My Pujols / Tino bat...Poll
My Pujols/Tino Martinez game used bat has stirred people in two threads I posted, most recently "favorite game used bats"...
I am 100% certain I have a photomatch, but I thought I would ask others...
fyi... the bat is cupped, just hard to take a photo at the same angle
please participate in the pollBert

Bert,
At first i thought it was not a match. But after seeing the two red lines but by the name brand match up on your bat and the bat in the photo, i would say they are a match.

Re: My Pujols / Tino bat...Poll
Am I missing something, isn't one bat cupped and the other one is not??? Wouldn't that mean different bats?

Look at the tar on the lower handle by his top hand, its not on Berts bat.

both bats are cupped... tough to take a picture at the same angle

my bat does show more use than the pic... lending me to believe the bat was used for a while longer... but there are too many distinct marks for me not to be totally convincedBert

In my opinion, the different angles of the photos are making the match tougher to see. To me, it's an absolute match. No way it can have that many marks in the same places and it be a coincidence.

Re: My Pujols / Tino bat...Poll
I think the difference in angle and light, plus the lower resolution of the game photos, are throwing some people off.
There's no way patterns that similar could appear in that many locations without the bats being a dead-on match.
Ring the bell on it, it's a match.
