Thanks Chris,
What "proof" are you needing? Another set of eyes that witnessed this whole ordeal? If so, I got them. I have 3 bats (1 from each brand that was marked up in case this ever came about). Are old ebay items not proof?

Just be wise in purchasing game used anything from anywhere with little to no solid wear/use. A few ball marks and moto stick with the numbers written on the ends don't make a bat anywhere close to game used.

If people want my personal opinion on an item they purchased from ASI in the past, I will let you know if that item was in inventory while I was there. I can only give my opinions on jerseys post fall 2005.

Thanks Chris,

Hello Bryan,

Again, I will say up front that I have personal interest in this matter as I have never done business with ASI nor do I currently own any of their items. But, with all due respect, unless I am missing something this seems to boils down to the personal testimony of a former employee who appears to no longer be on good terms with his former employer. Further, the former employer is stating the claims of the former employee are not true.

Personally, given what you have provided, I do not have the ability to determine if what you are saying is true. However, there are channels that have been created to evaluate claims such as yours and determine if there has been any wrongdoing or breaking of the law.

With that said, I do have one simple question. If these illegal activities took place as you are claiming, why have you not gone to the legal authorities and instead try to discredit your former employer here? The former would seem to be the appropriate thing to do if what you claim is true. In fact, if what you are saying is true I would think you owe it to the collecting community to go to the authorities. I think we would all appreciate it if you could answer that question.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Is it possible to get a list of players bats who are alleged to have been doctored?

This is very concerning potentially. On a side note, I received 2 months agao an Alex Rodriguez game used bat from ASI that was used in 2003, it has a bunch of MLB ink makes on the barrel, but absolutely no ball marks that would have caused these ink marks, the barrel has the new shine to it, but a bunch of ink marks. Also, when it arrived it had sticky pine tar which is very unlikely for a bat that was used 4 years ago. Also, since I have received the bat, it has dried up and is not stick. This is interesting that it dried up in 2 months and did not dry up in the 4 years prior to my ownership.
