I took photos of my game used bats of these Reds sluggers and superimposed them over the photo which I took at the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum this year. A little more interesting than just photos of the game used bats.
The Frank Robinson bat is from the 1961 to 1963 period. When I purchased the bat it was already signed by Frank. I went to a card show here in Cincinnati a few years later and Frank was a signing guest. I waited until his signing period was done and asked his promoter if I could get a photo of Frank and I holding the bat. His promoter and Frank said no problem. It is a great photo, no charge, and a keepsake treasure as just a year later Frank passed. A great memory and all I had to do was ask. Frank could not have been nicer and really enjoyed seeing one of his gamers.
