BJ Upton Louisville Slugger T-160 M-9 Shipping Records !!!

[camarokids]

Hi There ,

I was wondering if any of the GUU experts have any info on the BJ Upton T-160 M-9 Louisville Slugger . I have not received the bat yet , I won the auction this past Monday.

I was wondering if you knew when/what season they were used and how many were made . Also who was the T-160 originally made for.

I hate to ask BMH for any help cause I know you get a lot of requests. But if you have time Brian , I would appreciate any info you can provide. Thanks in advance to all for your help.

The T160 is a T141 handle with a C243 barrel. I doing this off the top of my head since I'm in NY for Fanfest, but I do believe I made it for a Japanese player named TSAI or a company by that name, can't remember which.

Here is some better pics of the Upton bat !

Bats specs are:

Weight is just under 32 ounces (2 pounds), bat handle is taped , could add a little weight.

Length is just over 33 inches long , close to 33 1/4" ......

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much to Brian H. (BMH)!

I just received word from him that the T-160 was ordered in 2007 by BJ and only a dozen were made !

I would say that is really COOL !

I think based on this info the bat I have is VERY RARE !

I am very happy !

Thanks again Brian!

What are the chances of this ? I went to a card store today that I frequent and they have a T-160 M-9 LS just like mine....

It is for sale if anyone is interested, he wants $225.00.....

Theirs is un-cracked...

So I know when 2 of the 12 bats are....

Just wanted to let you all know.

If and when I receive word that one of the sellers Upton bats are available. The person who is first in line to get it is George.

Re: BJ Upton Louisville Slugger T-160 M-9 Shipping Records !!!

I went to the card store yesterday and what a joke ! The other Upton bat they had for sale is just a piece of crap Pro Stock Signed Upton bat. No sign of selling the un-cracked T-160 .....

On a good note I did pick up a Micah Schilling Mariucci bat. I thought he was in the Devil Rays farm system , but he is in the Mets. If anyone wants to trade or buy it LMK...

Apparently Upon has ordered this bat prior to 2007 as well. On ebay there a T-160 with BJ's #9 on the ends. BJ wore #35 and #9 during the 2004 season. He was not on the pro roster in 2005. IN 2006 he started wearing #2...... BMH told me a dozen T-160 were ordered in 2007....

Re: BJ Upton Louisville Slugger T-160 M-9 Shipping Records !!!

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

Thanks a ton for your in-put Brian!

This site is very lucky to have you as a member.

I am very appreciative of your time and effort in responding with answers that could not be obtained anywhere else on our great planet!!!!!

Did BJ order any T-160's in 2004?

If none were ordered in 2004 than that means BJ did not use the bat listed on ebay for it has #9 on it....BJ wore #9 and #35 in 2004.

Thanks again!
