Brendan used this uncracked 2010 Marucci to hit his 1st home run of the season, which is career HR #8. The home run came in the 5th inning of the May 27th game against the Padres. The photos below show the bat during the HR at-bat, then the at-bats that followed. The last picture is of the next day against the Cubs, using the same bat. Brendan went 4 for 4 in the Padres game and then 0 for 4 in the Cubs game.

You'll notice the black paint isn't in the game photos. My guess is that after the high and low of a 4/4 and 0/4 game back to back, he decided to switch things up. He did start black taping the handles of his Marucci's within the same week and I think this bat might have been his guinea pig for the idea. Asking $265 shipped. rdeversole@gmail.com
