Any Fungo Bat Collectors Out There?
 

Just a thought.

If so, hit me an easy fly ball.

I just picked up a fungo lathe bat of Bucky Harris from the 1930s. I also have a Red Schoendienst fungo bat from the 70s.

Jimmie Reese fungo bat
 

How about a fungo bat from 90-year-old fungo hitting wizard Jimmie Reese from his days with the California Angels?

Jimmie was Babe Ruth's roommate on the Yankees.
He was beloved by all, but especially close to Nolan Ryan and Jim Abbott.
If you never had the pleasure of watching Reese in action, he was AMAZING!

Finally a fungible thread on the forum, and we are only 1 million+ views behind the pennant guys.

I have a seventies Yankee fungo that came with a Mickey river's gamer The Mickey rivers bat I tried to match to any pictures I've had no success

The only fungo bats I have in my collection are from two of the best when it came to knowing how to handle these things:

One of my favorite photos of Sr. I own is this one of him hitting fungos to his son prior to the 1989 season:

Both the Cal Ripken fungo and the fungo photo are terrific --- what a great combo!
