The bat was broken in the bottom of the 1st inning. Only 1 close-up was shown of milledge before breaking it.

Wouldn't it be cool if he used that bat for Opening Night on March 30th!!!! Also he hit a HR on March 31st.

Here's his game log:

Kyle -I saw a photo of the 1st inning break, and I dont think its the same bat. Did you check the whole game?

The 1st inning break looks much more severe, bat bent at a 90 degree angle. My bat is cracked for sure but I dont think it could have been cracked that badly and put back into shape.

Also, the 1st inning crack looks to be higher towards the centerbrand than my crack.

Upon further review...

I think you found it! I looked again and again and I can now match up 3 spots on the bat that match the photo! Great job Kyle!
