Default BAT COLLECTORS COLLECT BATS BECAUSE......

Posted By: CarltonHendricks

Dave from Somewhereville emailed me to show me this exceptionaly clean ring bat. Sounds like he got my email address from this thread..didn't relate his bat collecting criteria, but obviously if this is one of his pride and joys, he's an experienced collector with a story to tell....Dave should join up and quit being a draft dodger happy.gif

Carlton--Just ran across this site and may join sometime. In the meantime, here is one of my pride and joys. The bat weighs only 25 oz. as it is made of willow and has aged over the years. Thought you would like to see a couple of photos. You can post them if you need to. I'm sure their are other bats however like this one. It is just my oldest and one of my favorites.
