Can someone please post any stills to photomatch my Rene Tosoni bat used on May 4, 2011?

Also, I would like to see if it was used in the previous game, May 3rd... Liriano's no-no. I am really hoping that this is the case, since it'd be cool to have something from a historic game like that.

The bat is a blonde Xbat, red ring on the area between the handle and the barrel. It is actually a leftover Brendan Harris model bat.

Once stills are posted I will post some photomatches.

Thanks!!

Here's 1st at bat, 5-4-11, hope this helps. I don't have the time to do all 4 at bats and 5/3 at bats today. Might this weekend, or next week.

No worries at all. I appreciate the help. I'm still holding off hope that he used it in the no-no.

After much hardwork by Billy, I can say that the MLB authenticated bat does not even appear in the game it was said to be authenticated to. Now to make a call to the Twins and see where I can go from here. In each at bat on 5/4/11, Tosoni is using a blonde Louisville Slugger, based on the very noticeable imprints on the bat. My bat is a blonde Xbat, withe a little red ring and a large red X in the name of "Xbats".

Thank you, Billy!!

Is this the bat?

Based on the markings near the handle, yes, yes it is. Do you know if Alexi used this same bat the night before at all? I am really hoping that it can be traced back to the no-no.

Still weird that it was Authenticated as Rene Tosoni, though Brendan Harris was #23, and there were remnants of a "23" sticker on the end of the bat. Wonder if that swayed the authenticator into believing it was Renene Tosoni's, who was currently #23 for the Twins.

Here is a photo of the bat and screen-shot of the MLB Authentication.

Oh well, it was worth a shot. Now to sort out the mess of the incorrect MLB authentication.

Thank you to Dach0sen0ne and Billy for all of their help!

I'll keep you guys posted as to what happens with the bat/authentication.
