Help Photo Matching a bat

[MyOhMy0534]

Hey guys i was wondering if one of you would take the time to photo match my Brad Miller bat that i purchased, i was wondering if someone could find me a photo of him breaking the bat, and possibly one of him holding it, also brad had a two homer game the day before, so possibly this is the bat he used then, so i was wondering if someone could match it to the bat he used to hit the home runs, i took a picture of the only noticeable markings on the bat,(smudge on Old Hickory Logo and blue mark to right of it) if someone could give me a hand it would mean a lot thanks!

I would but for some reason I can't watch older games since about 2 weeks ago on my iPad. Anyone know why?

Tanner, On the Mariners website I looked at the video from the game when Miller hit his 2 HR and here is a screengrab from just before he hit the 1st HR. There is no mark on the K in Hickory in this shot. Maybe the bat was marked after the at bat but...

Here you go!!

1st At Bat: Strike (no swing)
2nd At Bat: Ball
3rd At Bat: Ball
4th At Bat: Strike (Foul Tip)
5th At Bat: Strike (Foul Tip)
6th At Bat: Foul Tip

It was after the 4th at bat, the mark showed up on the bat.

These pics have clear identifiable marks, so you should easily match this bat with more than one mark.

* The picture with two arrows, you can see those marks well.

* The picture with three arrows, you can also see those marks well. At the bottom, near the knob, you can see what looks like a chip in the bat handle.

* The picture with the one mark, clearly matches the mark on your bat.

Congrats on the photomatch!!

I think the smudge on the logo happened on the 7th pitch, when he popped up to first base for an out. It wasn't there during his 6th at bat.

MLB.TV Archives isn't working right now, but I think its safe to say that he didn't use your bat on August 13, 2013 when he hit the 2 HR's.

Your bat, which he used on August 14, 2013 was way to clean. I would think if used it on August 13 (2-5 with 2 HR's), and then on August 14, there would definately be some type of marks on the bat. However, when MLB.TV come back online, I will check for you.

Here is one from the Top 4th Inning of August 13, 2013 that maybe you could compare to your bat. Program freezes up sometimes, but I'll keep looking.

When I find photo matches, I like them to be without a doubt. I wouldn't depend on just one mark that kinda looks like it. I'll keep checking.
