Possible altering of bats in question.Please look
I made a deal last week to purchase a 2005 game used Johnny Damon bat from from Mike Nardone(ebay id Dolphinboy).When buying Red Sox bats i usually contact Bobby Texeira to get his input as he knows much about current Red Sox game used.He immediately told me not to buy the bat because there was a good chance it was altered to show game use.Fact is Mr Nardone bought a 05 Damon game ISSUED BWP from Bobby himself from ebay.When i compared the pictures Bobby sent me of the bat there is a dead on photomatch of the knob of the pictures Mr Nardone sent me of the "game used" bat.I will provide all pictures below.With Mr Nardone's pictures followed by Bobby's.Mr Nardone was very defensive and resorted to name calling in all emails since i told him of this.I also asked for a picture of the top of the bat and he told me he is sick of wasting his time and i'll get it sometime this week.So Mr Nardone here is your chance to prove me wrong.The knobs match.I bet the tops do too!This is my opinion and in no way fact.But i believe i have something here.Here's the pictures.I'm sure Bobby will chime in later today when he has a chance.

The altered bat is the pictures on the decking.The bat before is the pictures on the tiles.You decide! Looks like the same bat to me.Especially the knob and the markings underneath the engraved name.

Eric if this email is to graphic i apologize and give permission for it to be edited.This is the exact email i just recieved from the lovely Mr Nardone:
Wow,
I guess having a job and being handicapped is too much
to ask for. What I'll do is quit my job, run right
home, take a picture of the bat, so some f****** idiot
can email me back and say - you know I'm sorry you
were right.
If I was unemployed like you, hanging around doing
nothing all day, I could take a picture right away..
As I stated, you will get your picture, when I have
the time to send it.
I could care less about Game used universe, if they
are all like the idiot BOB, then I'm happy to not deal
with any of them.
None of them buy and everyone has a useless uninformed
opinion. If I see one slanderous comment from you -
f***head, my lawyer will contact you.
I get a free lawyer from the disabled Americans
society and will be more than happy to have him sue
your ass.
Trust me. GO THE F*** AWAY and do NOT EMAIL ME AGAIN.
Every email I receive from *** ********** will be
deleted going forward

It's too bad he cut off communication, I'd like to know what he REALLY thinks of you!
Strange situation, though. I've bought many very nice bats from him.
I hate these situations!

Please.Someone confirm that i'm not crazy.This is the same bat right?Look at the rack marks on the center logo on both pics they are the same.As is the same with the markings above and below the engraved name on the barrel.And the knob is a match.

Uh, Eric, you might want to go back and do some more editing; you missed one.

When photo-matches go bad ...
I can see a number of marks that appear to match up perfectly. I say let that guy take you to court. He'd be wasting his money. Good luck, Jon!"The knowledge that this guy has in his head, some of you would never be able to comprehend."

And what does being handicapped have to do with any of this?
