1998 Tim Raines bat on ebay

[dwn1955]

Did anyone else notice the Raines Yankees bat on ebay which ends in a few hours? Seems to be getting up there in price( especially since it appears to have been used by Homer Bush with the writing on the knob). Perhaps someone is trying to fill out a team set.

One reason is because the seller shill bids the heck out of his auctions. Has done that for years.

is there another number written underneath the "Rock 30"

It says Bush with 22 under it. Which is Homer Bush. Both Rianes and Bush bats from the 98 Yankees are tough finds. I am guessing that is why the price was a bit steep.

I don't think the bat was worth the final price, but the nice thing is, Raines let Bush borrow the bat and Bush ended up getting a hit with it, and Raines told him to go ahead and keep the bat.
