I paused the game during a close-up of him at bat Saturday and he was swinging what appeared to be a vintage H&B bat. It had the Hillerich & Bradsby center brand, I couldn't make out the signature on the barrel. There was only "Genuine" stamped above the signature.
I can't find a picture of him from saturday or sunday, but if you watch this sac fly video, he's swinging it.
I thought I remembered Brian posting once that even if a player requested the old label, they would not do it. Maybe I read it wrong, and he posted they would do it. Hmm.......
Anyway, as Nnunnari posted before, not only is it the old lablel; but the model number isn't on the barrel either.
Any chance Josh got his hands on an used bat from the 70's and thought he'd try it? Is that against the rules?
Whose signature is on the bat? Anyone familar with Hamilton's sig?
I can't wait to see Brian's take on this bat.

Always looking for game used bats from Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Jody Davis, Shawon Dunston, Jerome Walton, Rick Sutcliffe, and Greg Maddux. Preferably CUBS era bats.

It looks like he picked up an old bat (maybe one of the coach's bats from their playing days) and loved the feel of it and went ahead and used it. I wonder if this is allowed by MLB?
I noticed right away that his bat appeared to have a vintage look to it.
I cant wait to hear the results of this one... if you watch his at bats the bat totally has the vintage look to it... the pictures I captured dont do it justice
