Re: Tony, Hope You Enjoy This Game Used 2009 Bat - All the Best, Alex Rodriguez
Awesome bat Tony!!
I haven't been following the board much lately so I'm sure I missed it but what Rawlings bat are you talking about and what was the deal with it that he wanted it?
Congrats again.-Randy

Re: Tony, Hope You Enjoy This Game Used 2009 Bat - All the Best, Alex Rodriguez
A while back, I bought what I believed to be was a 1996 Rawlings HR #15 game used bat. Documentation seemed solid, which came from Sports Collectors Digest (SCD), signed by Tory Kinnunen, Letter from Arod Authenticated, signed by Arod, PSA, etc. Of course, I had to dig deeper and wanted to photomatch, so I contacted the Mariners and Red Sox and obtained video o the actual game. Long story short, he used a Louisville Slugger and not a Rawlings bat. Of course I was pissed when I found out. Anyway, a couple years later, it's finally been resolved and I am more than satisified.
Regards, Tony

SUAVE, LMAO!! Yeah, Joel told me the same thing also. Of course, matching it to a World Series game would be icing on the cake. I was focussing on the World Series because of the few photos I game across, where I could see pine tar around the centerband. I checked Getty Images and Corbis, and found a few pics before the playoffs, but they weren't large enough to see. And for some reason, MLB.TV doesn't have archived games from 2009, which makes it a little rougher and limits my resources.

Just an awesome bat Tony! Probably the best Arod bat I have seen. I remember following your post a few years ago and empathizing with your frustrations; glad it worked out and then some. Could not have happened to a better guy. Best- Joe

Wow Tony! Great story man, glad Arod made it better. Totally jealous. I need one of those in my collection now. There's nothing like a hammered Arod bat. Especially from his WS winning year.
