Toronto Blue Jays Championship Era Game Used & Signed Bat Collection – Devon White, Ed Sprague & Ernie Whitt (Greenshields Collection)
A desirable three-piece Toronto Blue Jays game-used bat collection featuring Devon White, Ed Sprague, and Ernie Whitt — key contributors to the franchise’s rise and championship success during the 1980s and early 1990s.
The lot includes a Cooper Pro 100 professional model bat attributed to game use by Devon White and signed on the barrel. White was widely regarded as one of the premier defensive outfielders of his era and played a critical role in the Blue Jays’ back-to-back World Series championship teams in 1992 and 1993.
Also included is a Louisville Slugger R205 model bat attributed to game use by Ed Sprague and signed on the barrel. Sprague remains best remembered for his pivotal home run in Game 2 of the 1992 World Series and was an important contributor during the club’s championship years.
Completing the grouping is a Louisville Slugger S212 professional model bat attributed to game use by longtime Blue Jays catcher Ernie Whitt and signed on the barrel. Whitt was a cornerstone player during the club’s formative years and helped establish the foundation for Toronto’s later success.
All three bats display visible professional use characteristics including ball marks, surface wear, scuffing, and handling wear consistent with game use. The Devon White bat additionally exhibits a heavily taped handle, while the Ed Sprague bat retains knob markings corresponding to the player’s uniform number. The signatures remain visible and contribute strong display appeal throughout the collection.
Together, the grouping represents an attractive collection of Blue Jays championship-era and franchise-history memorabilia with strong regional collector appeal.
