Is this a legit early Jim Thome LVS bat?

[brianborsch]

Hi all!

I hope the experts can chime in here. I picked up what appears to be an early Jim Thome LVS I13 block letter bat. My question is: is this really game issued? It has no TPX or MLB logo on the back barrell, but I think there was a time when the bats did not have that. Does it add up based on bat records and branding?

Pics will be in the next post...

From the branding it looks like a 1998 game issue in my opinion.
