Not many people would be all that excited about getting a George Grantham bat, but I am. I collect bats from the Pirates teams of the 1920's, and "Boots" Grantham was key to those teams. 26 years ago, when I was just starting out, I had the chance to buy a pro-model Grantham bat. But the dealer wanted $75 more than usual for it, so I didn't pull the trigger right away. He sold it quickly, and I promised myself I'd get the next one that I could. So, I kept my promise and got one ---26 years down the road!
