Albert Pujols World Series Bats

[Birdbats]

Here's the rundown on Albert's post-season bats (so far):

Division series

G1 -- Black Sam
G2 -- Black Sam (1st plate appearance), then natural Sam
G3 -- Natural Sam
G4 -- Natural Sam

League Championship

G1 -- Natural Sam
G2 -- Natural Sam (1st and 2nd PA), then natural Old Hickory
G3 -- Natural Old Hickory
G4 -- Black Old Hickory
G5 -- Black Old Hickory (1st PA), then natural Sam
G6 -- Natural LS M9
G7 -- Natural LS M9

World Series

G1 -- Natural LS M9 (1st PA), then natural Sam
G2 -- Natural Sam

During the regular season, Albert used a natural LS M9 during just 30 plate appearances (5% of total PA). The "5" on the knob has been both large and small on his M9 bats this season. The smaller "5" was accompanied by a length/weight notation.

The M9 he used in early April split into two pieces after 6 PA. The M9 he used for 3 PA in September also cracked. The other 21 natural M9 plate appearances were in August. He may have used up to 4 different M9 bats in this 21 PAs, based on the pine tar and ball mark patterns and the different sized numbers I observed on the knobs. Overall, I'm assuming Albert swung six different natural M9 bats during the regular season.

What do you think an unused Pujols Louisville Slugger World Series bat like those are worth?

I didn't have the Pujols WS bat from 2004, but several of the other unused bats I had from the Cardinals and Red Sox sold for $400 to $800. I would certainly think with Albert's popularity it would eclipse those $$$$.

I just picked up from the loser's side this game used Magglio Ordonez which I photomatched to Game 4 and it had the 2006 World Series stamp on the barrel.

Could you post pics? I love seeing photomatched items

Here are a couple shots of my game used 2004 Pujols World Series bat. Not for sale at any price, but I thought some would enjoy seeing it...

Hi there. That was me.

Eric, those Jeter World Series bats are nice. Are you wanting to sell them? If so, how much.

On a serious note, I have a 2006 Albert Pujols Louisville Slugger World Series bat that is unused. It's just like the ones I pictured at the start of the thread. I was told there were only 4 or 5 made. If anyone is interested I will be taking offers on it over the next week. I don't have any pics of it as my camera was broken by my 2 year old last week but I will do my best to answer any questions that you may have. You can email an offer if your interested to tevans@eckart.com

Thanks
Todd
