World's Largest to Scale bat
 
Posted By: <b>Matt Hart</b><p>I bought this one a few months back, but it got lost in transit. Bat is about 10 foot tall and is probably from the 30's. Lelands auctioned it in the early 90's. It's next to a 36 inch bat.<br>Matt<br><img src="http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r193/mghproductions/IMG_1217.jpg" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r193/mghproductions/IMG_1218.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><img src="http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r193/mghproductions/IMG_1219.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><img src="http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r193/mghproductions/IMG_1221.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Brock G.</b><p>Very cool piece. But I have to ask, how does a 10 foot tall bat get lost in transit? I'm guessing it didn't fall between the seats of the truck.

Posted By: <b>Chris</b><p>First- this is not me. Its my semi-drunk buddy after a Jays home game last year. This bat is just down the stairs from the Hard Rock Cafe. Has the 1992 team names carved into it. <br><br><br>[IMG]<img src="http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u349/stealhome/matt.jpg" alt="[linked image]">[/IMG]
