Today I picked up something I have wanted to add to my collection for a long, long time. I have a Kirby Puckett game used bat that I got signed at Twinsfest years ago. I always wanted a Joe Mauer game bat to go along with it and today I got one. My pal Ben W was downsizing his collection and bought this bat from the Twins Pro Shop back in October, 2006 and got it signed at Twinsfest one year. He reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in buying a few items of his and this was one of them. He offered me a fair price and I jumped at the chance. I picked it up after the Twins game (they won!) and chatted with Ben for a couple minutes. He is really happy it is going to someone who will appreciate it. I will have to try to look at some late season games online and see if I can photomatch the bat to a game! THAT would be cool!
