Jeff Francoeur Game Used Bats

[dwolfe12345]

I'm just curious to see if anyone out there has any of the Jeff Francoeur "weird inscription" bats. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about if you own one. If not, early in his career he would have bat boys write inscriptions on the end of his bats so he would know the difference between game used and batting practice bats. If you have pics please post, if you have seen any expressions, please post just to get a running list.
I've seen the following:
OJ is guilty
Michael Bolton
When in Rome
Muff Diver

Does anyone have the Muff Diver inscription, I think this is hilarious.

I have two but both have sharpie over the saying or at least part of the saying. One was sharpied out but I can still read it said Brian and Me. The other says Balls Deep but had another word sharpied out. There are two that the Braves had last year. Slump Buster and Velvet and Peanut Butter.

Do you think the team, or somebody else, black them out before reselling them due to the content? haha.

It is a possibility, but Balls Deep wasn't sharpied out and Brian and Me was

Re: Jeff Francoeur Game Used Bats

I wonder if your Brian and Me bat was used by both Francoeur and McCann?

Slump Buster

Man, that just never gets old. Still as funny to me today as the first time. Thank you Mark Grace, wherever you are. A greatful baseball fan salutes you!

Re: Jeff Francoeur Game Used Bats

I doubt it, McCann rarely uses blonde bats and even les frequently uses other players bats. By the way the the Francoeur bats are O69 models

He has been pretty good since coming over to the AL.

Re: Jeff Francoeur Game Used Bats

I have the "OJ is guilty' one on ebay. I also had "Double Trouble" and "When in Rome" but sold them awhile ago.


When you watched games you could always clearly see he had a lot written on the knobs but it was impossible to read them on TV, at least my TV.


Once he started slumping really badly, he started experimenting with other bats, from teammates etc, and that is when the inscriptions stopped, he was desperately trying so many different bats, no more time for funny things on the knob.

As a Braves fan I still like the guy, he played hard and is a class act.

At bat, can't read it though.

Re: Jeff Francoeur Game Used Bats

This one was for sale while ago but I passed on it after I did a yahoo search and found out the meaning. Something about old me having sex. I imagine the bat boys did this as a joke and Jeff never knew what it meant.
