Markakis bat that was used on 5-27-2009. When Nick signed it he told me this bat was made for when he had to face Mariano Rivera.

I'm curious as to what Markakis meant by that? Does that bat have
a thicker handle to prevent breakage?

This bat is smaller than the ones he normally uses, definitely shorter, it also has a pretty good amount of tape around the knob. I would have to assume he was referring to the size of the bat and tape job.

Wow that's pretty cool. That's respect right there when you use
a special bat just for a specific pitcher.

Re: Post Your Photo-matched Game-used Items Here

While trying to match my new acquired Bart Oates playoff/SB jersey, I was able to match my Ricky Watters home throwback supposedly worn in the NFC championship to the divisional round vs the Bears, played the week prior.

Ricky Watters game worn home throwback worn vs Bears with team letter and "Bronco tape" stating that jersey was worn in NFC Championship. Photo-matched by loose thread in armpit next to customized sleeves.

The interesting thing is that I have not been able to match the jersey to the NFC Championship! It would not be the first time that the team mixed up jerseys and LOAs as I have seen this before with a Steve Young 1994 throwback. What is even more interesting is that it was done by the equipment manager as the cloth tape on the nameplate states "DALLAS 1/15/95".

If the jersey turns out not to have been worn in the NFC Ch. then I can live with that as I have Rice's, Brent Jones's, Rickey Jackson's, Bart Oates's, Derrick Loville's and Tim Harris's jerseys from the divisional round.

The jersey has been washed but shows nice use but an NFC Championship gamer vs a Divisional Round gamer are two different things. Just another day in the GU hobby world!

Always buying 49er GU!

Thanks to MLB for this one. I got a "reward" for voting in the ASG final man vote, a free temporary subscription to MLB.TV. So I started searching for a couple photomatches. This bat first hit the market from a June-July 2010 auction hosted by Miguel Cabrera. I figured he personally acquired the bat from Billy in the early June Tigers at Royals series. So I started there and worked my way back to 5/31/2010 when I photomatched this bat to the at bat when it broke in the second inning. Photomatched it to the game before on 5/30/2010, and could tell it had a lot of previous use. So I went back to the most recent HR on 5/26/2010 and photomatched to that as well. So, looks like this bat was used for close to a week. The highlight being HR #5 of 2010, which was career HR #45.

Re: Post Your Photo-matched Game-used Items Here

Just for fun, I went ahead and also matched the bat to a walk and two doubles on 5/25/2010.

And to all four hits in a 4 for 5 with a double on 5/23/2010.

By my count I'm up to 8 games of use from 5/23/2010 to 5/31/2010, including a HR, 3 Doubles, and a 4 for 5 game. A span totaling 13 for 28 (.464), with 3 Doubles and a HR.

Not sure if this was the play that caused the tear on the back, but thought it was pretty cool.

Here's an Evan Longoria Louisville Slugger I13 from 2009 that had two eyes drawn on the barrel in marker. One was later smeared on contact.
