Was watching tv today and noticed that Mark Trumbo was using a bat with a MLB hologram on the knob. Do players do this? Why would he be using a bat already authenticated to some previous game/event?

Re: Players using MLB Authenticated items
If items are tied to a specific milestone in a players career or some sort of team record they broke often times they'll authenticate items to the event but bats are something players can be very picky about so often times they don't want a gamer taken out so they'll continue to use it until it Breaks. That way they can keep using their gamer but the bat is also authenticated so if the team keeps it they know it's the bat that was used for the particular milestone. -

Re: Players using MLB Authenticated items
Lets just get to the inevitable conclusion. Put bar codes on all bats, each bat is scanned before use and the life of the bat is tracked using that bar code until its taken out of service. When a collector buys a bat they can then enter that bar code and see everything that bat has ever done.Comment
