Sabathia Bats - M356

[mattmueller]

Could anybody please provide ship dates of CC Sabathia Milwaukee Brewer bats? Specifically blonde M356s? Also, what other models / finishes did he have ordered w/ Brewer markings? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks,
Matt

June 2007: 12 M356's

Oct. 2007: 48 F160's

Brian - could you please verify the information you provided? I assume you meant June and October 2008, not 2007. If so, the Brewers traded for Sabathia on July 7, 2008, so a June order would seem weird.

Just to clarify, looking for dates of shipment of Brewer bats. Also, any further details on finishes on the models would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Matt

You are correct, it was 2008 and July.

Thanks Brian. Were the M356s all natural / blonde, all the same size? Any further details available on the F160s?

Thanks,
Matt

They were all the same color as the one you have.

Brian - Unless you sent me an early birthday present I don't know about, the color of the one that I have would be invisible, I don't own one. As is so many times suggested by members here, I am trying to do some research in an effort perhaps make a purchase. Emphasis on trying....

So, do I read through the cyptic responses to date and infer that all 12 M356s were natural finish and all 48 of the F160s black? That would make me believe that all black bats he would have used before some date in October 2008 were other players' bats? Further, that any bat, natural or otherwise, he used before some date in July of 2008 were also another player's bat? Why do I feel like I am in a Scooby Doo episode?

As always, thanks.
