Photo match? Votto Game Used Bat

[Cleanupman1645]

I was wondering if anyone could help me learn how to find a photo match for a Votto game used item? I have a MLB authencated bat. FJ 485815. The authenticity says the bat was broke it a ground out but it has tons of use. I was wondering if I could tell if the bat was used the day before and if like to find a photo match of Joey using this bat?

Appreciate your help!

Getty Images is a good place to look for photos (http://www.gettyimages.com). Also If you have an MLB.tv account then you can look at the last two years of games and get screen shots. Can also ask here in the forums for help and/or services to photo match for you.

I looked at August 1, 2 and 3 and the picture I posted earlier was the best I could find. I can not tell from you picture if they are the same or not. It is not from the authenticated at bat but players use bats for several games before they break. You can look back at some of the others series that the Reds played prior to this and see if you can find positive match from one or more games.

You need to get footage from MLB.TV for the best shot at a match.

Re: Photo match? Votto Game Used Bat

MLB.tv only goes back the last two seasons, therefore no MLB.tv footage to watch. This was a game from 2011. If I'm wrong then please let me know.
