Your Top Five Eye Appealing Bats. Opinions Requested

[yankees506]

Hey guys i have pondered this question for a while now and ive decided on my top five most eye appealing bats. I baised my list on two factors: 1 being consistency, meaning the player must be known for these characteristics and not a once in a while abnormality. As well as 2: the bat must catch your eye as a bat that was carefully prepared by the player. please not that price or value is NOT important. Ok heres my list:

5. Ken Griffey jr (criss-cross) need i say more
4. Vladimir Guerrero (tar up to wazoo)
3. Alfonso Soriano (long tape job and light to thick tar centerbrand)
2. Gary Sheffield/Sammy Sosa (l happen to love the rediculous amount of knob tape)
1. Jorge Posada 2006-2010 (these bats have a criss-cross tapejob and heavy and i mean heavy tar)

I wonder what bats you guys consider "eye appealing". Any and all opinions welcome

I agree completely with your list, you hit it perfectly but you have to add a:

#6 Sammy Sosa (Ranks right up there with Sheff making a perfect ball tape job on the knob)

Derek Jeter has a Mota Pine Tar stick routiene that mixes with his batting gloves that leaves a pretty recognizable pattern.
Justin Morneau has a small amount of tape on his bats that are always the same.
Paul O'Neill also had a spaced out criss cross tape job on his blonde LS. Barry Bonds had a spiral tape job that wason all his bats toward the end of his playing days. Or is barry still coming back? lol

5. Anything other than a:
4. Pujols game used bat.
3. Pujols game used bat.
2. Pujols game used bat.
1. Pujols game used bat.

and no, I'm not a Cardinals fan. But, Pujols, characteristics and all, is THE bat to own.

Personal favorites:

1. Paul O'Neill --- beautiful blonde Louisville Sluggers, great, consistent tape job, usually cleat marks, long and heavy bat, plus the simplicity of no number on knob.
2. Doug Mientkiewicz -- heavy pine tar, either a bigger knob or a taped knob.
