Re: Roberto Clemente Bat
Never. I'd like to see some forensic evidence. The leap seems tenuous in my opinion.

I disagree. This stuff happens a lot more than you think, even today. As for the Clemente using Alou I would bet he did on occasion or used one bat of his till it cracked. Absolutely.Comment

has anyone seen a similar attribution to a HOF player using a teammate's bat?

Re: Roberto Clemente Bat
Originally posted by sox83cubs84I once, many moons ago, owned a 1985 Rawlings/Adirondack Davey Lopes bat that was used by Ryne Sandberg, but the hand-inscribed numbers on the knob were much clearer and more identifiable than this instance. Still, being a U1 (a popular Clemente model), while not ironclad, by any means, it could be possible.

does anyone know if other provinence documentation such as where it came from goes into their conclusions or is the conclusions based on the bad standing on its own merits.Regards,

Re: Roberto Clemente Bat
When an major authenticator uses statements like 'we conclude that', I would prefer to see it backed up with facts, not educated guesses i.e there's a big difference between a conclusion and an opinion. State it as an opinion, even an informed opinion, and no harm no foul.
That said, if you're confortable with the authentication report, and you like the item, that's what matters. I don't take issue with the bat, only the way it was dealt with by the authenticator.

Re: Roberto Clemente Bat
I'm sure the wording has to do with liability, someone's conclusion and opinion as far to the authenticity of an item are basically the same thing. It's probably just so if the item is somehow deemed unauthentic, no one can sue them. RicardoRicardo Montoya
