Hello BMH,

I (and I am sure others as well) am curious about these game model bats that Baseball Express will be carrying. The link for the item is at:

From what I understand, these are being made for them in 2009, yet it has Evan's 2008 signature branding. The 125 at the centerbrand is not underlined, and I don't know if anything is stamped under the knob. I was curious if you could let us in on any other way to tell that these are not game issued bats? I understand that Longoria uses 33.5 inch bats weighing in at 31 to 31.5 ounces, so length and weight is one way. According to the detail the wood, finish, and flaming will be exactly to the pro standards and specs. I am mainly wondering if there will be stamping under the knob like they do for other store model bats, even though these will be higher quality than store model bats. Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
