I noticed lately the Authentication process for MLB is getting more detailed.

I know they have been doing this for a while with baseballs such as Ball pitched by (so & so) during xxx inning.

But they didn't do it much for bats until lately.

I have aquired a couple of bats and one was cracked.

It actually listed the game, the player who used the bat, the inning it was cracked, & the pitcher that was on the mound when the bat cracked.

I think this is fantastic especially for those who either try to photomatch there bats, It gives you a more detailed idea of when exactly the bat was used during which innings. Also this is great to find out what hits this was used for.

My cracked bat which I still have a bit of more narrowing down on - but so far I believe it was used to hit 2 doubles & 2 triples from back to back games!!
