Manny Ramirez Home Run #532 & 539 photo matched bats
I picked up these 2009 Manny Ramirez SSK bats a while back and never got around to posting the photo matches.
The hammered two-tone SSK bat was used by Manny to club his 532nd career HR vs the San Diego Padres, bottom of the 3rd inning on April 30, 2009.

Here's the two-tone SSK bat and I was able to match up the pine tar to a game vs the San Francisco Giants. Trying to find out the exact dat of this game in 2009. Anyone know?

Bobby,
These bats are sick. Let me know if you're ever looking to sell one.

Interesting to see how far apart his hands are on the follow-though. You wouldn't think he could generate that kind of power with that swing.

Re: Manny Ramirez Home Run #532 & 539 photo matched bats
Very cool Bobby. I think I have 2 or 3 bats to try and match. Want to do like you and look at stats surrounding games if match is determined and hopefully find a HR in there!
Another pic of your two-tone if you don't have it:

Re: Manny Ramirez Home Run #532 & 539 photo matched bats
Bobby - my photomatching skills are still so-so but tried one with my girlfriend's help. The knob markings look the same and line up with the Rawlings logo in my opinion... though I struggled to get the correct angle and perspective. There's also a telling mark on the outter knob above the '4' where the black finish is starting to wear off. Looks to match as well.
What do you guys think? Keep in mind the Manny picture is blown up quite a bit and the bat picture is shrunk down to fit and from a different angle. Involves using a little imagination I'd say. Manny did homer the day before this picture was taken April 5, 1998.
Thanks.
Mike
