Great Aaron bat, Ben.

Thanks, Nate and all you guys

Re: May 2017 Pickups

Would you want to get something this nice signed with Aaron's current signature?

Yes, admit that is my concern too. If it was guaranteed I could get the smooth variety, less shaky, then I would do it. But I wouldn't want that to ruin an item like this...plus, if I have to navigate the whole send-in process with Steiner just to get it done, I would probably be completely anxiety ridden too.

Thanks! the pine tar and tape are a nice combo, just as long as you can move past the peeing on the hands thing.

I recall the shudders from Cubs fans back in 2003 when it was reported that Moises Alou peed on his hands. I thought it was LOL funny!

If it was my bat, there's no way that I would have Aaron sign it now. I would however get a photo of him holding it and have him sign that photo.....just my .02

Ben,

Beautiful Aaron! Is it still possible to get it signed?

Hey it's cool. You now possess actual player DNA! Talk about photomatching at the highest level of evidence. So the pee doesn't phase me; I just hope that's pine tar we're dealing with.

The pee doesn't bother me. It adds character! Wouldn't it be funny to have DNA matches as the next level of proof?

'57-'58 Hank Aaron bat - MVP and WS Champs era

An early Milwaukee Braves bat, and it is proving tough to find any of Hank's bats from the 1950s era, especially in higher quality. This is the third of the big three I got here lately, a fresh to the hobby bat. It has terrific barrel use, great patina, cleat marks and a nice, faded 44 on the knob as well. I appreciate JD giving me a shot at acquiring this one for my collection.
Henry won the MVP in '57, hitting .322 and clubbing 44 home runs and knocking in 132 RBIs, while also leading Milwaukee to the World Series Title in 7 games over the Yankees. In '58, he put up a .326, 30 home run and 95 RBI line in leading the Braves back to the WS, where they lost this time in 7 to NY.

Love the Posada! I have 2 Posada bats and they are some of my favorites in my collection.

Re: May 2017 Pickups

Does the one flannel jersey from each team have its own thread?? It would be cool to see them all together and have a list of the ones needed so we can keep track of the progress. Love the idea.

Hah! That is an interesting idea.
