Neat? Ouch! This isn't good. That bat probably did and/or will make it on the market as a GAME USED Manny Ramirez Game Used bat. Yes, the bat will show game use, but not by Manny.

This is pretty scary!

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

How about Manny Ramirez wearing No. 95 (instead of his regular No. 24) against the Yankees in a Spring Training game in Tampa because his uniform was left at home.

For this reason, whenever I see a Red Sox jersey that is properly tagged but I cannot find who wore a particular number, I do not ever assume that the jersey isn't game worn/used.

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

No photos to post, but a couple of funny stories.

I had several of Jay Bell's bats, both DBacks and Pirates, for him to sign a few years back, and one of the Pirates bats had '18' written on the knob and barrel end. I asked Jay why, as I knew he'd always worn either '3' or '33', and he said, "Van Slyke". "Andy Van Slyke?" "Yeah. He used to take my bats and put his number on them." If the opportunity ever presents itself, I'd like to get Van Slyke to sign the bat, too.

I picked up a bat from a clubhouse guy down in Tucson, at the DBacks' ST facility a few years ago. Tony Womack had borrowed the team's then-First Base coach's fungo bat for bp, and had put a small crack in it, right on the label, and then returned it. So the coach took a black sharpie, and inscribed the bat, "To Tony Dickhead. Happy Fungo Hitting! Robin Yount". It's a nice sig, too, and definitely a unique inscription.
