jose cruz E28

[momen55]

hello brian;

84-85 brand period. what do his orders look like for this model? thank you.

[BMH]

He never ordered the E28 according to the records I'm looking over. He's ordered the K48 several times but no E28.

ok. i know there is such a model because it is on my list of knobless bats.
i found one that is from 84-85, and it has his name. could it be that a teammate ordered that model with jose's name on it? it does have the other player's number marked on the knob.

craig reynolds wore #12 in 84-85. did he order that model?

[momen55]

here is pic of the bat. let me know what you think.

[BMH]

I never said there was no such model. In fact it is in our bat vault. What I said was I have no record of him ordering that model. What that means...I don't know. I just type his name into SAP and it tells me the orders that have been made for him. If it is missing an order I don't know how to check that since that is our old System80 that we were using before we switched to SAP in 1996.

[BMH]

I just looked at the picture again...what is his FULL NAME on the bat? SAP will only tell me exactly what I type in it, nothing more.

So, if say you are looking for Brian Michael Hillerich and I type in Brian Hillerich it will not show up.

brian;
the bat is 34.5 and all the specifications point to that of julio cruz's. this is what i think happened. the bat was branded with the wrong cruz autograph. it matches all of julio's specs. what do you think?

[momen55]

bmh;
what is your take on this? possible?

[BMH]

Anything is possible I guess, I wasn't there when that bat was made.

The signature is likely Jose "Cheo" Cruz, as "Cheo" was Jose's nickname.
