I would try to get to know them a little bit and find more out. Do they live near you ? They could be huge Husker fans and have premo season tickets !! I see you offered it to them at what you paid, that was very nice, looking forward to hear how it pans out.

the requestor
The requestor was very nice and very unassuming on the phone. I am sure that is the way he was with Dan also. It would mean a great deal to their family if he got it. I didn't get the whole story but I think it had to do with this gentleman's great grandfather or grandfather. Maybe the bat was the great grandfathers and this gentleman was trying to acquire it for his dad. Maybe Dan'o can fill us in but I know it was an immediate family type of heirloom. (at least that is what I think I recall). Bottom line is the gentleman was very nice on the phone. best regards

If Dan is prepared to part with the bat I agree it is a very nice gesture, and I applaud him. But I still feel he has no obligation. He should only do it if it makes him happy.

In reading the very evenly divided responses, it really struck me that there are valid arguments for both sides. Since there is no "right or wrong", you just have to be guided by your heart (more so than by your head).
In reading his post, I believe that's exactly what Dan did, and I really applaud his decision. Either way would have been ok, but sometimes enjoyment of this great hobby goes beyond the number of items you are able to obtain.

I'm surprised that there is only one prewar Lincoln bat in existence. Didn't any other ex Lincoln players make it into the high minors or majors? Given the large number of prewar bats in existence, isn't it possible that there is one more ex Lincoln bat out there? Just tell me who to look for.

Well, I got an email today from the party who bought my bat...it was a police officer who wanted to give it to his partner at his retirement party. Evidently this guy talked a lot about his grandfather who played in the minors. He told me it "took his breath away" when he saw the bat. Hidden away for years in the Louisville Slugger vault, making its way through at least two collectors it's finally at home.
