It does to me. I just went through Getty images and he is using the same style of bat throughout most of 2006.

I don't think that it is real because most sam bats are engraved with the demensions, and this one is written with sharpie. Manny G

Re: Travis Hafner Bat Opinion Needed
None of my SAM bats have engraved cups. All are hand written.

Re: Travis Hafner Bat Opinion Needed
This Hafner Sam looks good to me as well and typical of several Hafner Sam gamers I've seen. My Hafner Sam gamer has a shallow cup in the end with the typical Sam detail in black marker as this one. From what I've noticed Hafner uses a decent but not sloppy amount of pine tar with a good coating near the center brand and lace impressions are usually pretty prominent on the right side of the barrel (except for the past two seasons when he hasn't hit much of ANYTHING!).
I'm also only familiar with the detail on the end of Sam bats being written in black marker and have never seen them engraved.
