Hello- I was thinking about bidding on this bat, but I can't find any pics of Ivan using it. It has an MLB holo that says it's from June 29, 2008. Can anyone help me in finding a pic of Pudge using this bat. Your help is greatly appreciated. thank you, Ricardo

Re: Ivan Rodriguez Photomatch help!!
I checked everywhere I could think of and I can't find photos from that game or even the game before. So I checked photos from games and agames before that and I couldn't find any of him using a bat with a taped handle.
That is a very interesting bat as I have never seen a Pudge with a taped handle.Comment

Re: Ivan Rodriguez Photomatch help!!
He taped his handles like this very early on in his career, but it wasn't a constant thing. I've seen alot of recent Pudge bats though (including the 5 that I own) and have never seen this tape pattern used on them.
Also, I looked up the boxscore for that game and Pudge didn't play in it. Maybe someone else grabbed his bat for a few innings.Comment

Ok thanks guys, I think I'll stay away from this one. It caught my eye because it was so unique, but because I couldn't find a pic of him using one with that tape job, perhaps it's "too unique" thanks again, RicardoRicardo Montoya

Re: Ivan Rodriguez Photomatch help!!
Just for reference, here's a shot of one of his older tape jobs, looks similar.
But like I said, I have not seen any recently (especially from the Tigers era) where he taped them like that. He does a little 1-2" tape wrap just above the knob, but that seems to be about it.Comment

Re: Ivan Rodriguez Photomatch help!!
Just my opinion, but that bat in question looks like it was taped by someone who had never taped a bat. I think a player would be too embarrased to take that out of a bat rack. I've got several taped bat of Cordova that are similar to the reference bat in this last post and that is much more like it. They are always consistent too.Comment

Re: Ivan Rodriguez Photomatch help!!
Marc Himelstein had a boat-load of Pudge's bats when Pudge played for the Tigers (marc.himelstein@detroittigers.com) - it might be worth an email to see if he still has some if you are interested in a Pudge Tigers bat. His prices were high, as I remember, so he may not have sold them all.Always looking for top NBA game worn items of superstar and Hall-of-Fame-caliber players (especially Kobe, LeBron, MJ, Curry and Durant). Also looking for game worn items of all players from special events (e.g., All Star Game, NBA Finals, milestone games, etc.). Please contact me at gameusedequip2@hotmail.com. Thank you.Comment
