World Series baseballs also used in BP?

[Number9]

Just curious about bats that have ink impressions from World Series baseballs on them. Does they mean the bat was definitely used in a game OR do they use the same baseballs in World Series BP?

Seems to me you can't call a bat a World Series bat, and charge for it as so, if the same balls are used in BP as you dont know if its a BP bat or a bat used in a huge game (big difference).

Anybody know if those World Series balls are used in BP as well, or just World Series games?

Thanks

I have 2 WS bats from 2000. One used in BP only and onewas used in both BP and in games.

The Matt Franco on top was only used in BP. Matt didnt use this natural WS bat during his plate appearances in the 2000 WS. The ball marks are regular season ball marks.

The Mike Bordick on the bottom was used in both BP and games he played as evidenced by both the blue ball marks and gold WS ball marks.

I'm going to to say that during BP regular season balls are used only.

Is my Matt Franco WS gamer a real "World Series" game used bat. Yes by MLB definition it is however it did not see any WS game action.

I know in Detroit in 2006 some of the BP balls were world series balls & even early in 2007 a couple world series balls were caught in BP....

Makes me reluctant to pay big money for a bat priced high due to World Series ballmarks. How do I know those aren't from BP? Seems to me there's no way to know, since tigerdale has proof of WS balls being used in BP.

All through 2006 the White Sox had 2005 World Series balls in BP.
