Ellis Burks GU Bat Project Complete!

jay1065 · May 20, 2013

I've been trying to acquire one bat for each team Burks played for throughout his career. Until now, a bat from his days with Colorado has eluded me. Finally landed one last week. Here they are:

Boston Red Sox (two more Red Sox bats at the bottom of this post):

Chicago White Sox:

Colorado Rockies:

San Francisco Giants:

Cleveland Indians:

More Red Sox:

Sweet mother of God, that's awesome!
I loved watching Burks play back in the 80's when I was growing up. Broke my heart when he left the Sox and 2004 was all the more special because he was on the team.
Great job and thanks for sharing!

One of the coolest collections I've seen.

Nice collection. I don't own any game used bats. Maybe one day.

Thanks for the comments! Now I can focus on finishing up the Red Sox portion of Burks' cards and oddball items (currently at 73.9%...give or take.)

That is awesome! Congrats!

I always enjoy seeing full, game used items.

Those bats are sweet.

Really nice, congrats. Like the photo ideas too... might steal that to photograph my Erstad, Clark, Murray and Jacobsen bats.

That's pretty cool and a great idea for people who collect players that have played on a bunch of teams. Now you have to find GU jerseys from each team to match!

I have a GU batting glove from his early days with Boston. I wouldn't mind finding more of them from the other teams.
