Yaz bat is amazing!

Re: May 2017 Pickups

'65-'68 Carl Yastrzemski bat - Triple Crown and MVP era

I picked up this great Yaz, along with a really nice Rico Petrocelli, that both originated directly from the family of a 30-year Red Sox central front-office person. She worked there from around '46-'77, alongside both Tom Yawkey and the GM, receiving bats as gifts directly from the likes of Yaz, Ted, etc. over the years.
This Yastrzemski is one of the nicest I have seen, absolutely crushed with use, with the faded snow man 8 on the knob. There is also extremely deep right barrel scoring as well, with seam marks over all sides of the bat.
The mid-60s period was a big one for Yaz as he captured the Triple Crown and MVP in 1967 hitting .326 with 44 home runs and 121 RBIs while leading the Red Sox in their Impossible Dream season and carrying them on his back all the way to Game 7 of the Series, falling to the Cards. There don't seem to be many 60s bats of Yaz, especially with heavier use.

Superb bat, Ben. Also, in 1968 (The Year of The Pitcher), Yaz was the only batting title qualifier to hit over .300, winning the crown with .301. The runner-up (Danny Cater) hit just .295.

Re: May 2017 Pickups

Just got in a Geovanni Soto White Sox BP jersey from his first go-round with the Pale Hose. Soto was NL ROY when he finally stayed up with the Cubs, and was always nice to me then and in both his stints with the Chisox (currently back, but on the DL).

It's been a while since I've contributed. I picked up this Carlos Carrasco strikeout ball today. He struck out Robinson Cano swinging on April 28, 2017.

Re: May 2017 Pickups

Took a chance on a Lonnie Chisenhall game used axe handle bat earlier this afternoon. I still need to put a lot more time into it, but it looks like it could be the bat he was using for his pinch hit grand slam back on April 14th of this year. It would definitely make sense, as the bat was cracked and authenticated in the bottom of the 1st inning the very next day. The barrel is in motion in the photo, so the two spots I magnified seem to be blurred. The placement is definitely correct. The knob has a couple factory drill spots, and some paint wear that seem to match quite well, too.

Dizzy Dean Replica-only 200 made-only way to get a Dean

Actually, I think only 25 were made... maybe 1993? Can anyone with his PBOR confirm?
