I just got off the phone with a friend of mine that has close contact with a lot of players. I told her about my Jeff Francoeur bat and how he used to put random sayings on the knob, so my friend asked another friend of hers to check with Francoeur to see what he knows, so she asked him the other day in Kansas City. He said that the "clubhouse guy" would put the sayings on the knob. I know everyone always assumed it was the batboy's, but I think Francoeur is referring to Bill Acree, the equipment manager, as the "clubhouse guy". I can't be 100% certain though.
Also, as some of you may know, Francoeur's bats stopped showing up on the market with those sayings around 2008. Francoeur had said that he stopped because his mother saw one of his bats that said something about "Big Cox/Cocks" and his mom actually wanted him to stop, so he did.
These Francoeur bats are fun to collect so hopefully this is helpful knowledge to those that own a Francoeur bat with a saying on the knob.
