Posada 1997 bat

[jetersbatboy]

Is anyone familiar with this era of bat, what model did he use, did he tape his bat at this time, patterns of pine tar and number marking on the ends of his bats number 15 in particular.... these are just questions!!!!!!!!!

Jetersbatboy I can tell you Posada has always used a Louisville SLugger I woud have to get back to you later on the actual model. He has mostly taped and pine tarred his bat ever since the minors. Posada has hardly ever (I am not saying never) I am just saying I don't remember him ever marking the knobs of his bats and I doubt he would put #15 since he was never #15, unless he did it for some other reason. During 97 Posadas numbers were #22 and #20

He's used a M356 since 1997. The P320 is a M356 with a different number.

scott, i think that jorge did number his bats early in his career. he changed numbers a few times (#55 in '96 and #22 & #20 in '97) so he had to keep track of his bats somehow. but unless he learned from mattingly and used yankee legends to number his bats, #15 doesnt make sense on a posada gamer. i've only seen 1 or 2 what were advertised as posada rookie gamers and there was no tape. hope this helps, chris

Just this week on the Mets Classic games. they showed a 1999 game against the Yankees and Posada was using a black Mizuno. That's the only time I have ever seen him using anything other than the black or unfinished natural Louisville Sluggers. I couldn't tell whether he had it taped up "Posada style" though.
