Show me some different bat brands....

[TigersCubs84]

I'll start off with this, then post some different ones as time permits. There's a few run of the mill sprinkled in, but you get the idea...
Second one down is a Storm, also like the Big Game.

[TigersCubs84]

A few more...interesting story, traded #1 overall pick Matt Bush for the Chautauqua. I needed one for my collection, and traded him a Brian Dopirak Zinger for it after a game. Bush was a good guy to me. The SXA was used and signed by Ryan Zimmerman.

[tigerdale]

What a great collecting idea...looking forward to seeing more bats of yours!!

[earlywynnfan]

Do you have any Reaper bats in your collection? I've never seen one for sale, and they're cool.

[earlywynnfan]

I think we've had a thread like this before, but I still love looking at lumber.

Kissimmee Stix and KR-3

[earlywynnfan]

Some old models: Hanna, Spalding (2 eras), Campbell

[IronPigs92]

Don't forget Chandler bats.

[HawaiiSportsNut]

Ooh that Chandler Hawaii logo is sick. Love it.

[Juan Gris]

Ooh that Chandler Hawaii logo is sick. Love it.
I was thinking the same thing - really cool customization.

This is a great thread I'm looking forward to checking in on. Good work, everyone!

[HawaiiSportsNut]

Ooh that Chandler Hawaii logo is sick. Love it.

MLB stopped Chandler from producing logos of this type. I believe that it had to be a single color only. Read somewhere that LVS made a complaint to MLB, not sure about it though.

[TigersCubs84]

Wow, awesome responses here! For Earlywynn, I like that Campbell, and I'll post the Reaper, it's the second bat down, the second from the bottom is a Striker. I'll get better reaper pics later.
Hawaii, great looking Chandler Logo, and Diego's. Eric Chavez owned Diego co. Also, on Rte 66 Klubs, I think Omar Vizquel owned them?

[HawaiiSportsNut]

Here's a few more bats from my collection.

Spring Training, Fall and Instructional Leagues - all great times to see and obtain the oddball bats. Bats that you never see used during the regular season.

Speaking of which, can anyone provide a link to the current list of MLB-approved bats?

[chuck70]

Here is a Prince Fielder RockBats and a Scooter Gennett SabreCat

Always looking for Mike Cameron,Casey McGehee,and JJ Hardy

[TigersCubs84]

Ok, time to dig a little deeper....Top bat on left photo is a Baum, KC Slammer is a Norberto "Paco" Martin (love that nickname) right photo, first bat is Barnstable (old Fish logo) located on Cape Cod, Sono, Stick by Stan..love the logo, it says home run after home run, picked it up long ago at a Phillies game. Dude made it right in front of me at the game. Then Superior Pro and Diamond.

More to follow as time permits.

[TigersCubs84]

This week features a Ironwood Corey Koskie, The Zinger is a Brian Dopirak signed "Died a hero" because he got a double when he broke it. In the other photo are a Hatakayama, Devoir, Victus, Axis, and Stan the Man, which is an Al Kaline store model.

[godwulf]

Picked up a batch of two dozen+ plus bats from Diamondbacks ST yesterday, and my first "DTB" (Dove Tail Bats) was among them.

[TigersCubs84]

I got a DTB a bit ago as well. Nice logo on those!

[seanbaseball]

Stick by Stan.........Rick Ankiel

[TigersCubs84]

Awesome stick Sean! Thanks for posting that. First Stick by Stan real gamer I've seen. That logo really stands out. Beauty in my eyes.

[TigersCubs84]

This week I'd like to post a few more different brands. The top is a Roy Hobbs, have no idea where I got it, but the logo is cursive and I like it. The next is an RG Johnson, which had been around in the NE (Maine) for many years. Johnson's Grandson Bob Logan was a teacher who ran the business on the side for many years. Very glad to pick one of these up before they went out of business. Winfield tried one of these, but Johnson's were mainly popular among non affiliated players. Next is an M Powered, then Diamond Club with the baseball as the "O" in Diamond. Last is an East Coast Sticks. Thanks for reading and looking!

[TigersCubs84]

The following are: Caliburn, Dove Tail Bat (DTB), Fonza, Mad Dog, and Mt. Rushmore. Rushmore used to have better red,white, and blue logo's, with presidents names being used for models.

[TigersCubs84]

A few more: Top to bottom, Mattingly which is a Travis Hafner model, Yardstick, TWIG, Rhino which is a Elmer Dessens, Zorian

[apfriz]

I remember the Stick by Stan store at the old Veterens Stadium, with regards to actual Stick by Stan gamers, with a little digging, you can see
Bobby Abreu and Scott Rolen 'stick by stan' gu bats, as they both
used them sporadically.....

The stick by stan store was super cool, always wondered why they
did away with it??

[TigersCubs84]

Thought I would bump this with a few additions, hoping someone has picked up some new or oddball brands to show off for everyone interested. The Georgia Cracker logo was filled in, it was faded and I wanted to be able to see it.

[centauri]

Here are some different ones I've picked up. The Manny Ramirez Zett bat is my favorite in my collection (mainly Indians). It is photo matched exactly, or at least very very close.

[TigersCubs84]

Centauri, I missed your post on this. I really like that Manny Zett as well. I also like the logo on that Viper! Thanks for posting.

[TigersCubs84]

Picked this up off the bay for my oddball collection. It's a BON, which stands for Best or nothing.

[TigersCubs84]

Added an Alexi Casilla Carrera to the collection. About the 114th different brand in the collection.

[MUSEOVEN]

Louisville (made in Venezuela).-
Adirondack (made in Venezuela).-
Luisbel (not sure if was use in game)
Bate Mono (Luis Aparicio model and used by Aparicio en Venezuela)
This is a new model bat: Homer Bat (ir very rare and was used the last season)

[TigersCubs84]

That bat mono logo is sweet on that Aparicio. Thanks for posting these seldom seen brands.

[MUSEOVEN]

Another Venezuelan Bats Brands

[MUSEOVEN]

Also i found this garry maddux bat, what do you think abaut the label??

[MSpecht]

Seeing one of my (local) favorites -- Glomar --- pictured in a previous post reminded me of the brand and its demise. The story can be found here:

The complete story can be found in another link at the bottom of the link above.

[TigersCubs84]

Mike, thanks for the Glomar info. I find it interesting how businesses fold or succeed. A lot of good old fashioned sweat and hard work and to see it all end in a storage locker? Kinda sad.
