re: September Pick Ups

I also got a set of Kurt Suzuki’s game issued, shin guard & chest protector. This was issued for the 2012 season with Oakland. I got this last month but just got around to photographing it.

Re: September Pick Ups

Got a bunch of items from an Independent League team (Hawaii Stars) from here in Hawaii. I was lucky enough to be asked to be the official team photographer. It was great for photo matching a bunch of bats. While the majority of the players were using just the generic team issued bats, a few of them had their own personal models. Those were the bats that I asked for from the player. One of the local player on the team is a good friend of Kolten Wong so I asked him if he can talk to Kolten about buying a bat for my collection.

Dustin Smith bat, photo-matched. He’s the son of HOF Ozzie Smith.

Re: September Pick Ups

Been awhile since I have picked up anything, but with the "fast" start by Billy Hamilton on the bases I jumped at this gamer. Here is Billy's 2010 game used Billings Mustangs road jersey complete with LOA from the team.
