Team Bat Sets

[Bugsy]

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.

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.

I know you guys are talking team bats, but I love that Jr. WS ball...

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

That's a really impressive set you got there! I'm surprised that Ted U proves to be the tough one. Me, I would find it hard to let go of that collection if it was mine, so I admire your willingness to share it. When Taylor finally finishes building the brick and mortar Minneapolis Millers museum, maybe you could display them there!!

Yes, I have extras of all those guys, I believe. I will have to check though...

Had the exact same thought reading the thread (which is amazing for sure).

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.

Bob,

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!
