Hi Brian-

LFC had the Butler bat on Ebay on a 20 day auction, or along those lines, for a BIN of about $245. Im almost certain no one bought it. Call them and see if they still have it, Im sure they do. It was a pretty nice bat.

I think you mean BPH(the same co I got the Gordon bat from). I actually bought that bat awhile back because it was thought to be uncracked, but it actually had a very slight crack in it, so I returned it. It is a very nice bat though.

Hmm, maybe you're right. Sorry about that Brian.

[brianborsch]

Not a deal at all. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on a great bat. I am bummed someone bought that other Gordon gamer. Although I can't afford it at $500+. Gordon stuff is hard to come by.

Did Gordon ever wear #4? I saw that number written on the knob, but he is wearing #7 on the photo in the thread. Is it possible someone else used it?

[ndevlin]

Yep! He wore #7 last year. This year he wears #4 and Ross Gload wears #7

That's interesting. The only person I remember wearing 4 recently for the Royals was Angel Berroa, but I know for a fact that isn't the way Angel writes his "4"

From Getty (duh)...

Yup, Gordon switched to #4 this year (its the number he has worn in college, highschool, etc.). So the bat is certainly from 2008. It must have seen very limited use if any as he is always seen in pics with the M9's.
