My Marucci bat has the date on the knob, wt. and length and the players number.

I thought most had the date stamped on the knob in some fashion...

hmmm..a #5 marucci thats 34" and 31.9oz...wonder whose bat that could be.

I think they might not have put dates on some of the earliest models, probably when Howard and Pujols first started ordering.

Joel,
Your Pujols "Frankenbat" was discussed here: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ghlight=pujols

and here:

The barrel is from 2008 and the handle is from 2007, or vice versa.

I know its a Marucci. I called a Frankenbat because that is how Jeff Scott referred to it. As in Frankenstein. Your seller took a handle from one bat and glued it to a barrel from another.

And I was incorrect. The barrel is from 2009 and the handle is from 2008.

Re: Dating Marucci Bats

The knob in the original post here is not from the 'frankenbat.' This bat has no date on the knob, while the frankenbat one specifically DID have a date (thus it was so easy to tell that the handle was from 2008 but the barrel--with the ink dot--was from 2009).

Gotcha.

I did not buy that bat but am interesting in knowing how to date Marucci Bats. I discovered I know almost nothing about bats except for LVS.

Theres no way I can afford to add a new player to my collection, especially Pujol.

I do however enjoy reading those Pujol threads tonight and could not resist.

Hopefully people didnt seriously think I bought that bat. I wonder what happen to it.

Thanks for the information. So does every Marucci always have a date on the knob or was this something established later in its production.

That Frankenstein Bat beats the cake. Never laughed so much when I saw the creation.

I want to say yes, but I am not 100% sure.
