Kirk Gibson to auction off iconic HR bat
I love the way he describes the bat:
Kirk Gibson to auction off historic home run bat - ESPN Los Angeles
I love the way he describes the bat:
"If you look at the handle on the end of that bat, there's an 'x' because it was a reject. I really only got it because it was so light, I was hurt, so I started to get that ready," he said. "The cleat marks at the head of the bat where I hit my shoes, there's indentations at the beginning of the bat. At the end of the bat, it was so deep, there's really deep indentations, the red ink from the foul balls I hit is on it. You can actually see the spot where I made contact with the ball. It's preserved very well."
