Carlos Ruiz bat on eBay
Anybody see this bat? What's with that Rawlings logo ink-transfer on the barrel? That definitely doesn't come from a major league baseball:

That looks like the same light blue logo off of a Rawlings Official League Ball that you can buy at a local sporting goods store or walmart. It isnt the dark blue that a major league ball has on it. Also it is a circular rawlings logo imprint on the bat which is not on any major or minor league ball. It looks like fake use to me. It would be interesting to see if maybe the Carlos Ruiz marucci that was on ebay a couple months ago is the same as this one with added use.

The Rawlings ink trasfer is very fishy...
From the same seller, I can't remember Ivan Rodriguez EVER sporting a tape job like this:

That seller has had a few questionable items in the past. The Griffey jersey he is selling now seems a little odd to me also with the sizing and amount of use on the property tag.
Looking for: Joey Votto game used items.

I found a couple of Rawlings practice balls which have the similar "R" in a circle stamping.

Re: Carlos Ruiz bat on eBay
These practice balls are smaller than the regulation official MLB balls and are design to be used in BP. The theory being that hitting with these slightly smaller practice balls will make it easier to hit the larger MLB baseballs in game situations.
While we all know that official MLB balls are used in BP in major league ball parks, I can't help but wonder if these practice balls are loaded into the pitching machines in the batting cages ?? Perhaps this bat was used in the batting cages if that was the case.metsbats86@aol.com
