Another T206 player game used bat. Clyde Milan.

Clyde Deerfoot Milan!! Is there a good story about where you found it?

Not necessarily haha. Mile High auction. Last month.

It’s a great clean bat.

Great bat Brendan!

Thanks fellas!

Just a reminder....still looking for a Billy Klaus gamer for the family. The family is also on the boards but not sure how often they check this thread. If you have one I will certainly put you in contact with them.

Brendan!!! I wondered who ended up with that Milan bat...glad someone on here was the winner. I was probably the jackwagon inadvertently bidding it up...

I enjoy collecting all things Milan and had never seen a bat before...it was really a great pickup! Congrats.

Very cool Clyde Brendan!

Thanks Yaz and Greg!

I agree - great use on the Herndon. Love the Bergman bat. As a kid he hit me a ball duribg batting practice at Fenway Park in the 80s. (Of course used it during little league game.) So much psychological value to these things!
Not to hijack This Thread - but does anyone have a story of using memorabilia when they were a kid?

Thank you, I don't have a story but interesting question. Hopefully somebody does.

So many awesome bats to look at! I love this thread!

My latest pickup is a nice Bernie Williams circa 2000.

Love it! Talented ball player and a classy fella.

1986-89 P89 Don Reynolds, which was post-career by a large margin. Shows lots of use, so can somebody explain why it exists. Was independent ball around back then? Thanks

new bat
 

Sorry about the low-end photo quality, but I want to show off one of my latest Pirates bat. it's a Smoky Burgess bat dated to the World Champion 1960 season, it came today, and I have wanted one for a long, long time.

Nice bat Mark!

Nice vintage gamer -- great pinch hitter!


Greg

new bat
 

Here is another bat that I picked up last month. To most collectors, he is a famous pinch hitter. To my mind, he is part of the Pirates great outfield of the late 1960's:

And a lifetime average over .300 -- that bat is a beauty Mark!

Just picked this one up an hour ago. Holy grail item for me. 1969-70 G105 Clemente. Now I can finally start the 1971 Pirates bat run. Won’t my wife be thrilled!;)

Clemente
 

Congrats on that Clemente!

Congrats Mike, she's a beauty!

Holy smokes.... Fantastic Clemente Lumber!

Congrats Mike!

Thanks for the kind words SICollector, Scott, and Mark. You have no idea how happy I am to finally land one of these. It fills a huge void in my collection.

That Clemente is AWESOME!
Congrats!

That's Nuts

A few McGwire gamers

Wow!!! :)
Nice collection, Randall

Awesome collection!

Thanks, been at it for many years.
