Hanley Ramirez Game Bat *have you seen this?*

[BayAreaVII]

I have a game used Hanley Ramirez bat, Blond LVS M9 model R219. The thing about it, the markings on the knob and the barrel only have his trademark 2, but no H or R. Does anyone know when he started using the "H2R"? The bat is from Rich Altman's Hollywood Collectibles, and is signed "Hanley Ramirez game used 06 2006 NL ROY". Please let me know. Thanks

I cant help you with the ,when ,he used H2R but if the bat is from Rich Altman you can rest assured its one of his. He had a working relationship with Hanley for a while,he may still have it.Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I didn't question its authenticity, but I have not seen any other R219's or any without the H2R on the knob. Might that affect the value at all, being a bit rare?
