I stand Corrected , I just checked the 2006 Devil Rays Media Guide and BJ was #9 in 2006 Spring Training. During the regular Season he went to #2.

Just another reason why it so important to have Media Guides.....

The bat listed on ebay is a 2006 Spring Training bat , but still nice.....

Hey Gyro123,
I was emailed an offer for a un-cracked Upton bat. I forwarded the sellers email to you.

Yes, a dozen of them were ordered in 2007. Eighteen were ordered in 2006 during ST.

Brian,
I was wondering if you could tell me if the 2007 order had "Tampa Bay Rays" under the name rather than Tampa Bay Devil Rays". If not was there a subsequent order in 2008? There was a recent eBay auction for a B. J. Upton T160 (item #130329882375) that had the new team name on the bat.

Thanks in advance for your help.

They would have to be a new order. 2008 they started having Rays only...

I forgot to mention, 2008 was the first year Louisville Slugger put Tampa Bay Rays only.

However, briefly in 2001 Rawlings and Easton put only "Rays" on their bats when they were expecting a name change from "Devil Rays". But it never officially happened till 2008. That is when LS started doing so......

Thanks David. I'm now curious as to the total number of T160s that were produced for B.J. Upton including both team name variations. The 2006 and 2007 orders that Brian mentioned would have had the "Tampa Bay Devil Rays" notation. However, apparently there were additional orders after that with the "Tampa Bay Rays" designation.

You're welcome.

It would be nice to know how many have been made since 2008.

Brian do you have an answer? Please....

Currently there is a Upton U-45 LS on eBay. Seller has it listed with a BIN of $795.00 OBO.

A T-160 just sold for $142.99 (MLB authenticated). His bats seem to sell right around that mark......
