Name your 3 favorite bats in your collection and why?

[Vintagedeputy]

As I steadily build my collection, I'm sure this will change. My 3 favorites right now are:

2007 Jorge Posada Louisville Slugger P320 - photomatched to May 29, 2007. He hit an rbi single with and it was his 800th career rbi.

2003 Mark Grace Rawlings 256B - just got it in today. A beautiful bat from one of the classiest guys in the game. He had the most hits of anyone in the 90's, even more than Tony Gwynn.

1977-79 Bill Madlock Louisville Slugger C253 - of all the great hitters in the NL in the 70's, this guy won 4 batting titles. Around 1999, Mad Dog was a minor league hitting instructor for Toledo. I staked out his hotel and got him to sign it for me. Its a big ol' war club!

How about you guys?

I don't have many bats at all but for the ones I do have, here are my favorites:


1. Kurt Abbott game used 2000 World Series bat; held my Derek Jeter in Game 5 after Abbott shattered it and it landed in front of Jeter. Paid only $75 for it, but that was the price BEFORE I knew anything about Jeter holding it.






Abbott as he shattered the bat:




The bat in Jeter's hands:




Another shot of it in his hands:




The photomatch:







2. Edgar Renteria game used 2002 St. Louis Cardinals. I found out that this came from 1 of only 3 orders (out of 12 for the season) and I only paid $50 shipped for it and it already came with PSA/DNA letters







3. Glenn Hubbard game used bat. This was the first piece of game used memorabilia that I ever bought. Only cost me $25 about 5 years ago. I got it signed by Hubbard in 2003.

Nice 3 Kyle! Anything touched by Jeter is worth its weight in gold!

My three favorite bats are:

Brad Wilkerson MLB hologramed that was used on 4-4-05, the Nationals inagural game! (Very few of these out there.)

Alfonso Soriano Washington Nationals PSA graded 9.5. It has a freakin TON of use on it. Awesome bat from a historic 40-40-40 season!

Ryan Zimmerman MLB hologramed and autographed rookie season bat. It has a TON of use on it also and has a great signature and inscription.

(Thanks Andrew for the Soriano & Zimmerman)

Soriano and Wilkerson

Here are my three favorite Cardinal bats. Bob Gibson HOF81, saw pitch many times and my favorite pitcher. He doesn't have 300 wins, but many a player can still remember the sound of that fast ball passing their ear........ Lou Brock HOF85, could always steal a base when needed. And the toughest bat I ever acquired, Cardinal 3B and announcer, Mike Shannon. That was a 10+ yr adventure and cost me a Brock gamer in trade. When was the last time you saw or owned a Mike Shannon game bat, would like to know??? Hope you all enjoy this photo..

I would love to have my Soriano bat that I posted a picture of on here photo matched. If anyone has time and likes to do that. The date on the end is 8-17-06, hopefully that can narrow the search.
