Hello! I've been working for over a month now to photo match my Adam Dunn 2006 LVS B345 bat to any and all games (especially home run games 
) and could really use some help/advice on finding more photo matches. I've done my homework and searched the internet to the best of my ability but still feel there is more out there to find (I will include some possible Getty Image matches a few posts down). The bat is MLB authenticated to being cracked and taken out of use on 5/26/06 in Cincinnati (Dunn went 3-4 with a double). I have already photo matched the bat to being used by Dunn on 5/21/06 and 5/26/06 (see pictures below).
Dunn hit 16 home runs between 4/3/06 and 5/22/06 and there are videos of him hitting 15 of those 16 home runs on the Reds' website under the section titled "Reds Top Plays Archive" in the April and May 2006 sections. The problem is that the stream quality of the videos is 350K and I would need something with higher definition to ascertain a match. After watching these videos over and over I feel confident this bat was used to hit multiple home runs, especially those hit the day before (5/20) and after (5/22) my 5/21 photo match. I emailed the Reds over a month ago about the possibility of viewing higher resolution videos and am still waiting for a response. For the record, below is a list of the games in which Adam Dunn hit home runs before my bat was broken. I have typed "VIDEO" next to the games which the site already provides a video of Dunn hitting the actual home run on that date:
