Re: Team Set Thread

So you did finally snare a Geoff Blum, I take it?

Dave Miedema

I did Dave. Hardest White Sox bat in the 21 player set. I believe he ordered 12 or 21 LS White Sox bats.

Re: Team Set Thread

Very nice. Interesting how all the big names used Worth bats as well.

Yes, interesting story about that. I was at an Evans signing last weekend and he was telling me about how the Louisville quality was horrible--inconsistent weights, handle diameters, breakage--which is why he switched to Worth. There weren't many options back then (LS and ADR, and then Worth) so they were trying anything.

Lou Whitaker made a comment at a signing a few months ago when someone said they didn't know he used Worth--"I used everything especially when it was free!"

Re: Team Set Thread

Thanks for the kind words on the case. I did make it myself, plywood and quarter sawn oak.

What are the dimensions?

Nice display case! Did you make that yourself? I'm kind of looking for something similar for my 1984 Tigers set.

Re: Team Set Thread

Now up to 15 2009 125th Anniversary Rays Louisville Sluggers!

[Birdbats]

1926 Cardinals

I have a few team sets, but it'll take me a while to get decent photos posted. So, I'll start with this one: the 1926 Cardinals, winners of the franchise's first World Series.

The Hornsby is a retail 125, a placeholder for now. He's followed by outfielder (and future HOF manager) Billy Southworth, third baseman Les Bell, and outfielder Taylor Douthit. The non-contract BELL could be an early Les Bell bat, but I'm attributing it to pitcher Hi Bell (it also could be a Cool Papa Bell, but we'll never know). Below it is another retail placeholder, a Bottomley. Based on my extensive research, the FR bat is likely Flint Rhem, the team's only 20-game winner. It's followed by outfielder Heinie Mueller and a hand-turned blank bat, attributed to outfielder Ray Blades. I bought the Blades bat from his family, along with his 1926 home jersey.

In addition to needing Hornsby and Bottomley gamers, I'm looking for a Tommy Thevenow and a Bob O'Farrell. Also interested in pitchers' bats. Please let me know if you have any leads.
