Well done!! That is pretty much the same layout that I am hoping to do.

And if you ever want to sell your McGriffs, you know where to reach me:-) I'd also consider Batman's Cave that I see as well...

David,
Nice collection and nice display.
Glad to see that someone else also has a sports "den" that doubles as a play room for the kids!

Thanks John!
My son Zachary is really good about leaving my bats alone.....Even when he has friends over, they leave them alone as well.

If I ever do sell any McGriff's they are yours.....
I don't think Zach will get rid of his BatCave. He loves it, plus Santa Claus brought him to him that last Christmas.

Thanks,
Are you a local up here?

Looks like I am going to go natural.....

David - Sorry I missed this way back when....I'm not originally from Indy but we've been here almost seven years. Hope you're settled in, it's a good area to raise kids.

Hey Russ,
No problem. I love it up here. Only down fall is there is no MLB team 10 minutes away. Feel free to email if you want.

Love the layout of bats, jerseys and pictures. Any lineup cards or bases to go up in the future.

Thanks rays54,

In case you did not know all the bats are Rays/Devil Rays besides 9 of them. I am up to 269 Devil Rays bats. Nine Fielding Gloves, three g/u hats and one Batting Helmet, all Devil Rays as well.
I have six Devil Rays Line Up cards Framed and Up on the walls, along with a Pirate @ AZ Pink Mothers Day 2005 Line Up card. No bases or cleats yet.

I have thought about the bases. But they are usually expensive and not sure how to display besides on the floor. Also, I would not want a plain one, but maybe one from Opening Day or something like that....

Mods, please move to Game Used Memorabilia. I sent a request to "contact forum moderator" and nothing was done.

Almost three years after moving to Indy, the basement is getting full.... These were taken tonight, but are scaled down to fit. Still a bat & glove guy, but I have even got in to jerseys more. I have 8 jerseys now.....

I need a few more bat racks. My Pirates bats are just standing in a corner....

David... I have just one word... AWESOME!!!

I have been planning to remodel my collection room but been procrastinating for quite some time. Seeing your room & collection is giving me some motivation to get going with my project.

Re: Give me a New Home, where my bats can roam.....

What an awesome collection...of LEGOs you have there (joking)! I have taken my nephews to their store before, man those things are expensive!

On a serious note, love the setup. Question, since you are a Devil Rays fan, do you like the team's stance of disregarding their (brief) history, and moving from the iconic Florida marine life to "Rays of light" as a logo? I think it honestly is lame and weak.

I guess when they dropped the "Devil" from the name, I should have seen it coming. I also wish the team could stick to any color scheme also. I personally loved the forest green unis, but admit the powder and dark blues are not bad.

Would love to know your thoughts on the subject, as a die hard fan of the team.

Nice collection and display David. For the next pics, be sure to stack a few extra weights on the bench...
