Let’s start a game used bat thread.

[jason.1969]

I have a bat that I suspect is game used and perhaps even “THE GAME” used. Unfortunately I’m at a dead end in terms of my research.

Came from the collection of a deceased Pirates collector and carried no provenance.

As the photos show it’s a broken bat (carefully
repaired) marked with info from Rennie Stennett’s 7 for 7 game. What I’ll call THE BAT from that game lives at the Hall of Fame, but it’s certainly plausible to me that more than one bat would have been used.

Either way a fun item as I have a special connection to the Rennie game. (My artwork honoring the game just went up at PNC last month.)

I'm assuming you've looked at all the photos of him at bat that you could find from the game, but have you been able to find video?

That’s a cool Rennie bat. I was very tempted to grab that one myself. I didn’t pull the trigger because the HOF claims to have that bat in their collection. I guess you can never be certain. They also claim to have Clemente’s 3000th hit bat and it was recently photo-matched to a private collection.

The yellow paintpen/sharpie is the bomb. Wish I'd had one back when I was getting a lot of bats signed at Spring Training.

I've had this bat for years. When I dug it out today, I'd forgotten all about the Worth brand. I just picked up this pair of batting gloves for 20 bucks. I have a soft spot for Brenly because a) he lived down the hall in my Freshman dorm at Ohio University (alma mater of Mike Schmidt, also) and b) because of the story shown in this clipping.

Love the ink - the yellow really pops. Couldn't Tristar find a less conspicuous spot for their holograms?

Opened up a fairly recent acquisition. It's a U1 Tommy McCraw.

One of my more recent favorite Giants. I don't know if you guys have ever seen this picture of 5 or 6 year old Brandon, taken at Candlestick Park in 1992. Years later, he reprised the pose. This bat is from 2014 - one of Craw's World Series years.

Received my letter for my Billy Williams bat.

Rob love that Crawford bat. The pic of him as a kid has always been a favorite of mine. First time I’ve seen the reprise it’s hilarious thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful bat from the sweet spot of Billy Williams' career. Thanks for posting the bat photo and the LOA, etc.
