When you think of baseball's Wizard of Oz, you probably think of Ozzie Smith. But it looks like Ozzie Virgil was also known as "WIZ".
Juan Castillo, #3 on the Brewers, appears to have the bat of Hall of Famer Robin Yount, #19.
Luis Medina is holding bat #65 in this spring training shot. When he finally made his big league debut in September, he wore #69. If baseball-reference is correct, he was the first player to wear #69 in a major league game. (You can see him wearing the number in this video, about 33 minutes in.) (Baseball reference list Alan Mills as wearing #69 for the Yankees but it was only a spring training number for him.)
Finally, I had to include the card with Oddibe McDowell's personalized Rangers jacket. This is a great, underrated junk wax card.
Juan must've been hoping that some of Robin's success would rub off of that bat.
