Game used bats of Ed Bailey, Ted Kluszewski, Gus Bell, Wally Post, and Frank Robinson. Each bat dates to their years as Reds players.

Is that a giant wall poster

Here are my signed 1948 Bowman Reds cards...the only Reds player included in the set that I'm missing is Herm Wehmeier. If anybody has one, or knows of any leads, I would greatly appreciate the help! (Wehmeier, Buddy Kerr and Dave Koslo are the only 3 cards I need to complete my signed 1948 Bowman set!)

I’m wondering, too. I love what you did, even if it’s just a computer creation.

I took photos of my game used bats of these Reds sluggers and superimposed them over the photo which I took at the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum this year. A little more interesting than just photos of the game used bats.
The Frank Robinson bat is from the 1961 to 1963 period. When I purchased the bat it was already signed by Frank. I went to a card show here in Cincinnati a few years later and Frank was a signing guest. I waited until his signing period was done and asked his promoter if I could get a photo of Frank and I holding the bat. His promoter and Frank said no problem. It is a great photo, no charge, and a keepsake treasure as just a year later Frank passed. A great memory and all I had to do was ask. Frank could not have been nicer and really enjoyed seeing one of his gamers.
