Just added another photomatched piece to my collection! And for only $75! It's a Kurt Abbott game used 2000 World Series bat. In game 5, he fouled a pitch to the left and his bat shattered and flew all the way to Derek Jeter. Jeter grabbed the bat and fans yelled at him to throw it back at him (to copy what Clemens did to Piazza) but he just gave it back to the batboy. The way the bat is split perfectly matches the pictures. I just ordered a few nice 8x10's from the "getty guy" which I'll be getting on Monday most likely. I'll post the close-ups once I get them so I can hopefully be able to match up some of the ball marks on the barrel.



Here is Abbott as he shattered the bat:
