Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. Hi Bud. Great pics, my 10-year old son would go crazy for these. Not sure I should show him, I might have to do his room all over again. Do you have any idea how those bats were hung in the office? Do you have any hardware suggestions for a project like that. Thanks again, great IB. Charmean

MK Designs They may sell bat mounts in sports memorabilia stores. My dad's been collecting baseball stuff for as long as I can remember, and I'm almost positive I have seen them in memorabilia stores. Gives you a starting place in case you don't get an answer from the designer!
