Well i finally have a Brewers bat that is nicely photomatched and here it is. I got the bat from a forum member when i visited Milwuakee for game 3 of the NLDS. I had no idea at the time it could be matched to so many games. The MLB holo database had the bat as being cracked on May 20th vs pitt so i figured since the bat had so much use that it may have been used in games before this. I contacted Kyle Hess (photomatch expert) and asked him if he would compile screen shorts and other pictures. He just e-mailed me the finished matches and video of braun breaking the bat. Here are Braun's numbers while using the bat.
May 13- braun started using bat but its not clear what inning
May 14- 0-4
May 15- braun used 2 bats during this game one being lvs which he broke. He then used this sam bat to hit a solo HR in the 8th inning.
May 17-
Game 1 DH- 3/5 solo HR off Papelbon
Game 2 DH- 0-5
May 18- 2-4, 2HR, 4 RBI
May 20- 1-1 broken bat RBI single in the 1st inning
Overall that i know of- 7-20, 4 HR, 7 RBI
Here are the different photomatches from the games.
