Ben, LOVE the Musial. Please email me the specs so I can compare it with my rookie-era bat. I had the chance a few years ago to take mine inside the H&B vault and compare it with Stan's vault bats. Wouldn't it be something if our bats were from the same order? Jeff
Awesome Davis bat! You buy it directly from the Brewers? I'll get my hands on Davis and Gennett bats before the year is out, hopefully.
Waukesha Sports has a few left, and they will come down off the sticker price. Much cheaper than direct from the team store, athough I usually call Dave the game used manager direct. Expect more stuff towards the end of the year from Lucroy, Davis, and Scooter at Wauk. Sports as they're the WI exclusive for them.
Not a huge item, but an interesting Goodwill find, with my wife Shirley getting major credit on this. A couple of days ago she was there, and noticed what looked to be an autographed baseball on a shelf. with a $4.99 price tag. She came home (I was dealing with fatigue that day) and told me about it. She had no idea who the player was, but did know it was an official baseball. At that price, I gave her my debit card and the go-ahead to pursue it.
She returned about 10 minutes later, handed me the baseball, and I was pleasantly surprised, It WAS, indeed, an official MLB ball, game-used, no less, sweet spot signed by former White Sox backup catcher Toby Hall. Definitely a find, albeit a small one, and Shirley gets the credit for spotting it and giving me a clear enough description that led me to take a chance.
