Hero destroyed: Mickey Mantles corked bat goes up for auction

[Village Plumber]

now that happ gets drilled in the head doesn't finish the game and obviously era rises because of it

Happ's ERA rose because he got hit in the head?

I didn't win only second CHJ had matt harvey game over...but I did beat you for the infinity time.

I have beaten you. And you lost last night. You didn't beat anyone. Your words.

Remind me your overall wins.

I have 4.

Cleveland Indians' Mark Reynolds says home run staredown was 'probably the coolest thing I've ever done in my career' | cleveland.com

He should try the bat flip and hop next time.

Heat, I'm going to politely ask that you please stop talking negatively about the Yankees and their fanbase unless your comments are directed at VP or Pete.

Thank you.

Speaking of Kimbrel, entering last nights game he had better numbers this year in his first 13 appearances then he did in his first 13 appearances last year, youd dispute this, but youd be very wrong.

-

he also has as many blown saves now as he did all last year

hes' done

from the auction:

Offered here is the first corked bat linked to Mickey Mantle and is accompanied by an X-ray of the bat showing the aforementioned cork at the barrel end. As noticed and documented by John Taube of PSA/DNA, "during our examination of the bat, we noticed a circular area .75 inches wide in the center of the top barrel. The finish in the area has also been touched up to mask the circular area. Alterations of this nature indicate the barrel has been drilled and filled with cork….we had the barrel x-rayed and (it) confirms that the barrel has been drilled and filled with cork...this is the first corked bat of Mantle that we have seen or heard of".
In his autobiography, then Minnesota Twins equipment manager Ray Crump admitted that he had corked some bats for Mickey. Until now, none of these bats have surfaced…taking nothing away from the icon and legend of Mickey Mantle, this is indeed a one of a kind piece of NY Yankees and baseball history…a Mantle corked gamer.

What is it called when a guy that had some injury problems in the past goes head first into the stands injuring his back in a Spring Training game??

 

[Rock Strongo]

pete, did your childhood just get ruined?

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

Hows that bullpen situation doing in Boston? Who's the closer now? Who Flung Dung?

LOL @ Kimbrel being done. Jesus Christ.

I do kinda remember him starting slow last year and me getting excited I could rub it in your face like my cum last night. But then the day I was going to drop the bomb his ERA was below a 2.
