Just got in cracked and repaired X-Bat made for Carlos Lee, but apparently used by Harold Baines, which would date it to 2000-01.

Nice pickup. Glad to see you adding to your collection, Dave.

Just got this in yesterday and it's definitely one of the highlights of my collection

Pavel Datsyuk road playoff gamer from 2010 photomatched to games 1 and 7 of the opening round (will post photomatches later in the photomatched thread).

He had 1 assist in a 3-2 loss in game 1 and scored 2 goals including the game winner in a 6-0 win in game 7. The series was against Phoenix.

Very nice.

I wish. Unfortunately zero chance of that. When he was in the minors he used a Phoenix company bat that was branded with "Hard Rock Maple" on a maple leaf logo. My understanding is that back then Phoenix only used the Phoenix branding on major league bats and for minor leagues and below they used the HRM branding. Upon his call up he used the Hard Rock Maple for the first two or three games, before his first shipment of Phoenix branded bats arrived. He got two hits in his debut game...

These photos are from his debut game...



Also, thanks Brian.
