I got a HUGE pickup today!

[dbacksfan4life]

I went to the White Sox Spring Training Facility today. Adam Dunn Broke his bat during practice. He then threw it toward the fans. It didn't make it all the way to the fence so a security guard got the bat and gave it to me!

Thanks for the look!

Wow congrats! I know some guys on here will be jealous...

So awesome!

Wow, what a cool way to get a star player's bat. And a great signature too.

It all happened so quick l didn't realize it was signed until l was taking the pictures!

So he was using a bat already signed? Weird. Plus the auto looks off to me. He usually fish hooks the d in Adam, and the capital D in Dunn is more angular that usual. Those ball marks seem odd to me too... like someone stamped the MLB logo on them.

This doesn't end well.

Congrats, dbacksfan4life! Getting a Dunn bat like that at a game would pretty much be my dream come true. I really hope he has a big year and is able to sign on with a playoff-bound team.

Very nice! Get a nice case for it.

Awesome bat!! Congrats on the new pickup!

Don't worry about the naysayers, Adam has some variations in his signature and the ink transfer on the barrel is absolutely legit.


For what it's worth, I've collected game used items since 2001 and have bought/sold/traded and handled 100's of game used bats, ink transfer from a baseball is more common than some might think.

He signed it in the dugout right before he threw it to the fans.

Thanks! I've always wanted a batso it was something very special I'll never forget that moment!

Very nice! Get a nice case for it.

Thanks! I'm 15 so l don't know anything about bats, do you know of a good case for it that is cheap?

He coulda just been in a hurry to sign and get rid of it

I use BCW bat tubes for my game-used bats. They have UV protection so the Adam Dunn signature on your bat won't fade if you have it out on display. These tubes are cheaper per bat when you buy them in bulk but if you only want one bat tube, I believe this is the cheapest option you'll find online (I've purchased my tubes from this company and was very satisfied):
