The 1924 St. Paul Saints.
I have been working on a Saints collection for a long time now. My initial interest began almost 25 years ago when my father and I found some old ticket stubs of games my grandfather went to in the early 20s. 1924 was particularly interesting because the Saints won the Junior World Series that year. They are extremely obscure. I have 8 or 9 from the players from the team so far. First of all, it wouldn't surprise me if most of the players on the team didn't even have their own model bats. Secondly, who back in 1920s would have saved broken bats of no-name players? Superstars will always command top dollar, but their must be dozens of Babe Ruth used bats out there for every Bruno Haas bat. Most of my bats survived because they are Hillerich vault bats. I missed out on two bats so far. Nick Allen and Oscar Roettger. Making it more difficult, many of the Saints played for the 1920s Yankees teams. 12 of the 1927 Yankees played for the Saints. That might sound like a cool historical footnote, but it is a massive pain in the ass when you're a collector. It is a set that is impossible to complete, but the search is the best part. Chris

Here is a ball from the 1924 Junior World Series. The scores from the first three games were recorded on the ball.
Lefty Grove was pitching for the Orioles that series.

Team Bat Sets
I missed out on two bats so far. Nick Allen and Oscar Roettger.
Don't hate me, but I had a Nick Allen bat at one time as part of my 1919 Reds collection. I gifted it to an individual who helped me land a jersey I was after. Dave Grob

Of course with all the talk of team bats I wonder why I’ve never even thought about collecting a specific year for an Orioles team; loved all those teams.

A nearly complete collection of the 1998 Yankees, all on 1998 model bats.

Being from Minnesota I can appreciate your set of Twins bats. I had the opportunity to meet many of those guys back in the 80’s and 90’s sitting with them at signings and shows. Most of them were really decent guys.
I am going to venture a guess that Clyde has not called you because he has many of those bats from his own collection that are currently on display or able to be displayed with the Twins. Clyde had a ridiculously large collection of Twins memorabilia before selling it to them and taking the job with them. He’s a really good guy so I’m sure he’ll get back to you at some point. Maybe he’s just off for the winter. Take care, Jason

I have a half dozen random Orioles bats that I picked up years ago but never considered chasing a specific year's team or lineup. It would be a fun project but given how full my hobby room is now I'd be hard pressed to find a way to display them. I'm afraid they'd end up like the ones I have...in a closet.

I only have one GU bat besides a Brookie and that is a Ken Singleton. I picked it up years and years ago. If I was to ever collect O’s bats I’d likely just go after the starting position players and really not be particular of a specific year (I’m sure a F. Robby would be costly). Of course with two player bats I’d still have a long way to go. By the way I’d love to see that packed hobby room!
