Looks Great. Good Luck. Now If I Can Only Find A Mientkiewicz Pink Bat I'ld Be A Happy Man.

[kylehess10]

I believe you sent me a different file for those Crawford pics.....I can't figure out how to download them.......they aren't any type of jpg image. Also, for this REALLY sweet Bartlett bat, lemme know the exact date it was used and I'll take a look.

[camarokids]

Thanks Guys,
Kyle I will have to check on the date. When I get the bat, I'll post or email you better pics. I will get you better pics of the Crawford X-Bat.
Can you email a price for the photomatch's?

There aren't any pics of Bartlett using the pink bat on Getty or WireImages

I opened this thread expecting to find some elaborate story about how, for the first time in your life, you got pink.

All I know is for my first time, Jason Bartlett wasn't there or in any way involved.;):eek:

Not sure why, but I was actually looking at the wrong date when I told you the Rays video wasn't "archived" yet in MLB.tv (I was looking at May 13th instead of May 11th), therefore, I'll get the video of him breaking it by tonight. They video is available for the 11th, so I'll get you the best screenshots I can get.

Hey Kyle, that is too cool! Thanks a ton for posting!

I just need to figure out how to download and save. Or will it always be available on the site?

Thanks a lot!

I never delete anything from my photobucket so it will be there as long as my photobucket is alive. If you want me to e-mail you the video then I can do that if you want, just incase it were erased for any reason.

[camarokids]

I saved the video file.

Kyle thanks a ton!

You are a great and unselfish person!

[MRMusial]

That's awesome!

Hey Kyle ... If it's not too much trouble, any chance you could post video of Marlon Anderson's pinch-hit at bat on Mother's Day? I've got his bat.

Thanks Rob! I love the bat even more now. I can't wait to get the pic blown up.

[indyred]

One of the beauties of collecting game used is when you find a sweet photo like that to go with your bat. Should make for a great display.

Even my wife said that the pic next to the pink bat looks cool! And THAT is coming from someone who could care less abut collecting game used stuff....

Had to revive this thread to send out a public thanks to - by an odd coincidence - the originator of this very thread: David, aka camarokids.

He alerted me, the other day, to the presence of a 2008 Robbie Hammock Diamondbacks Mother's Day bat, with excellent use, on MLB Auctions, and I picked it up today for 85 bucks + tax and shipping.

This is very cool.

Glad you won the bat! what a deal! Is that your first pink bat?

There is a Carlos Guillen Pink Bat on mlb.com now....used against the Yankee$.....

[yanks12025]

The Guillen is issued because it was a rain out that day.

thanks for pointing that out!

I didn't notice, I just saw Yankees.....

[godwulf]

It is. The only other pink bat I've ever bid on was a team signed Mother's Day bat from a couple of years ago. Every single player on the roster, the guys on the DL, the manager and all the coaches, everybody had signed this bat, and it was beautiful. I ended up getting outbid on it, and I just couldn't go any higher at the time. I think it went for a little over 3K.

[dodgerbats]

Congrats! Congrats!

I'm Still Pinkless In My Bat Collection! Hopefully Someday I'll Be Able To Add One To My Collection Too!

Enjoy! Mark (dodgerbats) :)

Yeah he broke it pretty good. I think the broken in half bats are cool.
