Got this beauty last night at Dodgers/Nationals game with some BIG help from Andrew Lang and his knack for pulling together quick deals. I was close to losing it while waiting to see if landing this bat was a real possibility. Bat is directly through Manny's people and shows nice use with lots of fresh tar and '99' on knob. Best guess is it was swung during BP and dropped from circulation as BMH explained below. Doesn't get much better than this for me with 125th anniversary logo, Los Angeles Dodgers mention, uncracked with nice use, etc... pretty cool to have 1 of the only I13's Manny has ever requested!
Made on 8/26/09. He wanted I13's even though he's never used them before. I said we should make him some S318's instead. Our head rep said he requested I13's so that is what we made. Our head rep and one of my workers dropped them off in Cinci to Manny. First thing out of Manny's mouth is they were too end heavy...what a waste of good timber.
