Home run bats?

[tigerdale]

OK, this one just kind of happened. I was going thru bats picking out some to GET RID OF!! I came across this Dusty Ryan bat (hammered, you'd thought it was a BP bat) that was hologrammed as cracked by Ramon Santiago. For some reason, the cracked date, august 15th, hit me funny. I remembered I had a hologrammed home run ball from Santiago that day. Could it be??? Well, after emailing my buddy Rich, he did the perfect match on the home run for me!! So here's the bat & ball from a home run. A bat I was w/in minutes of throwing it in a to sell pile has become one of my favorites!!

I don'y have all the pictures and video saved yet but I do have the bat that Justin Upton hit the HR in game one of the 2011 ALDS vs the Brewers, he broke it in game 3 and they sold it in an auction at Chase field during game 4 as being the broken bat but then i photo matched it to the HR.

Black Marucci used by Josh Hamilton on July 9, 2011 to hit his 2nd ever walkoff home run. Broken in the first inning the next day (July 10, 2011).

David Wright 2 HR 5 RBI game on September 16, 2011. Used for both HRs and #13 & #14 on the season. The bat was broken in the first inning the next day. I have several clear matches from MLB.TV, but here is one I found from Getty.
