Tony, Hope You Enjoy This Game Used 2009 Bat - All the Best, Alex Rodriguez

[3arod13]

Received this bat from Alex Rodriguez last week! It was in exchange for the 1996 Rawlings Bat. It's a pounded 2009 Louisville Slugger C271L Black Bat, 34/32 oz., dated 7/24/2009! Also received a picture of Arod holding the bat; and the same picture personalized from him to me (Tony, Hope you enjoy this game used 2009 bat. All the best, Alex Rodriguez." I've only been trying to photomatch it for a couple days now, but have found some pics from the world series, where you can see pine tar around the centerband. I watched Game 4 of the World Series (Thanks to Joel), and am waiting to watch Games 5 and 6, to see if I can possibly make a match. Bat would have been used early August to November 2009. $50 to anyone who can help photomatch the bat. There are plenty of things on this bat to easily match to a photo.

Couple more pics, but difficult to see details.

Tony that has to be one of the most coolest things I have seen for a player to do and of all players for it to be AROD. AROD has been known from time to time to not be the greatest towards fans and sometimes he is I guess its all a matter of what day you catch him on.

But the fact he took the time out to make sure he did the right thing by a fan and took pictures of himself with the bat to make sure you knew it was directly from him. Is simply crazy.

KUDOS TO AROD YOU JUST STEPPED UP A BIG NOTCH IN MY BELT!!

Agreed! Very Classy gesture by ARod. Thats a bad ass looking bat too! CONGRATS!!!

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

Yes, it was a great experience. Arod was directly involved with this exchanged, and he personally wanted to ensure I received something really nice in exchange for the Rawlings. I knew I was getting a bat, but when I got the personalized photo, well let me just say I may have screamed like a girl...just a little

As a collector, but more importantly as a fan; to receive something directly from your favorite player, is a dream come true. This definately is my prize possession. The Grand Slam Bat is now second!
