Re: May 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

Not really game used but an Astros 1st year in the AL ball that the bullpen catcher threw into the stands(the whole bullpen ball bag was full of them and they also were using them for batting practice)

FWIW, I got one of the 'Stros AL balls, too, during BP in Seattle about a month ago.

One more item I picked up

GU broken bat of Josh Donaldson, I style matched it to games played on May 7-9. The pine tar on the lable is still very sticky.

Here are a couple of items I picked this month;

1. GU MLB Auth baseball Brandon Moss 2 RBI Double vs Texas on Aug 2 2013
2. Line Up card from a Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland A's game played on July 15 2011. I noticed who was batting 9th for the Angels. looked it up on my phone and it is the game that Trout drove in his first run
3. Not really game used but an Astros 1st year in the AL ball that the bullpen catcher threw into the stands(the whole bullpen ball bag was full of them and they also were using them for batting practice)

I thought the same thing, but Taube authenticated the bat. Interesting to see what happened with this one. It does show a ton of Bench characteristics.

Yeah... perhaps the Reds had bought some, and he ended up using it. Who knows. It does look a lot better than the Stepback Antique's bat that was bought at a thrift shop for $10: Right labeling, completely wrong characteristics.

Re: May 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

gorilla, did Bench ever use the R104? I'm just asking because Tim's Bench bat page doesn't list the R104 as a model used by Bench, nor is that particular model listed on the order records in the Malta book.

1976 shows: A99C, B278, B278C, B316, Mc44, and R43 as models in the book.
