Albert Pujoles Game Used Old Hickory bat.

He kills them, I read on here that steiner auctions had them going for around $1500, I thought that was a steal. What year is the one you kept, anything special about, or do you just like look of it?

There's nothing special about it, its a 04, just cant seem to part with it. $1500 on Steiner auctions is long and gone the last 3 had a reserve past the $1500 mark.

Sorry man your AP thread has changed directions!!!

[spartanservitto]

haha I guess so.

Yeah, a lot of his bats are batting practice bats. The Corey Hart bat he just put up is a batting practice bat too. The Prince Fielder bat he has for 499 is also one. The deep white marks are always a dead give away. I also watch every at bat for all the Brewers so I know. I think John T's prices are insane for bats that for the most part aren't really "gameused".

Tony,
I dont know about the year, Jeff would be ble to help you better than I could.

as far as I am concerned the 5 on the knob is very consistant with writing and placement I have seen on other bats... as far as the use is concerned the bat seems pretty hammered, which hasn't been a characteristic of Alberts in the past

So while it may have been used in BP or most likely by another player, I still think it is a nice looking bat

Thanks for the response! That is what I was thinking about the use, I like that there is no tar though on the lower handle. I looked on Bird Bats, the big year he used Old Hickory's was 2006, which is consistent with JT's analysis. Pretty cool bat, I was looking for a nice Pujols and I think I got one.

Bert,

Did you own that Louisville Pujols that was recently on ebat, I think it was a M356, the upper barrel is cracked and broken off. I saw in an old forum you posted a picture and it looked exactly the same. What are your thoughts on it?
