Steve,

Very nice bats, but I especially like the Clemente.

Thanks Greg, The Clemente is certainly one of my favorites.

Love the Clemente!

Not HOFers, but a couple of my favorites.

The Hank Gowdy bat -- sorry for the crummy pic -- is really cool, because instead of wrapping the handle with tape, it's actually a wire! Does anyone have any players' bats with this? (The others are Stan Hack and John Kruk.)

The Ernie Koy is hickory, meaning it's heavy as heck. I like how he carved his name into the blank barrel. It's sidewritten for him. (The others are Piggy French and Jack Fournier blank/sidewritten.)

Hey Steve, this bat looks familiar! As does the Schmidt...

One of my favorites - really heavy use, provenance, nice signature and specific to the first of his back-to-back MVP seasons in '58....

Brett gamer specific to '77, it has great pine tar given the use was not as heavy by him generally on the early bats.

The real home run king

The early small script barrel signature versions are extremely rare to find relative to other Musial gamers. This one has great first-hand provenance to being acquired in '47 at Ebbets Field, with very heavy barrel use and nice look overall....

As a Bench collector, this one is at or near the top..a bat specific to 1970, his monster MVP season. It has stellar first-hand provenance from one of the original owners of the Montreal Expos, very heavy pine tar, grooved handle, and great barrel use. Maybe a favorite as far as a display piece...
