Asking other Twins collectors if they have ever seen Morneau use an Max bat during a game and/or have any collectors ever seen a Morneau game bat with the number 33 on the knob?

I have searched getty images back to 2004 and could not find a photo of Morneau ever using Max bat during a game or a photo of any of his bats having the number 33 on the knob in black sharpie.

I know Morneau uses bwp bats as his bat of choice. I have a blonde bwp used during the 2005 season that I recieved directly from the Twins. The knob has 34 1/2 written small in black sharpie. This is consistant with photos of Morneau gamers. I also got Morneau to sign my gamer at Best Buy in the summer of 2006, where Morneau confirm that bat was one of his gamers.

I have attached photos of my gamer and of Morneau signing the bat. I am wearing a black baseball hat in the photo. I will also attach photos of Morneau from getty images.

If anyone can provide any info as to Morneau puting his number 33 or using a Max bat in a game it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing it's a S/T bat. I know he used a Rawlings in April last year and maybe, and that's a big maybe, a LS, but I haven't seen him use a Max bat. It's definitely a 2006 because of the 33 and not a 27 in the model number, but whether a S/T, BP, or "gamer," it's tough to say. Either way, it looks like a cool bat. It just depends on how you get your kicks.

Looks like a Max bat to me??? Looks like Justin used Max Bats in early 2005 in late April. I agree with the no number, but the lack of Justin's tape job is what would scare me off
