Brewers Experts Please Chime In ... Fielder Bat

[flota89]

What does everyone think of this Fielder bat?

Why does the printing on the name look different?

Other than that (which may be nothing), it looks good.

I don't profess to be a Fielder bat expert, but 2 things caught my eye when I looked at the bat:

1) the model number (RW23) seems linked to Rickie Weeks, although I have no idea if Fielder used Weeks' model at any time or not...Jamie or one of the other Brewers bat specialists could help on that.

2 I find it odd that the PRINCE FIELDER 28 print looks so pristine and clear while the RIDEAU CRUSHER notation beneath it is so worn.

Again, I am not saying this from a third-party authenticator's point of view...legitimate reasons may exist for one or both of my concerns. I am just pointing out what caught my eye.

the name was added after use. the "28" on the knob looks consistant with others i have seen. personally id wait for a better example.

I've seen a couple of these Fielder bats like this one on Ebay before. I never seen one in person but it's looks good to me. Prince was well known for using Weeks bats during this time period. I would wait and find one of his Hoosier bats from this season.
