Is it a common practice for a player to use a bat that is ordered and stamped "08" in 2009? (for example)?

I wouldn't say it's common, but it happens.

In his first season with the Cubs (2003), Moises Alou gave me a 2002 Astros bat. Similarly, Brant Brown, a Pirate in 1999, gave me a 1998 Cubs bat (both Rawlings).
