BATS! They're not just in the Belfry! Travel Baseball Part III

      
  
The Fall baseball season is drawing to a close and I am  feeling a little...

Batty
1.
crazy; insane.

 Those who know me personally will be asking themselves, "So, what's different?"  I will simple chuckle and remind myself to 'un-friend' them on Facebook. 

Why am I feeling 'battier' than usual?  I have been over run with Bats. 



 No, that's not what I mean....Baseball Bats!

Bat 
    1.
    an implement with a handle and a solid surface, usually of wood, used for hitting the ball in games such as baseball.


Bats are a collectors item around my house.  If I had a dollar for every bat I've bought, I'd have like... $50.  

Not impressive, I know, but when each bat costs, on average, $200...Now you see where I'm going?


This gem was one of the very first bats I ever bought.  He was 5...why is it still here?

Circa 2005
   This next bat was used in Cooperstown 2011 .. It's legendary...Also dented and a paperweight!

6 Home Runs 1 Grand Slam


















I got nothing for this one...


Or This one....





These bats I found in the garage...Maybe he used them, maybe he didn't. REALLY???


"I don't like the way it sounds, looks, feels..."



Brace yourself for this next Picture.  I think it defines my life as a Baseball Mom and why I often feel like a ....

BAT
 1. a woman regarded as unattractive or unpleasant.
"some deranged old woman"


My Trunk ! The HORROR! 

I see a bat bag, 2 bats, 2 chairs, a flip-flop, pair of cleats, blanket, cooler, Jimmy Hoffa and my self esteem slipping away...


I was relieved to hear this morning from a friend of mine, that his son has "more bats than a Haunted House."  He followed it up by telling me he just bought 3 more bats... online...at a good price...Super Cheap!  I wonder what his trunk looks like?
