Creative bat knob decals

[helf35]

I came across this on Twitter today. Anyone know who's bag this is. Also I thought it would be interesting to post unique and creative bat knob decals or even older written ones that are unique.

If I recall Jarrod Saltalamacchia uses those stickers on his bats.

I actually just got one of these. The production date if I remember right was July of 2014, but by all accounts he only used the decals as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2015.

Mr. Mets on Matt Reynolds bat sticker.

I used to have a Todd Frazier with this knob that I wish I kept, now that MLB has banned these type of knob decals.

Creative bat knobs have been banned by MLB:

What's next? Nickname bats?:(

Matt Harvey "The Dark Knight". This is by far the coolest one I have!

[metsbats]

Keep those bats they can only go up in value since these knob decals are banned now :)

However I did see a batch of spring training bats from this year yesterday and Wilmer Flores still had his bat knob sticker with the Venezuelan flag and his number 4 on his bats. I wonder if they will still allow those flag bat knob decals. X bats applied country flags on player bats.

I had on today's spring training game Cubs vs. Giants on the MLB channel and while Matt Duffy came to bat, the Cub's announcer mentioned Matt Duffy was not allowed to have his signature Duff Beer knob sticker anymore, that MLB won't allow custom knob stickers going forward. Is this true?

[carbonrosa]

Just went back to the Cubs vs Giants Spring training game and after Matt Duffy's 8th inning at-bat, Len Kasper said that starting this year MLB has banned custom graphics on bats which includes personal bat knob stickers. Unbelievable. Collect them while you can!!!!

[TBM]

Yes it's true. MLB has banned personalized bat knob decals. They can use generic team decals with player number though.

I am so glad that I got this Kolten Wong bat last year. I saw a photo of Kolten using a bat with the sticker during batting practice. I was hoping to see it during the regular season, but that won't happen now.

I called bat manufacture, and they told me that the equipment managers are the ones that order and install them.

[STLCardinalscollector]

Just my opinion, but it seems like MLB is kinda getting down in the weeds on this issue. I think they are pretty cool and I like the creativity that some are using.
Personally I would rather see MLB enforce uniform policy, mainly players that wear their hat off to one side.

Yeah...this sounds like some of the asinine edicts the No Fun League hands down.

It sounds like MLB reversed their decision, and personalized bat knob decals are again allowed!

Manny Machado has a nice customer knob sticker for this season.

Knob stickers from two of my Arenado gamers...

[TigersCubs84]

Those Arenado's are nice! I have a MILB bat of his, definitely need to pick up a Major.

:) Adam Eaton. This is the first I have seen for him. All to date have been Sox logo with 1. Wonder if this was from the 4th of July game.

[Wrigley2010]

I'm guessing MLB has taken a relaxed stance on the bat knob decal standardization? I saw this while watching the Yankees at Red Sox game yesteday. I have to admit, at first I thought Travis Shaw might have a clause in his contract to have every April 20th off and a no trade clause to every team except for the Rockies and Mariners ;) The strange part is that while Shaw is from Ohio he went to Kent State and not Ohio State. I wonder how his fellow Alumni feel about him repping the Buckeyes??

[sek122482]

Got this bat from Yonder Alonso at A's spring training. I guess he is still using them during spring training. Are they still banned by MLB?

[memorabiliaunlimited]

yes - ban lifted, apparently pretty quickly.
