Might be a younger base of audience here on the forum too that doesn't appreciate vintage as much as we do! I usually post pics during the day as I'm off on medical for a few more weeks following surgery. Thanks again and drop me a line via email anytime.

    Re: The Dave Kingman Thread

    Top: Dave Kingman Game Used Bat Model S2 used with either Mets or Padres in 1977. Kingman played for 4 teams in 77: Mets-Padres-Angels-Yankees. Uniform numbers were respectively 26/26/10/48; so we can narrow this bat to Met/Padres usage. (Cupped end)

    Middle Bat: Also narrowed to '77 and with the #10 on the knob we conclude use of this Model S2 with the Angels. 6 Bats were ordered with the specs on March 11, 77 making this pretty rare. (solid end)

    Bottom: Model S2 77-79 labeling period. An H&B bat so manufactured '78/79 during his Cubs tenure. (Cupped end)

    Re: The Dave Kingman Thread

    [SIZE="4"1979 Dave Kingman Tour of Japan Bat. I've seen a few of these out there for Yaz and maybe one other player through the years. Very tough bat and came via trade with a strong Mets NJ collector with an amazing Kingman collector that I am envious of to say the least.

    April 1980 Cub of the Month Bat: Dave Kingman. Didn't know they did this and to date this is the only one like it I have seen.


    1980-83 Labeling period: Dave Kingman Game Used R161C Bat. Ordered twice in career; 1978 and 1980. This bat pertains to the 1980 order of 12 bats. Red 10 on knob, cupped end.][/SIZE]

    Re: The Dave Kingman Thread

    Top: Dave Kingman Game Used Adirondack Model 113X. Cupped end.

    Second: Kingman Game Used Bat 80-83 Model S2 Cupped end.

    Third Bat: Same as second with exception that it has a solid end.

    Fourth Bat: Also 80-83 labeling period but specific to 1981 because he was #10 with Cubs and the K10 is #26. Kingman ordered 12 bats on 3/27/81. This model was made specifically for Kingman based on a ADR model he sent to H&B for replication on 3/16/81. [/SIZE][/B]

    Re: The Dave Kingman Thread

    Top: The 80's opened the door for a new bat manufacturer: Worth. Many players starting using them and here Kingman used both a natural model WC115 and a black model W5R. The black bat was used in '84; the natural in '86.

    Also pictured a unfinished C243 bat used in 1986.

    *I want to say I obtained the blonde Worth in the early 90's and I like it because of the story of acquiring it, and the fact that it is the ONLY blonde Worth I've ever seen. Had seen several Black Worth thru the years.

    Ok, the story... Guy calls me up and says he has the blonde Worth. Back in the early 90's Kingman's bats were $75 and he wanted $200. I said ok. He said "hang on; the bat is in my soon to be divorced wife's house. I need to get in there and get it." He called a few days later and said he got it and send the money. Never will forget that!
