I have an Edgar Renteria bat that has the bat specifics and an X on the knob. I used to think it might be a BP bat until I came across several photos of him using the model I have in a game - the X is clearly visible on the knob in the photo.
I wonder if it is a variation on length/weight and it is just easier to see the "X" in a hurry.
Sorry to catch this so late, but it really depends on the team and the player. I know that the Detroit Tigers will put an X on the knobs of each game bat for their players. You can see various pics of Magglio is a game with a bat with an x marked under the knob. The same can be said for other Tigers players. I am sure other teams/player follow this as well.
the 'X' is a weight symbol. The tigers started this years ago. That would be a 31.5 ounce. It's actually a 1 w/ a line drawn thru it. An example would be a 33 ounce would be '111' (three lines), a 32.5 ounce would be 2 lines w/ one line drawn thru them...hope this helps.
