Ethier using a nickname bat?

**kylehess10** · 05-06-2011, 01:06 PM

This is on MLB's homepage right now. I'm curious to know what Ethier's bat says. Anybody know?

At first glance I thought it said "KEMPMAN"

Maybe it's a Matt Kemp bat.

In highlights on mlb network, I have noticed him using both bats with 16 and bats with 27 on the knob, so Kemp makes sense.

I have a Kemp model bat that's autographed by Ethier and photomatched to him using it in 2009. He seems to use Kemp's bats quite often.

He has used Matt Kemps bats a bit during the streak as well.

Well now I'm sure we can determine it's a Kemp bat, but does it really say "Kempman"? Maybe BMH can chime in

"Kempman"
