The Manny bat pictured in the ebay auction is a D-bat, which is a different company from Diablo bats.

I have not seen any photos of Manny using a D-bat. Looking at the barrel photo on the ebay auction there appears to be a lot of cleat marks on the barrel which is not a Manny game used trait. Looks like someone other then Manny used this bat.

I am almost positive that no D-Bats were used in a 2007 or 2008 game as claimed in the listing, but there is a chance it was used in BP or maybe spring training.

The weight and handle tape looks correct, though I have never seen cleat marks like that on a Manny bat. Hard to tell from the photo whether the pine tar is correct, but it might be.
