Re: Alex Rodriguez Home Run Bat Error?

Just got an update from John Taube. After seeing these shots from the 6/3 Detroit game and comparisions with the auction bat he agrees that that the auction bat is not the homerun bat from that game.

Futhermore the fact that ARod mistakenly signed it as Hr 639 against Detroit when he hit no. 639 against Altanta on 6/12 adds additional conflict.

John indicated that he will pull the PSA letters from the auction bat and will be meeting with the 13AlexRodriquez folks in a couple of weeks and will attempt to sort the bats out.

He will keep us posted on what happens.

Good news.

Just wondering whether John authenticated a collection of Arod baseball bats when he authenticated the questioned bat. I am asking whether John has authenticated the GS bat also and if yes, what was the inscription.

Actually, thanks to Bill for bringing it to this forum. Unfortunate things went south for him.

You are both wrong!! Bonds and AROD will go into the Hall of Fame.................................. When they buy tickets lol lol

Any update on this? I'm curious to know what happened/will happen to the bat. Meaning inscription removed, replaced with game used, then resold?

One of the argeements I made with the Rawlings bat was, if it was to be sold, the entire story and history had to be told. I don't want the bat to renter the hobby, with new LOA's attached to it, and it's history not told. It's important to me that the entire story is told, if resold. I don't want someone to buy it, to only find out after the fact it's history. All was agreed.

Man! This thread was flowing so smoothly, until now. Guess there is a comedy everywhere. By the way, when will Barry Bonds be getting into the Hall of Fame?

On the serious side, it amazes me that someone with Arod's experience and years in the league, would have a problem with overthinking too much. He looks so awkward at the plate. Hope he breaks out of it soon!

Sorry couldn't resist, but when will either Bonds or Arod get in the Hall?
