Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up

[indyred]

Is there any confirmed # each player got made for themselves.....On a side note on them....I did visit Louisville Slugger factory today and seen a few pink bats on the factory floor......I guess I'll have to be happy with the retail model I got inscribed Mother's Day 2006....There is 3-4 week wait on the pink retail orders, and when mine showed up at my house it was from there NY address, so they must be doing them up there for the general public.....I go by factory/museum quite a bit and keep hoping they would be smart enough to put a few retail pink one's in the gift shop, but they haven't......I'm hoping a bunch of game issued one's surface at some point....With how popular this has become, I hope they do this every mother's day....

I see most are Texas player's. They all look pretty clean to me. I don't think Texas or Boston got to use them at even a later date.
