The Dave Kingman Thread

[skyking26]

Posted here are pickups as of today 4/2/15. While this date reminds me of what started as the passing of my mother 25 years ago today and the beginning of that odyssey; at least today 25 years later I can look at the date in a different light. 2 great kids; both talented and amazing young adults... and pictured here 3 great new bats!

The R161 Kingman and the S2 are both old label H&B's that we can trace to the '78 season by the labeling period ('77-79), and throw 77 out as the #10 is represented on the knob of 1 bat and both came originated from a bullpen coach with the Cubs... the R161 was ordered by Kingman in '78 and '80...the '80 season would have been the new large LS logo so we can pinpoint one or both from '78, the start of 3 seasons with the Chicago Cubs.
