Looks like McGwire still has some of his old bats laying around.

The caption says that the bat is from 2001 but I don't see anything stamped on the knob denoting what year it was made.

Well I wonder how many of these he has laying around and if so how many will eventually end up on the Market as Game Used fro his playing days???:eek:

That bat likely was manufactured in 1998, after the season. Bill Steele at Rawlings told me they made some bats for Mark that fall/winter that had MAC 25 but no batch number. Note that the barrel uses the 1998 font for Mark's name. After '98, the font changed.
