What's your favorite game used bat?

Obviously a pretty loaded question and my answer probably changes all the time. Just earlier today I posted my newest pick-up from last night that I called a potential favorite right in the title of the thread!

But I think I most often go back to this 2001 Rawlings bat made on 4/04/01 and used by Manny during his first week or two with the Red Sox. I love the fact that this marks the start of his time in Boston, his transition of sorts from an innocent hitting machine in Cleveland to what became the aloof clown that Manny can oftentimes be today. He doesn't quite look the part of a Red Sox player, the WS rings are still years ahead, and this bat is one that he never went back to after his initial arrival in town. Manny's first time away from his "comfort" zone and no one is prepared for what's to come.

Bat is uncracked with nice use with double '24' markings and signed by Manny as "game used."
