    Cards get a few of Yadi's stuff but he takes a lot of his things home with him and stores them away. He has a signing contract with a company named Atomic Sports and has gave em, catchers mitts, jerseys, bats, batting gloves, and cleats here over the past calender year.

    Wonderful thread of Yadi stuff. Does the Carddinals pump out alot of Yadi jerseys the way alot of teams do with tbeir star players? There is a jersey from Yadi's 1500th career hit on ebay for 4500.

    My MA32 Moline bat from 2015. Got both the World Series balls signed. The game used ball was Yadi's 1,189th hit. It was a double on Opening Day in 2014 and was career RBIs 550, 551, and 552. Not bad for just starting to collect him a little under a year ago.

    Thanks for the repair details. Kit looks similar to mine. I didn't know the wood filler came in different colors.

    Here is your complete repair kit for do it yourselfers. Elmers Wood Glue, Elmers Wood Filler...comes in various colors. I got lucky as this one was a very close match. It's almost like drywall mud so you can work it with a wet finger. 150 grit sandpaper for the heavy work then work down to a 220. I found this little 220 sponge tool. Then 0000 steel wool for the fine work. Rawlings pine tar is a common one used and matched mine well. There is also the very red colored stuff called Tiger Stick. I use the 20 gauge needle to get the wood in the tiny cracks. You can put some in the needle or just dip it in the wood glue and insert the tip. Some various C-clamps 2 inch and 2.5 inch and a cheapo dremmel set. Also a wet rag to wipe off the excess when you clamp it down tight. The Molina repair was less than 2 hours work spread over 3 days. Not bad for a rookie and I know one pro repair guy would charge at least $200 for this bat. His work is flawless but I have about $20 in supplies here and can do dozens of bats with nothing else to buy.

    Re: Show us your Yadi!

    So I tried my first major bat repair. Bat was shattered pretty good, and then he broke the handle off completely in frustration heading back to the dugout. Thanks to Jeff Scott of Birdbats for the help and supplies list. I'm no pro but pretty happy with the result. Thoughts?

    On another interesting note, the jersey I posted below is also matched to this pic as well based on the loose threads. Bonus.

    Did a little photomatch work today. Picked this up at the WWU couple weeks ago. Has some good use as you can see the wear on the back. Lots of loose threads made it easy to match. Haven't checked the other playoff games yet.
