Re: The last Posada bat ever used?????
Thanks guys. This is definitely one of those bats that has a ton of eye appeal and character. I have a lot of cool stuff and this is the one that people point to and ask questions about the most. I decided to change my collection from quantity to quality. This is definitely in the category of quality! Thanks again for the kind words!

Re: The last Posada bat ever used?????
OnlyAlbert,
The rule is 18 inches up the bat (of the width of the plate for a quick check) and it is still in effect but I believe its a case of the umpire won't take it upon himself to police the rule so the manager of the opposing team would have to make a complaint and since in all likelihood several of his own guys are using bats with illegal pine tar nobody will ever make the compliant.

Re: The last Posada bat ever used?????
LOL. It is really globbed on there. Here are two screen shots from his last at bat in game 5 of the ALDS this past year. Perfect match. Bittersweet hearing that he is retiring but an awesome piece of history in my collection....

I can hear military style taps being played gently somewhere in yankee land.

Re: The last Posada bat ever used?????
Thank you all for the kind words. I am by no means a photoshop expert but here it is right before he grounded out in the 8th inning of game 5. Best picture I could come up with.
Steve and Matt... If I am ever going to sell it, I will let you know.
