You did the right thing by passing the bat along and you should be commended.

I can't imagine the feeling the guy got when he saw his grandfather's bat.

Classy move on your part Dan.

Default goose bumps here too

I got goose bumps too, hearing of this very warm situation.

You are a good man, Dan. Karma is definitely on your side. I actually think quite a few on this board would have done the same thing. It's a very, very nice gesture on your behalf. Something good will happen to you because of it.

Very nice Dan! As Carl Spackler would say:

"...there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

I admit I was skeptical when Dan first posted this and told him he had no obligation to part with it. Now I know he did the right thing.

As an attorney I would have little choice but to extract the maximum I could from the would-be buyer or else risk being disbarred.

I'm kidding...really.
