Josh Hamilton has been using a bat in some of his games that I can't identify. It is a black bat with a gold circle or half circle on the barrel. Its one I am not familiar with. I know he has also used an Old Hickory and a Louisville Slugger this year. If anyone knows what this bat is I'd appreciate the information. Thanks.

I believe you are refering to the new logo for Controlling the Game. If you go to MLB auctions and look under the New York Mets symbol, you will see Carlos Beltran is also using this brand of bat.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Thanks for the information Anthony. I checked the mlb auction and they had a Beltran bat, but didn't identify the brand. In the past didn't Controlling the Game have a CTG symbol? Is the circle on the Beltran bat what they are using now?

Here is a pic of my David Murphy bat, was it this logo?

The bat he was using was black and had what appeared to be either a solid gold circle or maybe half circle. Unlike the Murphy bat it appeared to be solid gold. It was not a Louisville Slugger or Old Hickory. By the way, what kind of bat is your Murphy bat?

Yes, they have changed their label. If you zoom in on the barrell pic you can see it says "Controlling The Game - Carlos Beltran"

Thanks,

Is this the bat?

Game Used Bats is correct, its Controlling The Game. The logo matches the Beltran bat.
