BLEM stamp on bat

[braylenMV7]

What does a BLEM stamp mean? Im assuming it means something is wrong with the bat. I have a mcgwire bat that has tons of use on it but it stamped BLEM beside his engraved name. Thanks in advance. Just curious.

BLEM stands for blemish. Your correct there must be something wrong with the bat and that's why it's stamped that way.

Is the BLEM reversed? If so, that means it's a batting practice bat. I've seen one other Mac bat with a reversed BLEM on it. The Cards used some balls for BP that were not up to MLB standards -- they were stamped BLEM. When Mac connected with one of those balls in BP, the ink would transfer to the bat.
