Default Old School Bat Trade

Last night I went to the Brewers VS. Indians game and decided to take a shot at a baseball bat swap. I had a 1986-89 Mickey Brantley LVS game bat that really didn't fit in my collection, so I took it with me in hopes that I could trade it to Michael Brantley(Mickey's son) for a bat or whatever. Getting there early, dealing with Security that was unaware of its bat policy, and then rushing down to the field just as the Indians finished BP, my girlfriend yelled "Michael" and pointed at me, just as he was about to vanish into the dugout. I explained that I had one of his dad's bats, let him handle it, and asked him if he would trade for a one of his. He said he didn't have one available, so I gave him the bat and my card and said," how about next time you break one, have your game used guy send it to me." He looked at me and said "Deal". We shook hands and posed for a pic. 30 seconds later as I was floating up the aisle, a nice usher(thanks Glenn) tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the dugout. There was Michael Brantley motioning for me and holding one of his gamers. He pulled one from the bat rack and gave it to me and said " I'm a man of my word". WOW. I had him sign it and said thanks and say hi to your Dad. As a 30+ year collector of bats, obtaining one from the bat rack by the player is about as good as it gets. Total class from a real nice guy! Man I love it when a plan comes together. Except uploading photos
