Mine has to be Mike Trout's 410th career hit. I'm not breaking new ground when I say he's likely to wind up as one of the greatest players ever to play the game and I'm happy to own a small piece of his career:

Thanks Mike I agree about retiring his 21. Scott that Nuff Said is an awesome piece worthy of a museum.

And 2 interesting bats:

I have a copy of the same panoramic - very nice! The wording on the bottom of mine says it's the "14th annual convention of the National Rural Letter Carriers Association", from August 9, 1916.

Have been waiting a long time to pick this one up. It's a Ruth 40K, Professional Model, with both proper length and weight. The labeling period for this specific bat is '23 to '25, which also lines up perfect for his single order of 40K bats in early '23. PSA even notes that this is only the second 40K model they have authenticated, that they consider to be consistent with the 40K order appearing on Ruth's PBOR dated April 10, 1923. Very happy to have it as part of my collection.

Beautiful Ruth bat. Who would not be happy to have that in his collection?
