The seller is advertising this as a game issued bat from Evan's 2008 rookie season, however the signature on the nameplate wasn't used until 2009. I'm not even sure it is game issued as it may not have the date/length/weight stamped under the knob (which was a practice also started in 2009).

The odds are it is one of those Longoria bats that are pro quality, but are made for the public to buy and use in their public leagues etc.

Waiting to hear back on if anything is stamped under the knob...
