Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up
......the fine print:
"*Game-used encompases batting practice and/or the game itself."
I guess MLB has finally defined "game use" for us.

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up
I am starting to question MLB'A authentication process as we all hold are higest regards to MLB as I did also thinking to ourselves of all orginaztions that will not try to pull a wool over our eyes or pass something off bcuz it has the potential of being Game Used instead of it actually being Game Used it shows that there process is not as secure as we thought.
My reason for making this comment I have another item that was MLB authenticated. Sold to me as Game Used and the item does not show one drop of use on it anywhere. I am in the middle of the process right now of having them re-look at the item and make a judgement call to either refund my money or replace it for something else.
So now in my eyes these are 2 incidents of possible misleading!!!Comment

Bulbus thats an interesting statement you made i wasnt particularly paying attention to AROD ( as i cant stand him and think hes over rated ) but from memory i dont remember him using his either.Comment

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up
What is the big deal? MLB clearly states that game used can be used in batting practice. They are not looking to pull a fast one on anyone, so stop wasting your time complaining because their description is clear as day and honest.
If you don't like it, buy from someone you like but stop pointing fingers at what appears to be a legitimate operation.Comment

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up
Hi, Suave...
I understand your concern ... many hobbyists don't consider "game used" to include used equipment that never made it into a real game. However, the fact that it was stated that, in these auctions, game used includes batting-practice-used items is important and clarifying information that many sellers neglect to include in their auctions for BP-used items. Perhaps it would be even clearer if the titles distinguished the BP items from the "game used" items (and perhaps that is what you had in mind), but the auctions do make the clarification and they are welcome to define the term game used as they like.
They seem like some pretty cool bats to me.
Best of luck if you decide to bid.

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up
Hello Mr. Suave:
Can't you stand ARod because in the big games he pulls a bigger disappearing act than Harry Houdini? There is a picture of Alex in the dictionary of terminology if there is such a thing, under the term disappears in the clutch. Alex is like the Anti-James Worthy. Big game James was about as clutch as anyone could be in the Playoffs, Alex is about as disappointing as anyone can be in the playoffs.Brett Herman

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up
MrMiracle i couldnt have said it any better. I find it a bit amazing how people swoon over him and yet he produces when its not needed if were up in a game by 20 runs he hits 3 home runs to add to it, but if were down by one run and anyone including my grand mother could be on base he strikes out, MAYBE THATS IT ILL TELL MY GRANDMOTHER TO STOP RUNNING ON TO THE FIELD. LOL LOL LOL
NorrisTrophy I think you ttoally missed my whole comment i was not just referring too the pink bats i am also referring to the bat I bought as Game Used and ( IT DOESNT HAVE A MARK ON IT AT ALL, NOT EVEN FROM BATTING PRACTICE ). I can live with the whole GAME USED/BATTING PRACTICE THING. I cant live with not a mark of a ball anywhere and it being considered GAME USED.
As far as the other persons comment I find it amzing how they repeatedly announce that they cannot see mt threads and put me on some kind of ignore option yet they know I started the post and always make reply comments to my posts that I leave. This guy must be alling Dionne Warwick and her pshyhic friends.
OH YEAH I BELIVE THAT PERSON WAS WARNED NOT TO TALK TO ME!!!
I said it before and Ill say it again I choose not to speak with people who are just looking to start a fight and not let others speak freely.
My last statement was not for MrMiracle or NorrisTrophyComment

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up
One thing you have to keep in mind and Joel and Reid alluded to it is that the charities will not get involved in sematics such as the BP vs GU type of issues...they have stacks of bats attributed to players and they are going to lump them together. They are only concerned with (and rightfully so) making sure that the money collected goes to the right place. They will leave everything else up to the buyer. Would collectors like to see these types of issues more clearly defined, certainly...but I cannot fault these groups as they are obviously not intending to mislead. Like I said, the NHL carried it out in the same manner and if you watched the games of the teams/players you intended to bid on, you made a note of who showed up during the games themselves donning a piece of pink equipment.Comment

I trust your comments were not directed to me. I understand and share your concern, actually. My point was only that at least the auctions stated what they meant by "game used." But I get your larger point and I believe it is a concern shared by many in the hobby.
