Saw this on eBay and at 1st glance I liked the tape job, barrel markings, and that it was a blonde LS (not his typical SAM, but OK)---then I saw the pine tar which didn't look like a typical pine tar application by AS and then on the knob it had #13----problem is Alfonso was #12 with the Nationals. Robin Fick was #13.
Here is the seller's explanation:
Before all of you experts start emailing me to let me know that Soriano's uniform number is 12, I would like to point out that many star players often put a different number on their equipment to keep it from being stolen.

I have handled dozens of Alfonso's game used bats and they all have the exact black sharpie 12 on the knob except for one which is a Texas Rangers Soriano LS bat and has a different jersey # on it too, and I never thought of the "alternate # theory" to keep it from being stolen.
