Possible Photomatch

[Mat2786@aol.com]

Hey Guys,

I just got this Ryan Howard game used 2009 bat. I saw a distinct mark on the handle of the bat its a brown circle, it isn't pine tar its in the wood. I thought this might help to photo match the bat. I found a couple photos of him using what I believe to be this bat in spring training, what do you think?

Matt,

Nice Ryan Howard bat. That ink dot it common on all 09 maple bats, I think its used to test the grain, per new 2009 MLB bat rules.

Yep, it's on all the Marucci maples, and I think all maples period. You use it to photomatch unless you had some super close photo that shows a distinct shape to the mark which is probably impossible to find. Ricardo
