Chase Utley - Keeping it classy

[cekirsch129]

Has anyone else seen this bat listed? Is this a common trait on Utley's bats? I'm not someone that gets easily offended, but I don't particularly find it funny either. I do have to say, if I collected Phillies/ Utley memorabilia, I would be intrigued to buy it, just for the conversation.

According to JT...

"The unique feature of the bat is the stamping of ‘F_ _ k You’ on the handle. Obviously a factory stamp, we contacted Marucci, got a chuckle and was told someone apparently was playing a joke on Chase. Whatever the case this bat is emblazoned with stamping we will likely never see again."

Lol wow, if that's the case I bet someone will scoop this up pretty quickly. Where are all the Utley collectors?

That bat gave me a great chuckle. However, it doesn't fit into my collection, so I won't be purchasing it.

If it was uncracked I would have considered it. Still a cool bat!

This bat is amazing, the price for it however is not. Especially considering that his 09 NLCS bat sold on the same site addy ago for only $800. Otherwise I would have already bought it

I wonder if it was the Amish people that craft the bats pulled this prank

I just picked up an issued Utley F-U bat, so the one Taube had isn't the only one.

Re: Chase Utley - Keeping it classy

Yeah, Taube's bat was from 2013. Your is from last year. Maybe they get him every year?
