1967 Tom Seaver rookie game used bat:

I have only seen late career, typically Reds era, bats for him mostly...pitchers bats are tough, Tom being an inner circle HOF pitcher, was thrilled to find this rookie bat with great use, pine tar on upper handle and a 41 on the knob.

Officially joined the Mike Trout club. Picked up this 2017 uncracked bat with Anderson coa. It was used on April 14 to record his 902 career hit and his 530 rbi.

That Trout is a great bat. Awesome! Congrats!

1998 Paul O'Neill bat:

I collect NYY bats specific to '98, so grabbed another O'Neill bat for that team. It has a couple of eyes written on the barrel, which I have seen for him on maybe another bat or two before.

According to Paul's brother Robert the clubhouse manager Robbie cuccuzoa would place these eyes on bats when he hadn't had a hit for a while--allowing his bat to "see" the ball
