That's a really nice hammered bat. What does the "1.." stand for?

It's how the Tigers mark weight of the bat, that's 31.2 ounces.

So, each dot represents 1/10 ounce?

Hank Aaron 714th HR game used baseball -

Used on Opening Day in Riverfront Stadium - Cincinnati (April 4th, 1974), so sort of a Big Red Machine collection item, but more importantly the game when Hank Aaron hit his record tying 714th home run in his first at-bat of the season.
Hank Aaron, to me, is the true Home Run King.

The true KING to me as well. My dad came home from work to watch the game on tv that day. Hank waited for me to get home from school to hit HR714. It was awesome to be able to watch the home run.

My favorite player as a kid. Someday I will buy a bat of his......

'65-'68 Roberto Clemente bat:

I was able to check this bat out in person and was really impressed with the amount of use that it showed. And I've been wanting to reacquire a bat of this Pittsburgh legend, both because of the type of on-field player he was and also his humanitarian efforts off the field. He may be the most influential hispanic player from that time period in overall impact.

Career baseball #1798, Thursday evening, a Derek Jeter BP foul ball that hit the security guard's toll and came to rest a few feet away from the wall, far enough out of reach so that I was the only fan who could reach it while remaining in the stands

Congrats Dave. Do you plan to stop counting when you hit 2000?

Looks good man! Where did you pick that one up? Auction or personal contact?

Re: May 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

Thanks! I contacted the Brewers "Authentics" and they were able to obtain it for me.
